The " last minute " people.

I am sure everyone had encountered "last minute" situations. However, i will just be focusing on last minute changes as i am guessing this is what most of us can relate to. i am also particularly sensitive to such issues as it can be really annoying at times.

Last minute changes, something which i hate the most and must learn to accept. In what kind of scenario does this always happens? Outings. Friends outings, class outings all sorts of outings. E.g, when the class agreed on a date and place to go, one person will say they CMI (Can't make it) and some how this will trigger a chain reaction and end up 5 or 7 people CMI. In the end, outing got postponed and then forgotten. Not only class outings, friends outings also have such issues. No offence but ladies are often the ones who trigger the chain reaction. Of course some guys as well.

So why? i guess most of you will know. My best friend not going i will feel awkward so i am not going too or this particular person i want to meet not going so i CMI too. Well,  but aren't we in the same class or clique of friends together? Don't we all know each other? So why awkward? okay, never mind, these are just my personal opinion. However, sometimes when people say CMI and the excuses they give is just too unreal. E.g: I got flu. I got headache. My family visiting relatives. My parents don't let me go out. etc. I mean come on, it is very easy to tell whether you are lying or not. What is worst is that some people expose themselves on the social network. I mean, friends right? Why do this kind of hypocritical things? If you really don't want to go, just say don't want. Yes it can sound rude but i rather you tell the truth than to lie.

Finally, i think it all boils down to a person's responsibility and commitment. If we already promise someone to go out, we should stick to that promise. Yes, there is always last minute things that pops out randomly but just don't lie about it. It is really obvious that someone is lying. Furthermore, it shows how important you are as a friend to the person. It is very simple for us to say CMI but is hard for the other party. Firstly, the excitement to an outing will all turn into disappointment. Secondly, his  day is ruin as he can do better things instead of an outing but because of last minute changes, he have nothing to do. So people, think twice before you promise others something and when you really do, stick to it. Is a form of respect to other people and is also a responsibility issue. So do what the picture says.

All these are just my personal opinions. no right or wrong :)

Cheerzup!
