Well yesterday thoroughly sucked!
I bought plane tickets for someone I thought was a friend to come vist. She was to arrive yesterday and leave tomorrow.
Apparently she went out partying Thusday night and so overslept and missed her train to the airport, thus missing her 1:45 PM flight, which didn't actually leave until 2:43 PM. Stuff happens and I did get my feelings hurt a bit that she didn't make it enough of a priority to make the flight.
BUT WHAT PISSES ME OFF! ....is that she;
a) never called to tell me that she missed her train and wasn't going to make the flght (so I spent more than 2 hours at the airport waiting for her late flight, only to have to ask the airline long after the flight had arrived if she had boarded the flight, not to mention travel time, time I took out from my workday, and parking fees)
b) That it toook several calls and 5 hours on my part (trying to find out if she was ok) to find out from her brother that she had overslept.
c) That 28 hours have passed since she missed the flight and she still has yet to call me to even let me know she is alive.
Guess I should make this my "Most humbling moment". Certainly it is one that made me feel heinously used.
Am I being unreasonable?

propbos:
That does suck and count as a most humbling moment. I think the worst part is that she still hasn't called to let you know what happened. Yes, she's gonna say she was too embarrased to call. DON'T believe it. Sad to say, your feelings are probably right: she didn't care enough about you to: make the flight - to call and say she missed it - or to call and apologize. I've been there - walk away. The pain gets worse if you don't.
