I just hope she's not mad that I didnt answer right away...and I hope she doesnt text me again or call after work tonight. I dont wanna be an ass again...it seems wrong not answering her.
If you were present, and she asked you to your face, and you didn't respond . . . that would be being an ass.
Via text message, you can plausibly say you had your phone turned off, or were busy, and didn't get her message. The rules of etiquette are different for text messages.
But I too wanna ask you, why do you even CARE if she's upset?? The only thing you're caring about now is "The Right Thing to Do," remember?
