______________________________________________
Last week, my friends and I planned to get together on Saturday for much needed practice on a group of songs we wanted to play. We decided on Thursday, but the day we planned they called to say they can't go (no driver, or other plans, etc.). Monday I spoke to them to make another plan for today, they must come (as we have made plans for a week, constantly reminded, made sure everything was in order so they could go) or we will not play the songs we wanted to play for the next school-operated show.
Of course they didn't come. After telling them several times to ask their parents, my lead guitarist's father arbitrarily decided to take him to see Avatar "as a family". Ok then, 3 hours I heard it was and it was noon where I heard about it so I thought we could practice after they finish. 6 o'clock and no word, I became pissed. We will not play the Abbey Road medley and at this moment he is at an ice rink with other friends who planned to go together.

Other history where this guy was unreliable is that the last time we actually practiced, he didn't know any songs. And the only way he actually started learning the songs I told him to learn was when I had to call him an "unreliable bastard", which kicked him into temporary reliability mode.
Am I being too hard, or is he really unreliable and I should ditch him?

Here's the questions for you nonreaders and readers alike:

When a plan has been made, are you one to make sure you stick to it or desert it once you realize at the last minute that Fallout 4 or CoD7 or whatever has just come out the day the plan was made?

How often are you deserted? How often do you desert?
What is your favorite thing about dessert?

The plan? You mean 'Don't run out of HP, live'? I honor that plan.

Cookie for reference.

I was in a band during high school, unfortunately our lead guitarist was tragically named "Commitment Sam." Every time we had a gig, BAM! He's out of town for some fucked up reason.

Ditch, him. Tell him if he can't be consistent coming to practice w/e he obviously doesn't want to do it.

I always make plans for people to be at the train station at this time etc but they end up missing the train because they thought I had the times wrong and things like that.

I have never been deserted or deserted anyone if we are already out, if they aren't there on time I will wait 5mins then phone them then I forget about them.

I like how no matter much you have for your main course you always have enough room for desert:D

I stick to the plan as best I can. I get deserted all the time though...sometimes for no reason at all.

Tell him straight out that he's being a jerk and that he can go fuck right off.

Me, I try to stick to the plan. But if I don't stick to the plan, I want you to know that it was because that was part of the plan. *now your head explodes*

For some reason, when I make plans with someone, those plans very rarely come to fruition. If I make plans to hang out with friends, they just got called into work, their girlfriend is over, etc.

Funny thing is, this sort of thing happens even when people ask favours of me. For example, one of my friends asked me to give him a ride (we live very close to each other and we both needed to go to the same place). I tell him what time I'm leaving. He acknowledges it, but when it's time for me to leave, he doesn't show up. I even wait for a minute or two, then decide "screw it, I'm gone."

The next time he asks me for a ride, he makes absolutely no mention of the previous event.

I always stick to the plan and get pissed when "something comes up" conviniently the day that said plan was going to take effect.

Thats when i say to yet to be named plan skipped "Pics or it didnt happen".

If i have plans i stick to em, unless something more important comes up.

And BTW, a new game isnt more important then friendship, so if CoD7 came out id still go over said friends house or go to said game or whatever, anyway i would have already pre-ordered it and had it delived to my door.

Nobody these days knows how to keep their word, especially on the West Coast.

Growing up back East, if someone said they were gonna be somewhere, their word was their bond.

Incidentally, I live in the East Coast. So there may be some stragglers of nonkeepers-of-the-word left.

It's the first thing I can find when I type in "exploding head". I know there is a moving one, though I can't remember where to find it.

Some pages of Uncyclopedia maybe?

I got my zombie survival plan taped to the underside of my desk, I dunno about you but I'm sure going to stick to it. My brain's to important to be eaten.

Incidentally, I just lost the game.
