Yeah we all know the Transit Union are a pack of dirty bastards and there is no use in rehashing it over and over but when I encounter a person with the resources to help and with PROMISES of help and then backs out at the last fucking minute? Over and over and over?? That’s just too much.
So dude, for two days you’ve kept telling me not to worry, not to worry… you’ll pick me up from work. You’ll drop me off at work. You’ll get me where I need to go. Especially since I currently have a wicked-bad case of strep throat. Which I thought was a really nice offer. But then at the last goddamned second “you’re too tired” or you’ve decided to sleep in or you “just don’t feel like it right now.”
Excuse fucking me? YOU OFFERED. I made my day’s plans around your offer. If you can’t do it, I TOTALLY understand but do you know how inconvenient it is to get offer after offer only to have you puss out at the last second? Yesterday I almost didn’t get home from work because you had promised to pick me up, then didn’t show, didn’t answer your phone and didn’t answer your email.
The worst thing about this is that you’re one of those self-righteous people who is constantly telling the rest of the world all about their moral and conscientious failings. You never miss an opportunity to talk about what a good person you are and how you are just so disappointed in how far above society your moral bar rests. When the reality is you’re fickle, lazy, phony, self-righteous and not half the nice person you think you are.
The bottom line is this: Stop offering me rides dude. And stop INSISTING when I politely decline and then having the gall to get OFFENDED when I continue to decline. Don’t get pissy with me because I’m starting to respond to your relative level of reliability. Which is pretty much zero. —Sick of Bullshitters

Nothing pisses people off more than when someone doesn’t respond to phone calls or messages. A person can understand almost every form of communication except silence. Even if he called you after abandoning you at work to tell you he couldn’t pick you up, that’s cool. No contact at all is rude and disrespectful.
Hypocrites are like cockroaches. They’ll never go away.
I can’t wait until this strike is over, for everyone’s sanity.
I stopped reading after your first sentence. OP, you are a dirty fucking bastard.
First off it is probably even past time to just stop interacting with this person and put them in your past. However, if that is not possible (ie: co-worker, roomie, close relative) perhaps when they next go into their ‘Wonder person’ rant and make offers of the sun, moon and rides – just smile, hand them a print out of what you have told the world, and walk away from them. In general the only person you can ever truly fully depend on to look out fully for you is – you. And even that is sometimes open to debate, as people are often known not do what is right for themselves. But at least then we do not have to get bent out of shape at someone else. Easier on the blood pressure that way.
Never rely on anyone but yourself …. I would walk before subjecting myself to the whim of another person and then be beholden to them ,.,…… fuck that shit
this kind of shit brings out the scum, and idiots too. the only way to get this to end, is to lock the 2 sides in a closed room, with no windows, and tell them to fucking make up their minds. oh yeah, a room without a toilet,and plenty of free coffee from timmie’s. if that shit doesn’t go thru them in no time, nothing will.
g.v., i think you got it wrong there, the o.p., is the one that got fucked and hung out to cool their heels, waiting for the no show prick/ette, to come to get them.
i think it was “the dirty bastards” in the first sentence
Great value, I think what op is saying is that they’re being bullied into accepting a charitable act that is then rescinded without warning. Op (clearly) said that this person makes an offer, gets upset if op doesn’t take them up on this offer, op builds their day around this plan and then the person fucks off and leaves them stranded.
It’s why i read everything.
OP.. i agree with what everyone has said. Don’t rely on this person because you can’t rely on this person. They won’t offer to help if they don’t know you need the help so just don’t share your life with them anymore. Put them on the no-fly list.
And similarly, don’t do them any favours either. A time will come when the tables are turned. And i’m suspecting nobody is going to be lining up to help them.
as in… they be no-fly
they is wiggidy wiggidy whack!
Thank you, Kris-Kross. lol

I’m jumping already…
and wearing crotchless panties backwards is not quite as uncomfortable as I would have thought.
Strep throat doesn’t affect your ability to walk OB.
So get up off your ass & get moving.
