People can be REALLY self-centered. Just because you don't drop everything to accommodate them, they get angry. I don't like games...I don't fall for guilt trips...I don't like drama!
Person: I know its only 24 hour notice but can you come over tomorrow to celebrate (insert YOUR life achievement)?
Me: Sorry, can't. We wont be available tomorrow
Person: Why?
Me: Um well we have plans.
Person: What is more important than celebrating your (Insert the thing).
Me: We are going to (Insert a REALLY fun thing) and have had tickets for over a month.
Person: Okay, what about the next day?
Me: We aren't available until later in the evening
Person: What? Why?
Me: Husband has work
Person: *said very snidely* I thought he wasn't going to have to work as much on the weekends
Me: He doesn't...he has a schedule...if I had more than a 48 hour notice we could have figured something out. What about the day after that?
Person: Oh we have plans. Guess we will just celebrate YOUR (Insert the thing) without you.
Me: Okay if you must
I don't do well with games. Look, I am sorry I have a life and whatnot but if you give me more than a 24 hour notice we can probably figure something out. And yes I know it has been a CRAZY couple of weeks. But why be a jerk about it?!?! We are busy and if you are going to be an @$$ I don't want to go anyway *raspberry*.
