Were you buying something? Selling?

Or just lonely? Joking. But what was the situation, brought a fish or coral for him?

At the end of the day is it really that hard to show up if youve said you where going to, and miracle of miracles be on time .

hahahah you bunch of clowns are cracking me up!!!!! :lol:
but in all honesty i understand where he"s coming from. if you say your going to be somewhere, then be there. at least call and say you can't come or call and apologize after. with that being said, sometimes people really had no choice because something came up last minute.....but if that was the case they could have at least called after and apologized and explained why. i have to be honest and say that you need to chill a bit, count to 10 or 10000 and then vent lol. been there and done that :wink:

Is this where all the cool kids hang out???;p

Hey People.... All you attacking the poster is as bad as him venting. I think everyone should lay off a bit!

He did say he was venting, and I do think everyone is taking what he say's to an extreme level also. The fact he is from Mission, probably means he made a trip out, and arranged a special get together (maybe to buy or sell something). It only takes a phone call to say they can't make it. Doesn't it? I too would be upset!

The last time I got stood up was by a friend I have known for nearly 10 years. I met him when I lived in Australia, and I've been back to visit several times, he's also come here twice.

He had told me he was coming and not shown up several times, but that had always been the 'hey I'm coming to Canada in 6 months' and then never followed through with actual planning of a trip sort of thing. However this last time, he actually gave me dates, flight details, times, hotel information, etc., etc., and asked me to pick him up from the airport. I booked time off school stuff, some other people here who also knew him booked time off work, we made reservations at restaurants for the nights he was going to be here, and I went to the airport to retrieve him.

Two hours of wandering around said airport looking like a chump later, I dug in to it and found out there was no hotel reservation, nor was he ever booked on the flight. Further digging revealed that he was in fact a pathological liar (resulting in at least one fraud conviction in Australia), and 80% of what I had thought I knew about him for a decade wasn't true. I still to this day haven't heard from him with an explanation or an apology.

I think everyone has tax pain. I agree it's annoying but let's not go crazy.

MarkoD 04-02-2012 06:52 PM

This is the reason I don't give away cheato anymore. I'll take it to the lfs and people can pick it up at their convinience .

jorjef 04-02-2012 06:58 PM

I would consider his "venting" a little off the charts.......and I quote "f****n POS" That seems a wee bit extreme...No one likes a no show, but wow he drove home sat at his computer typed the post and THEN hit post...really!! Why would you even come on here to say that... we all have been there...was he looking for support?? ... go throw rocks at planes if you need to vent.
