I have always believed that it is a good thing to let people know what is going on..and if plans need to change to let people be aware of the situation...it's only right, and I have always considered it incredibly rude of people not to do especially if you are doing something to help them. It is exceptionally rare that I do not let people know of a change of circumstance.
There is some I know (we shall call them...Bloody Annoying) who will ask me if I will be in for the day so I can help them with various bits and bobs. I will say yes and clear my day (or half day..not that much happens in the typical day at Yam Towers) and make sure that I'm not doing anything.
Sometimes, Bloody Annoying will come over, we will have a good day/half day and most of the things help is wanted with is sorted out, and they go home happy...to be fair no matter what we do they go home happy which is always nice.
Which is what is so frustrating...
You most of the time, they don't bother to turn up....which means that I am waiting around for nothing. No calls or texts to explain that they are not going to bother to arrive....and if they have run out of credit on their cell phone they could get someone to send me a message via Facebook Twitter or email to let me know.
I think it is down right rude.....and just Bloody Annoying.
I'd be furious! I hate people asking for your time then wasting it!! Next time - say 'no'!!!
ReplyDeleteUsually I would...but when they are family, makes it a tad difficult!
