Day 17 – Schedule

  • 맛집영어 영어수강 영어교재 이미지



  • My friend Harvey and I made plans to meet each other for lunch today. We planned to meet outside at 12pm. I waited for him about an hour, but he never showed up. I tried calling him many times, but he didn’t pick up. I had to skip lunch and come back home since he never showed up and my mom was telling me to come home. He finally called me back after two hours to cancel our plans. He said that he came down with a flu and forgot about our appointment. He asked if it would be possible to reschedule lunch next week. I felt bad about him, but I was annoyed. Waiting this long for him to cancel suddenly really tests my patience with him. He has a habit of forgetting plans and then suddenly canceling them. I don’t think it is right to make an appointment with someone, only to cancel them suddenly.

    I think it is bad manners to cancel an appointment after it has been made if there isn’t a good reason. Getting sick is a good reason to cancel, don’t get me wrong. But usually people can feel if they are about to get sick. They start showing symptoms and they know they should stay home. Also, if a person has a habit of canceling appointments made with friends, then the friends will begin to stop inviting that person. Similar to my situation, my friend wants to change the meeting date and time, but I don’t trust that they will show up. And I don’t want to waste more time waiting for this person.

    It usually takes time and effort to meet friends. Getting ready in the morning, going to the meeting place, deciding what to do and making sure there are no other appointments that day takes a lot of time. So I am a little annoyed that my friend did not respect my time and did what he wanted to do. What do you think about your friend canceling plans suddenly because they are feeling sick?
