Does it piss you off when people flake on you? Especially, at the last minute.
I was scheduled to hang out w/a group of buddies from my EMT class tonight. Three to be precise. And all three flaked out. Now Brandon had a good excuse, he worked a full 10 hour day and was worn out. After he heard the other two flaked, I offered to just cancel and do it another time. He accepted. I don’t blame him however, the other two don’t have such a good excuse. Even worse, the girl who put all this together text’d me her cancellation. She couldn’t even CALL. People just don’t value their word anymore these days. It’s like “yeah, I’ll hang out with you until I’m distracted by something else.” I’m not angry per say, just annoyed. I was looking forward to seeing them all day and booked my plans around the get together.
Now, I’m all dressed up and no one to blow nowhere to go. *sigh*
Yeah, that does suck… sorry Moby, sometimes (well often) people make no sense. When I finally make it out there, I won’t flake on you; I might stammer in awe at meeting the Great and Wonderful Moby, he who stands way above all of us mere mortals, but I won’t flake out. 😉
(Oh, and what do you mean no one to blow/nowhere to go – isn’t the city FULL of places to do that? *grin*)
If I promise to be there, I’m there, though I’ll admit certain things are forgivable including surgery, or death. Still, I think there’s a certain liberty in being flexible enough to find something else to do when theings fall through.
I’m sure you’ll find someone to entertain you.
No all to well Moby. It’s happened quite a bit! Annoyed yes but at times I have gotten to the point of “pissed” because the so-called set engagement had made me clear my calendar of other things I would have enjoyed equally if not more.
; )
Darn it! If only I could have been teleported to SF the moment you found out you had nobody to “blow”… I could have served as the stand in. Dammit! Hurry up and invent a teleporter Moby!
Piff, you have to wait your turn in line, brettcajun. 😉
Oh no you didn’t just try to cockblock me Joe! Grrr… whipping my Slab billy stick out my trousers.
Now now, there’s plenty of Moby to go around – and somehow I don’t think he’s mind a line waiting to enjoy his favors. 😉
(Wow, didn’t we degenerate this conversation quickly; I was going to suggest you take the back and I’d take the front, but that seemed too crass 🙂 )
Yes Moby, as a society I think we’ve become “less curteous”. The other day I read about a company that fired an employee via a text message. That is just wrong!
If I were close, I would’ve done something with you.
I’m here! I promise I won’t flake! Email me!
It really does suck and I don’t understand how to text message. Is it me or do people seem to flake out more than ever as of late?
Hmmm well at least you got the cancellations bro. I’ve been in situations where people haven’t even called or txt’ed.. they just don’t show! hehe. Fun huh?
