So, what is it with people lately?
This weekend (Friday through Sunday) brought a crescendo of something that has been happening to me a lot lately. Every single person who made plans with us either showed up late, or cancelled at the last minute.
By “late,” I don’t mean ten minutes late (the time it takes me to change a flat tire), or forty-five minutes late (the time it takes other people to change a flat tire). I mean two or three hours late, which mucks up the rest of my plans for the day.
It was an irritating cap on father’s day. I wish people would not promise to show up without being committed to the decision. There are other things I can do with the time besides buying food to prepare and share, and just waiting around. I think that is a reasonable request, because I don’t disrespect people that way.
