Fair Weather Farewell

profundisI like to think of myself as a pretty friendly guy, someone who will at least entertain a civil conversation with a stranger, no matter how strange (come on, I'm a big pal of Danger Woman, so I know from strange). Unless you're flat out rude, creeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy lecherous or hateful, I can hold actual human interaction with you and maybe even be a pal to you - or more, who knows?! That's the wonder of people, eh? You never know where the road will lead next.
Because I like to think of myself as a primarily good person, I even give people credit - doing things for them that other people would likely shy away from because they don't want to get any drama on them, or aren't getting any booty from them so why should they care, or just don't feel like they know them well enough to be bothered. A lot of these people speak and show their gratitude for my help and support, and while that's not really the goal, it sure is nice when it happens.
But maybe I make a seat at the table a little too readily for some folks - maybe I should start putting people on the list and make them wait to be seated 'cause lately I've had a snootful of flakes, phoneys, no-call-no-show dickheads, "one-word-wonders", and people that seem all too ready to call me on the carpet when they should have been asking what was the matter and letting me know that they had my back - you know...reciprocating my friendship.
Well suckaz, if you ain't representin', you best be steppin' cause I'm over it.
If you can't be bothered to pony up when its your turn, don't let the door hitcha where the Good Lord splitcha.
*remove contact, delete pal, remove friend from list, delete selected contact, rinse, repeat*
Corollary: If you feel like I've not returned your kindness or expressed my concern/gratitude when you've helped me - please do bring it to my attention so I can remedy that.
P.S. As much as I love them, this is not a ploy for compliments. Just venting my spleen a bit. ;)
