What I want to know is where does it come from? And just why is it for some people to do what they say they are going to do? If there is some reason, you cannot keep your word, please call someone and let them know you will not be able to make it. Do not leave them hanging. Nothing pisses me off more than for someone to do this.
In my opinion, when someone tells me they are going to do something and then they don't without a reasonable reason as to why not, my respect for them goes down to almost zero. Is this really the way you want to be treated.
What's so hard about keeping your commitments to others? Or the promises one has made? Huh? What is so wrong with this world that we can't keep our word to one another? Where has integrity gone? Has it disappeared along with everything else? Where have the days gone when a person's word was good for everything? Now to get anyone to do something for you on a specific date, you almost need it written in blood.
Yes, I know there are times for different reasons we can't always keep our words and tell little white lies to keep from hurting someone's feelings. I've done it and will do it again. But when someone has counted on me, I've moved heaven and earth to be there for them. I know things come up in life that needs our attention more, but please, what happened to a simple phone call to let someone know, I can't do this or that? Is it really that hard?Excuse my rant for today. But is it so wrong to expect some consideration and respect?
