So the situation was like I was out all day somewhere and having a day out and after that said day out, I was so tired had an afternoon nap, woke up at 6:30pm and 5 minutes later my friend calls and asks me whether I would like to meet her somewhere, but the story about this I had a big day out, slept for the afternoon, woke up and then slightly after that got a call asking me to hang out but since I don't drive and rely on public transport (out with mum so thats how I had the day out somewhere remote and she drives) and wouldn't have been able to make it so I had to turn it down, what would you do??? would you feel bad about this situation about turning it down?? have you turned down last minute invites? please let me know???
No, I don't like last minute anything. My days are planned and I need advance notice of any changes, at least 24 hours. You don't have anything to feel badly about. We all should value our time and by extension, ourselves.

Nothing wrong with that. I would thank my friend for the invite, briefly explain why it wasn't going to work, and might follow up with a request for a raincheck. That it was "last minute" doesn't really change anything; I don't get bent out of shape over last minute...sometimes spontaneity is great. I just decline if it isn't convenient.
I had one the other day. It wasn't really last minute -- invited at 3 o'clock for dinner that evening. I already had things scheduled for the afternoon, and for the next day, etc.. It would have been too much for me. I could tell the friend was disappointed -- she is very spontaneous and I am the opposite. I felt guilty, but I need to have control of my time, since I am busy.
Since your decline was due primarily because of transportation,it's excusable.
My friends and I rarely plan....we learned that moments and opportunities are sporadic. So we tend to go with the flow. We figure if we have the time..we spend it well.
Hope you get to redo an evening out. Friends can brighten your day.
