I've known several people like that. Some of them are solipsists who just don't care about anyone that isn't them. That's bad but at least it is consistent. If you have progressed beyond "casual friends" to "in a relationship" it tends to be more a matter of focus. They don't pull that poo poo for people they care about but when it is your friends or something you want to do there is always something that ends up coming up to delay it/make it not happen. Either way, dude ended a bad relationship and is better for it.

AITA for kicking stepmom’s son out of my bedroom and ruining Christmas?quote:I (20f) am studying at college in a different state and returned to my dad’s home for Christmas. My mom passed away when I was 8. Dad remarried when I was 15 and my stepmom moved in with us. Her son, “David” (30m), was already living on his own so he didn’t need a bedroom in our house. I want to get drunk with the Grandparents.

Like if that house is his temporary residence because he was mooching off his gf and has no way to live on his own then it really only makes sense they would give him the room rather than just having him sleep on a couch while maintaining an extra empty room for decorum's sake.

She explicitly agreed that it made sense for him to use her room, she just wanted to be able to have it back for the Christmas break, which her stepmom initially agreed to.

AITA for complimenting a cashier?quote:My sister thinks I’m the ah but I’m confused as to how I would be. I was buying a bagel on thursday and noticed that the cashier was rather pretty. She had a tattoo so she was probably at least 18, she looked around 19-20. After I made the order, I complimented her saying “you know that you’re gorgeous right?” And to my shock, she gave me a blank stare and she looked kind of disgusted. I tried to make conversation with her as I own boats and asked her if she had ever been on one, etc, and she told me “you’re done with your order right? I think we’re done here.” She didn’t even give me a thank you. And she gave me a nasty look. I really don’t think i was crude or nasty with my compliment and her reaction was shocking. I told my sister about it and she said that it was weird for me to give any sort of compliment on a girls looks considering that I’m 58, but I wasn’t flirting with her I was just complimenting her. She then proceeded to tell me that I shouldn’t make comments like that to workers because they’re in a awkward situation. AITA for complimenting a cashier?

It could be just an avoidant behavior that she NEEDS the scarf she didn't care about until after the last second, but it could be some other mental issue like OCD or something manifesting, too. Either way: he's better off without her in the long run.

It's also a dick move to call and cancel rides. Those people are driving towards you wasting gas and time, so canceling unless it's a real emergency is just loving with them for no reason. Get your scarf and then call.

I have a friend who is late all the time and has lost friends over it, her excuse was that she didn't know it was bad because nobody told her Obviously people had told her, but she didn't stop and just kinda kept doing it and repeating that nobody told her it was bad. We're not talking about people who can be reasoned with here, take it for what it is and don't get into a relationship with them

If you can't or don't care about literally everyone being angry and on edge and making contingency plans on your behalf, I must imagine empathy ends at the front gate for you. Like, being held up for something important or missing something you looked forward to is something you experience first at preschool age, that should be the easiest situation to put yourself in someone else's shows.

This woman, whether she knows it or not, is doing this poo poo as a power move. After all, couldn't she just look for the scarf later? Someone who is considerate of others would prioritize being on time and not wasting a Lyft driver's time.

My brother-in-law is an infuriatingly tardy person when it comes to actually leaving - one year he managed to gently caress around so much on the morning they were supposed to fly home, they ended up missing a transatlantic flight  . He'd be up packing until 3-4 in the morning they were leaving too.Ever since, it's like a family/team effort to eject him from the house at least several hours before their flight time.

Someone who is considerate of others would prioritize being on time and not wasting a Lyft driver's time. I don’t think it’s a conscious thing. My youngest sister is a much much milder version of this but yes it is extremely annoying. Maybe growing up my mom would always make us hurry up and wait and she just ingrained that pattern as some sort of quiet rebellion. It’s just kinda accepted in our family now that if you don’t have your poo poo together on time you have to get your own ride, nobody really gets too upset about it.

Evil Willow posted:AITA for complimenting a cashier? More from boat guy: quote:True and she was honestly incredibly rude, didn’t smile at me, didn’t say thank you. She wasn’t even model material so she probably should have been more appreciative of my compliment. I totally believe his compliment was innocent and sincere given that he immediately went to trashing her looks once she rejected his attention. Also, what's up with this guy thinking his boats are a big deal? Nobody cares that you spent too much money to go putter around on the lake couple of times a month, grandpa. (I grew up at a rural marina where our customers ranged from huge, swanky yachts to working class people who fished and hunted to put extra food on the table. So while my meter for this kind of thing is off, it's always funny to me when dudes like OP get braggy about their boats.)

I have some friends who I can count on always being a little late and in the age of google maps and smart phones it's fine. Within reason, of course. Getting a text that says "Running a little late, ETA 7:15" when you were planning to meet at seven is no big deal to me, but I'd probably get annoyed waiting longer/if they blew off some time-sensitive event we'd been planning on. Of course that's very different from blowing money on uber rides you never take and wasting everyone's time, especially those poor drivers. I think that if you're constantly coming up with excuses not to leave on time the real issue is that you don't actually want to go out at all. On a side note I knew someone who was chronically *early* a lot, and that was way more stressful than people showing up a little late. I think it was some sort of obnoxious power-move thing, showing up at my house up to forty minutes earlier than we'd agreed on.
