I Hate Flakey People
Whether it’s a stranger from Craigslist who’s supposed to come pick something up, or even a friend who blows you off. It happens over and over and I’m sick of it. Now I understand that people are busy and things come up, but when it becomes a habit, I stop being so understanding.
I have a new rule now. You get two chances. After that, I’m done with you. I don’t know what it is about Seattle that makes people this way, but I’m not going to take it. I love it here, and I’d really hate to have to move away in order to make friends and have a decent social life. Two chances people! That’s it.
That irks me to no end too. Especially if they flake and do not call and let me know. I have a busy life too. I’m making time to meet up. Have the courtesy to let me know that you can’t make it so I can invest that time in something else.
Exactly! People here never call to let you know they’re not going to show up. Hell, sometimes it’s days before I hear from them again. Bastards.
