…that you can’t or won’t keep. Unless, of course, you want to get on the Fast Track To Pissing Me Off.
Seriously. How stupid does a person have to be to understand that if you do something such as…accept an invitation somewhere, you’re expected to show up? Do people just randomly go around accepting invitations nowadays? If you wouldn’t do it IRL, why do it online? I always decline invitations to events I know I can’t attend. But then, I was raised right. I’m just going to have to accept that some people have little to no “home training.”
Honestly, if you sign up to participate in something and then don’t show up and never bother to offer an explanation, do NOT act all shocked when I refuse to take you again. Especially if it’s a situation where nine other people are counting on you being there. If you stand up my raids and you do not have the decency to explain yourself or you have a dumbass excuse, all you’re going to do is land squarely on my Shit List.
Gah! This is why we should decline to accept anyone under the age of 25 into our guild in general. Children cannot be relied on, cannot empathize with those of us who have to work full time because Mommy and Daddy don’t pay our rent/food/transport/insurance/medical/children’s/childcare/etc bills for us, and just generally are immature. Yes, there are the odd exceptions to that rule but, in general, someone who is only 18 is going to be much more likely to be an inexperienced immature fuckwit than someone who is 28. Ten years of life and several years of working at a real job DOES make a difference.
