50%
That's the percentage of bottoms who actually show up.
That has been my percentage for the past 2 years. Sadly kind of like a golf handicap or bowling average.
It happened again tonight, although this one just seemed to think that a message at 12:30AM makes up for not standing by a commitment to meet at 10PM. It's 2AM now and I'm still steamed.
I wonder where these guys are playing? There must be an abundance of Tops if they can just jack us around. I take an invitation to play as a serious thing -- an appointment that deserves all professional courtesy. Heck, just good manners would be nice.
I usually demand to meet at a bar first. That way I can salvage the evening with friends if I get stood up. I thought the one tonight was mature enough to not need this step...
...I guess I was wrong.
