Why do people accept invitations to days out, parties, dinner etc then not bother coming or cancel if somethng better comes up.
Call me old fashioned but if I;ve agreed with someone to meet them for a particular reason then I bloody well go.
At the request of a friend I organised for a group of us to head out yesterday. Two cancelled that morning, another rang to say they were running an hour late and could I wait and others just didnt bother turning up. In the end it was just me and my two children.
I have stupidly organised another day out today with a different group of friends. One cancelled last night as they have had a better offer, I;e yet to see how many will come.
I;ve lost count of the number of parties where children just dont come after the parents have confirmed they will.
I;ve lost count of the amount of spare seats at dinner when people have agreed to come on a night out then dont bother turning up. These are not always events that I have organised so it seems that we are in a culture that people will just cancel at the drop of a hat and think it acceptable.
I think it's really fucking rude.
