On being polite

I hate people who keeps on saying "yes" and then not show up! Worst, not even a phone call to say "sorry, can't make it tonight." Why are people like that? They are so inconsiderate of the people who invited them. You are allowed to say "no" you know? Nobody's going to force you to do something that you don't want to do. You don't even have to give an excuse. Just say "no, I will not be able to make it on that day." It's as simple as that!

If you are like that, then let me tell you this -- you will end up not being invited to any gathering/parties for the rest of your life! Or if I'm the host, I will never include you in my guest list - ever!

Gotta get ready, going to have lunch with some friends... we'll see who said "yes" and then not show up [again]...
