First of all, I absolutely hate when people are late. If you tell someone a time you will meet them, or be somewhere...here is a genius idea...BE THERE! A lot of Ram's friends constantly run late so we have gotten in the habit of of telling them to to meet us 30 minutes ahead of the actual time. Around our house it is known as "Sri Lankan Time". Most of the time we will ask each other, 7:00 our time or 7:00 Sri Lankan time? But really, if you way you'll meet at a certain time, that means we will be there then...not 45 minutes later!
Along the same lines is people that aren't reliable in relation to standing one up. If we make a plan, please do not ditch me or cancel on me last minute. We most likely have made plans for a reason, so be a good person and hold your end of the date up! If you don't want to see me, don't make a date! I tend to get my hopes and excitement up in a big way so I'm an disappointed very easily, especially in this type of situation!
Finally are the people who are as fake as those lips on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I know we all have to be a little fake every once in awhile, but not daily! If you genuinely like me or someone else, be nice and be yourself. Don't pretend! Most of the time I will be able to tell when you are using me out of convenience or your own weird/deceitful plan, not because you enjoy the time we spend together. I promise, if you are real with me, I will return the favor!
Whew, there you have it. I'm of my high horse now and on to the next important issue! Until tomorrow all...
The lateness and not showing up makes me mad, too. Some people seem to think that 7:00 means getting ready at 7:15 and maybe arriving around 7:45. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree...if someone is so great at something, or they think they know everything about it, why are they even asking you to do it?
