Watch out....

People who are habitually late, or no-shows, please stay away.

I have grown tired of having 'friends' who keep showing up late, or keep missing appts, citing ridiculous reasons, like "I overslept", or "Sorry, last-min farewell drinks", or "My cat died", etc.

My time is precious too, as well as the resources I have invested into making the appt, sacrificing my opportunity costs, committing my friendship. And people just easily discard these things when they keep canceling/ being late on me. I would rather sit at home and watch my toenails grow, watch paint dry, then waste another second standing there waiting for you, or another beautiful sunday morning getting cancelled on and disrupting all my other plans.

I AM TIRED OF THIS.

If you cannot make it, say so in advance. Not wait till I check with you why you not around yet.

If you know you will be late, change the appt time EARLY enough to give me a chance to plan something else. Not when I'm down there waiting already for an half hour.

If you don't want to meet me, just say so. Not just push and push, or accept and cancel.

Either you value my friendship, or you don't. For those who obviously don't, please please screw off...
