How much of a zero do you have to be to just flake on people? No notice, no anything, just don't show.

I mean on things like one on one meetings and dinners, not just parties (parties are understandable, unless it’s a very good friend). How have you gotten this far in life?

And the funny thing is most of times with flakes THEY ARE THE ONE WHO SET UP THE MEETING/DINNER/HAPPY HOUR IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Like most people, flaking is the kiss of death for any type of relationship, business or casual, and the only flake permanently in my life is my sister, and as we live several thousand miles apart, I don’t have to put up with it that much. Still, it’s annoying as hell when it happens.

My ex-Fiancées (she wasn't "ex" at the time.) Sister would set up these dinner parties, where she would get together about 20+ people . She would do this about 4 times a year. Joanna knew some very wealth people. One woman is the publisher of "Carolina Bride" magazine.

We would go to Providence Café, or the Pewter Rose, etc. When it came time to pay, 1/2 of them only had credit cards and the other 1/2 only had "large bills". The restaurants didn't split up the bills because no one asked them to. Their friends didn't want it either, because no one wanted to pay for all the bottles of wine that were ordered. So the Fiancée "volunteered" me to pay for everything and they would pay me back. "Our friends are good for it." (Of course no one ever did.)

After the second time (I asked for separate checks) and still got stuck with 1/2 the meals! (Thanks to the fiancée volunteering me again!) I quit going. This pissed the fiancée off BIG TIME. F her!

My wifes friend consistently is hours late or a no show to things they plan - even if they plan it to happen in an hour.

She's an old HS friend that is going through the ringer currently and my wife does not want to really address it, but holy hell it gets on my last nerve. Punctuality and communication about wheres and whens are two of my pet peeves.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
