Flakers suck!

[Shukuda]

What's with the mentality of these people? You have an agreement upon something and they just bail out? Make up your damn mind before comitting. Christ, have some decency to follow through.

I drove out 50 minutes to meet and look at a used car and the dude doesn't want to show up. One other guy lists his car OBO but once we were there, the fucker won't let us look or touch the car unless we buy the car upfront because he is an "experienced salesman".:rolleyes:

Then you go out your way to sell an item, especially giving them a hell of a deal, and end up with no response. Worst when you're holding an item for a buyer with a waitlist only to have everyone on the list bail and then the buyer no longer interested. I like the ones with balls who repeatedly contacts you about an item but flake out on every deal.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

you drove 50 minutes to look at a used car, only to get shafted D: !?

the irony is too painful... :shake:

Flakers FtHREEPEAT!!!

[Reveal]

Yeha, that blows. I thought the thread was going to be about women who flake.
I was 'dating' thisone girl who had a bad habit of canceling dates and what noyt. Well, this one time, we were supposed to go to the movies. We were supposed to meet up there, and I called her before I left the house just to make sure she was going to be there. She said yeah. So I arrive at the theater and I'm waiting around. 5 minutes pass. No show. Ten minutes pass, and I get a call. She tells me she can't make it because she has to pick her dad up from work because he has a migraine. Good lord, words cannot describe how mad I was.
No amount of stairs would do that incident justice.

You should put "(NOT ABOUT THE LAKERS)" in the title

what kind of car was it?

[fistoftheryustar]

you realize flaking is not something alot of ppl learn growing up as a thing that is extremely disrespectful. its something most ppl find on their own.

i used to be a flaker. i have a few friends who otherwise, would be perfect friends, but they avoid following through and talk alot, while talk is cheap.

also the act of committing and being a man of your word...actually just makes you more manly...attacking ur problems head on. i never realized that.

but some ppl are all about honoring their word. some ppl have some other goal and think they make up for it with being really nice otherwise. they know they are flaking they dont know that its a low thing to do

[Seijuro-HIko]

Ahhh flakers. They're the reason why I don't believe anything that comes out of peoples mouths now and days. As far as I'm concerned, anything a person say's they're gonna do is a lie. Unless they prove me otherwise by doing it.

[epp1e]

I got flaked on three times in the same night by the same girl last month. We were supposed to grab dinner & a movie and we planned it out well ahead of time. She calls me around 2 hours before and says she's not hungry enough to go eat dinner so let's just watch a movie. Then, she calls me around 30 minutes before to say she's not in the mood to go to the movie theater & that she'd rather just watch a movie at my place. Then, she shows up an hour late & we begin watching a movie. 20 minutes or so later, she starts saying shit about being tired and that she thinks she should go home sleep. A call comes in & she takes it IN FRONT OF ME and says "Oh? Who else is going to be there? Yeah I'll see you there!". For whatever fucking reason, she sticks with the going home to sleep story even though she said this shit in front of me.

For all 2 of you who follow my posts, this is indeed the girl who I ditched to raid on WoW a year ago. I guess she's having her fun getting revenge on me.

[fistoftheryustar]

^ girl - guy flaking is some extra level shit.

i usually equate most kinds of flaking in the same bunch. but dating kind of flaking is to me what goes around most commonly. girls flake a lot bc they give a number just to be nice, dont really know if they like a guy, or gave the number while she was drunk. guys flake bc they met up with another hot girl or just as an act to try to show the girl he has other options (The fake bad boy approach.)

i dont often get flaked on in the typical sense of the word. its not bc im so special, but im just lucky. that is why i find other personality traits worse than flaking.


TC what did u say to the guy after? How do u guys respond to flakers?

[majeh]

this thread could also be perceived as a discussion for frosted flakes.

on topic - dealing with flakers is easy, you make them feel like shit and then they make up for it. that only works for people you know though.

[alchemist78]

I make it a point to not flake on ppl I know or at least have a direct impact on my life or reputation, otherwise, meh better you than me.

[Luciano Leone]

I flaked the flakers.. fuck em.

Just excommunicate the parasites (people detrimental) out of your life and focus on gaining assets (people beneficial to you). That's how you build and maintain a crew of reliable people.

I know a girl who did the same thing to me. We weren't even dating, but I still find it really rude to just up and cancel what you're doing with someone to go chill with a different group of people.

[Black Chanler]

This is how you handle flakers:

With the first flake you gotta have them try to make up for it (with girls, make that bitch bake cookies). Naturally they are going to give you a lot of slack like "something came up, blah blah" and sometimes shit do happen. But you gotta put them in check HARD after the 2nd flake, even if you aren't extremely pissed I still would recommend you willin' the fuck out. If you do that, I guarantee you they won't flake on you anymore.


With the OP's situation, try to talk the price down for having you do all that driving. Or have him compensate for the gas.

[DropKick Murphy]

i thought you was talking about dandruff. yeah flakers suck ass. its always some bullshit reason too

[tech master]

i hate flakers. my homegirl once tried to flake out on a Tahoe trip the day before. I went with her shoppin the day before, she didnt know what to buy so she didnt want to go anymore! we were renting a cabin too, so that would have resulted in people having to drop more loot on the shit. People that flake in situations like that make me mad.

[fistoftheryustar]

I knew a girl who met a "cool crowd" one summer and all of a sudden she did the above but to her best friends. It's like...really? Thats how it is?

[NewGen]

passive aggressiveness is bullshit. all flakers should just die...or quit being passive aggressive. so called friends who flake are worse than women because you expect more out of them. if people flake on me, i just don't call anymore.

needless to say i don't call very many people....:)

[.Free.]

if people flake on me, i just don't call anymore.

needless to say i don't call very many people....:)yep one flake is enough for me...if a person flaked out on me once i wouldn't want to associate with that person at all. Guess im just mean but i really don't like flakers

[Satomiblood]

I had a girl tell me she couldn't hang out with me because she had to wash her hair.

[J-ride]

Women flake so hard these days, that I have gotten to the point that I won't even make plans with a girl one on one anymore, at all. I'll tell her what I am doing on X night, and if she flakes, I don't really care that much because I didn't make plans with her anyway. Then if they try and make plans with me a second time I will act really skeptical of them showing up and will laugh at all the nonsense they spew about not being like other girls. They will usually show up after this, just so they can prove to me how different and special they are, but honestly it is absolutely ridiculous. Women flaking is to be expected, but when a man flakes or goes back on his word, that just really pisses me off. As a man, I your word should actually mean something, at least that is what my dad taught me. A man's word is his bond and you should never go back on it.

Dealing with Flakers is easy. Just don't like Fkobe get the ball, or put your whole defense on him.

to me, this sounds like you didn't do your job. She rc'd dinner and the movie for you, to end up at your place. That's guaranteed ass that you didn't press up on judging from the story.

Sounds like an accurate assessment to me.

[Darklightjg1]

People sometimes get caught up in some situations where they have a legit reason to cancel their plans with you. If they at least have the decency to let me know beforehand so I don't get stuck waiting up, then it's easier to forgive. The less time and money wasted, the less I care that shit's been canceled.

However, if some stupid broad is trying to blow me off... well fuck that. There's only one way to do that properly. Any other method is grounds for automatic stairs.
