tall order

Is it that much to ask to have someone show up when they say they will? I mean i know that as humans we are inherently selfish, but holy cow this is ridiculous.

Miss M and i have been hunting for a new roommate now since the beginning of January. We got stuck with basement dweller for longer than we thought as he just wouldn’t leave, but now that he’s out we can’t seem to get anyone else in! People seem to be really interested in the ad and we have had at least 6 people make appointments to come by and see the space….and then no-one shows up.

This. This i just don’t understand. They have my contact details and i have theirs….but of course no-one answers the phone when its 30 minutes past the time they were meant to be there. It’s not a huge deal, but it IS a big waste of my time and Miss M’s.

Ugh. I guess i just don’t understand how difficult it is for someone to say ‘hey! sorry about this, but i found somewhere else to move so i won’t be coming by’. Not a big deal…but it certainly stops us from hanging around waiting for someone who is never going to show up. I think it just comes down to common courtesy…something that a LOT of people i’ve come in contact with recently, seem to be lacking.

Well…we have someone else “coming to look at the space” tomorrow. Fingers crossed that they show up.

Wee-b is convinced that the basement dweller cursed the basement space ;-)
