lol whaaaaaat do you mean by that? Have I not turned up to a meeting we arranged? haha You're right. I will be more firm with these people from now on. Been way too nice with them. I'm not going to be mean, but just more firm.

@Daljinder lol I am actually really good when it comes to making it on time. I am the type of person who would rather be an hour early than 5 minutes late. It's so hard to be scary! Me trying to be scary is like you trying to be mean. Very rare. See I am so kind I decided to tell you something nice about you!

@VivaLaDani13 Uh... close but it's fine :) (Snort) If that ever happened that you did not turn up? You can be rest assured that I will be reacting in three ways. I am unpredictable and impulsive in such circumstances. So, which of the three reaction you will get will depend on the level of annoyance and hurt I would be feeling at the moment. Of course if the reason for you not appearing on time or at all was genuine then I will forget it like it never happened in a second too. That's just me! I have been telling you from the beginning to be firm. Take out those claws of yours, would you? I don't know what kind of vampire are you who doesn't even know how to be scary.

Its very disappointing. And perplexing because there is no such thing like cute, nice and cuddly vampires. And that is what you are!

I bet Charlie and Leilah are more scary than you.

Man it drives me insane. But what is shocking to me is the amount of people who do it! If it happens once or twice then I wouldn't care but SO MANY people have no common courtesy!

@pinkCardigangirl

well I guess it's a little bit different when there are lots of other people involved like a party. Not everyone comes on time or even at the same time during a big get together.

@VivaLaDani13 I agree. Time is my thing. I always like to arrive early. I don't like people waiting for me. But if it's someone's birthday party, then I'm always an hour late. lol :/

I let people know if you don't come within an hour of when you say you will be here I will not be home. Don't wait on people anymore just let them know you have somewhere you need to be later in the day.

I would be telling them "It's yours until 5 pm and then I'm relisting it again"

@VivaLaDani13 Just add on the bottom "All items will be relisted for sale if the buyer does not collect at the time agreed, or negotiate an alternative collection time".

That's a good idea. I have been thinking of becoming more stern with my posts. Next post I put up, I will say something like that. Thank you.

I can understand your frustration. My brother is always late when we set up a time to meet. Even when he says he needs to be on time because he has to go somewhere afterwards. Then he complains that he's going to be late for his appointment which is apparently more important than meeting me on time. One time he told me he wanted to meet early in the afternoon and we would go to lunch. I figured 12:30—1:00. He didn't show up until 5:00. Yes, he called around 1:30 and said he would be a little bit late.

@VivaLaDani13 Yes, I did say something to him but it was just like talking to a wall. Anymore if my brother says he wants to meet at a certain time I always add 30 minutes. Most of the time when I do that I get there just in time to meet him. There has been only one time that I can remember him calling me and asking where I was. That one time he was on time. Several years ago I was invited to a party. I was told it started at 7 o'clock. I got there 5 minutes after 7 and the woman said, "You're early." Surprised, I said, "It's after 7." She said, "When someone says a party starts at 7 that means it starts between 7:30 and 8." In my book, 7 o'clock means 7 o'clock.

@RichardMeister oh yes the good old wall talking. I know what that's like. Reason why I usually don't bother talking to some people about certain subjects because their faces and / or responses are very dull. Has your brother always been like that? Was he like that when he was a kid? HAHA! I know! I have heard that before too and it is seriously a mystery to me. Common sense to me is arriving at the time that was given to me, not half an hour or so later.

A little late? lol! That is beyond late! Did you say anything to him when he finally showed up? One of my friends is like that. She will give me a time and will ALWAYS be 20 minutes to an hour late. I always start getting ready like picking out clothes, shower, getting dressed etc on the time she said she will be here to pick me up lol Cause I always have plenty of time to screw around before she actually arrives.

This happens here too when we sell stuff through a local FB site. Some stuff we give away but it's like pulling teeth trying to get people to actually turn up and pick up the gear.

@JudyEv lol I know. It's insane. I don't get it. I even give them a chance to pick a time THEY are free to make it more easy for them and they are still late or don't show up.

I can but then I would need to get them to send money to my bank. Which can take a few days sometimes. Then I would also need to make a trip to the post office which makes me lose money since I have to pay for the bus / train to get there. I'd rather not waste any money. It's just easier and a lot quicker for them to grab it soon as they can.
