I do not like guy who does not keep his word. If that happen to me, I'll talk to him so that I would know the reason why. It is so frustrating to wait for how many hours and then, the guy would not keep his word.

Being late does not anger one more than being late and not calling to inform the person waiting. I am a very punctual person and i like to meet with someone who keeps time. Promises are made to be fulfilled not broken. Sorry you had to go through that, probably let this guy know next time he better keep time.For me, its simple courtesy.

Waiting is disgusting. A few minutes waiting seems taking long hours and what a boring it is ! Most importantly why I will waste my time for nothing. In most cases it can be settled by using cell phone. What is important here is responsible attitude and respective feeling to the person who waits. I personally hate the situation and make the issue settled before waiting for someone. I may excuse the genuine cause of making delay but it should not cross the limit.

I see we fall in the same category,i actually hate being kept waiting and cant help the anger that forms inside me.That guy is really a big joker,invites you to see a sick guy then keeps you waiting?if i were you i would forget about the whole thing and carry on with my work.

hi TLilly12. if this is the first time that his person has done this, maybe he has a valid explanation. sometimes unexpected things happen at the last minute and these hampers us from keeping our appointments. if you knew the guy to be a dependable person, then be assured that what happened was entirely out of his control.

Well since I'm a person who likes to be ready and on time at all times this would get me so upset. Thankfully I don't hang with alot of people who don't keep their word. My hubby says "I promise" he will keep his promise. I can't imagine waiting for someone that long without calling him to see what the problem is, even to leave a message that I was waiting for him. So what did you do?

If I know people who would always come in late in meeting up, then I do not make too much effort in coming to the meeting place on time as well. Coz time is precious for me and I can still do a lot of things at home than wait for him that long.
I am the kind of person who always want to be atleast 30 minutes to an hour earlier than the agreed time. And I wish to be respected with that.

It happens to me more than I care to think about. I have a Childcare Business and clients will tell me they are coming to meet me at a certain time and then come several hours later or never show up at all! It is so annoying because I might have plans or I don't feel like sitting around waiting for no reason. People should be more considerate that is for sure. For some reason most of the people don't call or text either to let me know what's going on. It's not hard to let someone know!

That makes the 2 of us. I also don't like people who cannot keep their word. Its bad enough that they have to ruin the plans, but to not say anything about it to me or even have the courtesy to break to me that he wouldn't be able to make it is way too much. I would have left when he's late and when he wouldn't pick up his phone. And never again will I arrange some plans with him.

of course who would want wait. that's also my dilemma with my friend. She said this time.. but I have to wait for so long for her. That's why I bring something to do when we are meeting so that even if she comes late I am not wasting my time

Hey liily,
I can understand the frustration that you are going through. But some times we need to understand things from a bigger perspective in terms of what are the possible reasons as to why he was not able to be there in time for the meeting? And if they are genuine we can give a chance to other person to overcome situations like these. But if the persons does this repeatedly it is better to have conversation with those people by E mail, mobile, instant messenger so that you can save your time

This happens all the time over here. Nobody keeps their word, nobody arrives on time, nobody gives a damn about anything! That's why I want to go to one of those ridiculously organized countries, you know, where people actually respect each other and respect everything. And answer their cell phone!
