And here I was thinking I was going to be the only one who didn't commit to things to avoid potential cancellations!

I remember the time me and Kentarou were supposed to go to the zoo and he canceled on me.
I only commit to things I can do. If I get sick I let them know and just tough it out unless they insist I rest. If I am really ill and/or something unavoidable or of supreme import comes up (get this person to the hospital now!) I call, apologize, and reschedule later. These instances are all things that people understand as vastly important and so no feelings are hurt. I'm also pretty flexible, and unless you don't let me know the plans have changed until after I leave for them I'm usually fine. Even if not I'll just be pissed some, but not enough to hold a grudge (the first time).
I went to LA in June and a friend told me he was going to be in the area at the same time, so I scheduled myself for an evening flight home so we could hang out that day. (I was really busy up until that point.) Then the mothersmurfer stopped answering his phone or emails shortly before I left for LA. I ended up hanging around that goddamn airport all day (because that was the only time I could get a ride out there, and the plan had been for this "friend" to give me a ride when we were done hanging out). The day after I got home I got an email from him saying he was so sorry and blah blah blah and his mother had died which was BULL:bou::bou::bou::bou: because his mother died YEARS ago, and I just told him to kiss my ass. I will never speak to him again for that.
EDIT: Hee hee, Umaro
I save people the trouble of canceling on them by not having a social life.
OMG my friend Christine is horrible about this. She always asks to hang out then either forgets or something comes up. I've told her about 20 time to just call or text me if something happens and she never does. She has about a 99 percent unreliable rate. Once she was supposed to take me to my probation, and that's something you can't miss or you could go to jail. Well 2 hours after she was supposed to be at my house I call her like "?" and she goes "Yeah my mom won't let me"...-_-... "really? your mom wont let you take your car that you pay for even though you are the one supporting her? Well if I go to jail and the state takes my daughter away, it's your fault" "Sorry" I was so pissed. Like why couldn't call me so I could get another ride? So the lady ended up having to go way out of her way to make sure I could get all my hours done so I wouldn't go to jail. I may not believe in God but damn the Christians here sure are nice.
I can manage my time wetter, that's not you.
