Be Prepared!

This is going to be a really quick rant.

Here's the scenario:

You have plans with your friends, you've known for a week, you know what time you're meeting them and you know how much everything is going to cost.

What you do:

For starters, you're late. This is unacceptable because I'm ALREADY late and yet you're still not ready so you make ALL OF US WAIT FOR YOUR SLOW ASS. We find parking but the only way to pay is by phone and you need a credit card but woops! You forgot it. Guess who has to step up to the plate? Surprise! ME! But guess what, that's not going to fly because I don't want my credit card attached to your license plate number. So now we have to move the car after we drove around several times trying to find a parking space. Then, you conveniently say you don't have any money on you when we have to buy tickets for the event. You "hope" they take "debit card" which is totally ridiculous for the event we are attending. OF COURSE THEY DON'T. Then, you inconvenience us all because you a) weren't considerate enough to make sure you were prepared and b) make us ALL wait outside in the cold so that YOU can go to the bank machine.

Maybe I'm just hyper sensitive about this kind of shit, especially since everyone in Mexico pretty much carries cash all the time and I never had to deal with this bullshit down there. But you KNOW you're going somewhere that will cost you money. WHY WHY WHY can't you guys get it together and make sure you have a little bit of money on you, plus your debit card, plus a credit card? It's called preparation and back-up. I has it. You needs to gots it too!

It's not my job to wait around because of your piss poor planning, nor is it my job to drop you at a bank machine and wait around, nor is it my job to lend you money, nor is it my job to have to pay for parking because you suck.

Got it?

GOOD!

Unprepared people irritate the smack out of me. Seriously, right out of the gate, the late thing just drives me crazy. I got used to it in Mexico because that's just the way it is, but here? Unacceptable. Especially when going to an event. And no cash? What are your lame excuses? I don't want to hear it. If I can be ready and prepared and on time, why can't you? It's a sign of disrespect to me. And I pretty much drop friends that don't have any respect.

Clan Lady - No entiendo either.

JJ - You sound just as angry as I was when I wrote this. This makes me happy. :) Thank you for sharing!
