I really hope nobody's mother has died.
I don't think I have made an excuse. Actually, I kind of did. Someone asked me to meet on a certain day, I didn't think she was serious. Turned out she was - initially I tried to make up an excuse, but just owned it and apologised. I regretted that, quite the error. |

People have cancelled on us a couple of times. Their reasons always seemed genuine. Given the number of people who complain about being stood up I would think any excuse is better than just not turning up |

Can’t say I’ve ever made an excuse. I’ve always attended any meets
It’s worse when there’s no excuse to me. Like I’ve gone to ones where they’ve bottled it and I’ve been outside knocking and they message and say “sorry” or just no communication at all… waste of my time and theirs |

Hasn’t happened here to us but all I can think when reading your post is that people that are cop outs will pick such an excuse that’d make you look like the dick if you tried to query them about it. No win situation I’d say, cos guaranteed, the one and only time you’d cast a shadow of doubt over it, it’d turn out to be the truth!!!! |

Oh I was expecting this to be reasons to skip work 
Which I rang in sick for with a stomach bug because I blew the turbo and couldn’t get in 
In my return to work my boss asked if I sought medical advice and quickly added no but the car did
It’s good to have a good boss |

My problem there is that I'm my own boss, and I don't take any of my bullshit. |

If you’re agreeing to meet people who are parents with school age children, you also agreeing to be understanding that unplanned things happen all the time, especially when someone has more than one child, often in different schools.
Can’t comment on the other situations but I did personally cancel many times because of the unexpected circumstances.
