I was so cranky listening today with you sanctioning flakiness! People who cancel plans are THE WORST. They disrespect your time, dissapoint and sometimes remove the on,y good thing you had to look forward to- that one thread of life holding you together.
People are getting worse aswell with manners a forgotten art. I went to a work dinner the other night that had 50 rsvps from local health professionals and 10 showed up, all those meals cooked for the bin. It’s time wasting disrespectful and rude and makes my blood boil.
I have to be practically dead to cancel a commitment and even when I feel like flaking I go and often have the best time.
I wouldn’t never insult my friends by letting them down, and fibbing with poor excuses.
