Don't give me anymore fucking lame excuses
a supposed gathering of 7 people ended up with just 2 today, the birthday girl and myself.. how sad is that?! the gathering was planned way back in dec, so there was sufficient notice and agreement by all. n the shitload of lame excuses came only today, on the day of the gathering itself...
- my hubby not around, i got no transport (don't u know something called public transport?)
- no one to look after my baby girl (u got weeks of notice, u should have planned it)
- i'll be late (no appearance at all at the end of the day)
- i can't make it (no attempt to even give a lame excuse)
yeap, that's one of the kinds of friends i've got.. in fact, many fall into this category. my patience has been 'trained' all these years after countless of such occassions.
got a call from a friend this morning asking to meet after lunch. after much planning (by me), we decided to meet at 3pm. n due to it, i actually had to cancel my dinner appointment with
fishy. so 3 of us waited n waited... it was only at 7pm when we got to 'grace' his arrival. while waiting during that few hours, we got excuses like
'its raining heavily at my area.. can't get a cab'. please!! u were the one who asked us out in the first place!
yeap, so at the end of the day.. with 2 such incidences, i lost my cool. i couldn't help it. i seemed more pissed than the birthday girl, haaa. but as she said, its at such moments we know who are our true friends, n who are those who actually bother... am i being short-tempered here? i don't know. some just don't get it, i'm not upset because the turn-out was terrible. i'm upset coz these people don't keep their word and its obvious where their priorities lie with us as their friends. n i wouldn't mind if they were to tell me much earlier that they can't make it. even if it all boils down to just the birthday girl and myself. at least we could have planned our own programs n not wait around like fools.
to hell with these people.
