i'm known for flaking? haha. cuz i don't show up for some gigs a few people call me a flaker. got a life outside of this and not everything i do revolves around this place. some people just need to get over it and quit being butt hurt about it.

i'll flake on the non important stuff and people need to just get over it. If you ever ask my friends and family, i'm ALWAYS there when they need me and when i commit to the bigger and more important things in life, i pull through and i'm always there. First there, last to leave. The irony that i'm "known" for flaking. My good friends will definitely tell you otherwise.

 

Flaking in general is just a matter of being inconsiderate. If you commit to something or someone, then someone has to make accommodation expecting you to be there or make time in their schedule. When you flake, your basically saying, "Sorry, but I've got something better to do".

Of course there are degrees of flaking. Take for example, flaking on bball with a bunch of friends. It doesn't really matter than much because it's not like anyone went out of their way, but if you flake on say someone's dinner party, well that's pretty rude. That person purchased food/drinks (spent money) expecting you to be there.

We all have stuff comes up from time to time, so flaking sometimes can't be help, but if you have there reputation of being a flaker, then it's not because you flake from time to time.

Just so no one takes this the wrong way, this was a general statement and not directed towards anyone in particular.

 

ie, the important stuff.

flaking on the non chalant stuff, people need to get over that.

 

But who's to decide that's important, the person flaking or the one being flaked on?

 

That is some funny shit. Let me sign up for everything because I might make it if nothing else comes up.

I must be lifeless since I have respect for S2Ki people.


I'd be surprized if you get invited to anything.

errr, when did B-ball turn into a thread on "FLAKING"?

I think what Kristine is trying to say is that we all have a life outside of s2ki and certain events such as this b-ball is not such a big deal if you don't show up....

I agree that in mass events such as this b-ball it's no biggie but if you are not going to go, then why not just say you can't make it period?

We do a lot of parties and big events and almost all good friends always show up - reason being it's IMPORTANT to them. If we see people flake twice after saying they will come, we will stop inviting them next time since it gets old to keep asking and getting blown off.

We all have priorities in life but our word should also count for something....

This has nothing to do with families or friends but whether we respect one another to keep our word. I can name 10 friends right now off the top of my head that if they say they will come, I know they will unless some act of god....haha
