I have this friend that is so flakey. I can go on for days about her, but let me just name a few.
She told me one year that it was my turn to throw the Halloween party. I'm not much of a party person, but she begged me and I finally obliged. Then, she didn't even show up! Didn't call or anything!
She does that all the time. She always says she's going to come and doesn't show or call. Everytime. Birthday parties, tupperware parties, Halloween parties... Even occasions where I've taken a day off of work (wasted a vacation day) or bought tickets!
I haven't even hung out with her in over a year because of this. She never returns my calls. OH! But God forbid if I don't return her call or show up to her parties, bbq's, girls night outs, etc...
But this is the topper that has really pi$$ed me off. When she heard that I might sell Beauticontrol she said "Oh, please do, I've been dying to have a Spa Party." Well, I called her once I became a consultant and she told me she wanted to have the party December 7th. I told her that I already had tickets to the Kings basketball game ($150 per ticket!) so she needed to find another night. Well, she begged and pleaded saying that's the only night. Well, I'm really excited about making some extra money so I told her that if she promised to not flake, I'd give the tickets to someone else. (We'd gotten the tickets as a Christmas gift from Mike's work.) She swore up and down that it was a go.
So...I gave the tickets $300 tickets to a friend of mine. I really wanted to go to that game. Today, I get an email "Tonya, I am so sorry, I don't know what happened, but I'm not going to have the party after all. Maybe Jan 3rd? Let's book it then."
You know, on one hand it seems lame to disown someone over flaking. But how important am I to her? Obviously she doesn't care much about me. I am so mad!
