I really dislike people who flake out on me. That's what phones/computers are for. It's not that hard to let someone know when plans change. It's common courtesy. ugh

The fact that that anon usually tries to bug me about breaking up with link is completely silent after I call out that 3 people from Nevada were on my blog. Like take you and whatever possy you have off of my blog B)

Flakey Flakes Unite

Hi. My name is Olga and I'm a flake. Only sometimes though, and I can stop when I want to so it's not that big of a deal, alright?  It all started when I became super popular and everyone wanted to hang out with me. Sorry for partying.

Not buying it? Yeah ok, ok. I'm not either.

Realistically though, I think we're all flakes.  According to a very credible site (Urban Dictionary) the definition of flake is as follows:

Flake (verb, oftenly used with "out") - To decide not to go at the last second; To "ditch" or "bail out."

Sentence: "Hey Olga, you said you were really excited to come with me to North Dakota and help volunteer clean diapers at my grandma's nursing home, but you flaked out. What gives?!"

Alright, that may or may not be a made up example but you get my drift don't you, kids?

Let me give some credit where it's due and say that when it comes to important things, I am the epitome of personal responsibility. I'm that student that reads all of the chapters assigned for class and that employee that just can't bring herself to say I did something when I didn't, even though no one would know the difference.  Over-acheiver or masochist? You be the judge.

In all honesty, I think that my generation (the oh-so-retail and market profitable Millennials) is made up of a bunch of flakes because we grew up with so many different outlets to reach out to people and with many ways to cancel on those same people.  How easy is it to say "maybe" to a Facebook event or even "yes" and then not show up? No confrontation? No problem!  

We can text friends last minute or even email them to say we're not going to show or that something came up. In certain cases, we can ignore messages all together and claim we never received them (you know you've done this, so don't you even shake your head at me).  Think about it, we've become non-confrontational passive aggressive people who spend excessive amounts of time socializing online.  Yet still, you find those nit-wits that can't tell the difference between "their" and "there". Oy vey, more on that later.

In my case, I just honest to G don't have the dang time. I work nights and a lot of my friends have big girl/boy jobs so when happy hours or weekend outings get planned I have to bail and people get annoyed or quit inviting me to things (please don't, I like being your friend, I promise!).

Anywho, here's a challenge for everyone.  Try canceling on someone in person, or hey, better yet...not at all.  I'll try if you will, just don't expect me to clean diapers.  'Til next time.

i hate it when a guy you like tells you they will hang out with you but in the last minute the bail out on you.
