People not turning up

It's maddening. It's completely disrespectful, as it shows that they see your time as less important than theirs. I feel the same about people cancelling social arrangements at the last minute, too.

Yes, quite awful. People only do that to me once and I never rearrange with them....except if an absolute emergency had taken place and that has never happened thus far..

That is so frustrating and no excuse for not at least letting you know they’ll be late or can’t make it. You plan your day around these appointments. Really makes me cross.

Just wanted a rant about people not turning up when they say they will. Someone was supposed to be coming last night to collect something from me and they never turned up - no message. Likewise today a workman said he’d look at a job between 12 and 2pm today and here we are at 3 and no sign of him and no message. Why can’t people do what they say they will or at least tell you when they can’t make it. What has happened to old fashioned manners?
