The frustration of relying on friends.

Current mood: aggravated

I've become so tired of people who say they'll do things backing out or leaving me hanging with no explanation.

For example, I went out with a friend yesterday, and she said I should come to lunch today, also, since she was going out with another friend to lunch anyway. So I said "sure, sounds awesome, just let me know when." So I woke up today, waited around a bit and she didn't call, so I called her, and it just rang. I'm pretty damn sure she would have her cell phone on her, or at least call me back when she saw a missed call from me.

So then I was on my way to the pharmacy, and happened to drive by where she said they would be eating, and low and behold, her car is in the parking lot.


Also last night, someone said they'd let me know if they had room in the car to take me to a concert they were performing in. I just texted him and he said they were already there and there was no room, but I mean, it only takes a text to let me know and not have me sitting aorund wondering.


I'm tired of people saying I can come to things and they'll let me know etc, and have me sitting around doing nothing because I thought they'd call me, or they wont answer their phone.

I'd happily have accepted "Sorry, I just want to eat lunch with my other friend today." But no, we have to pretend our phone was magically not in our pocket and we didn't see the missed call.

It's not fair to leave someone sitting around waiting for your call thinking they have plans and then ditching them for no damn reason.

I hear you man, but we're human; you should probably get used to it...

The infamous: "Oh, if I ignore this, then it never happened..." or "Oh, I am a lazy <insert derogatory word here> and I don't feel like explaining to Bob why I ditched him." 'Tis humanity for ya :(

Agreed. All I want are some friends I can rely on to jam with but all they feel like doing is partying. It does get annoying, though I'll be honest and say I could accuse myself of not calling someone when I was lazy. Still, good blog lol
