poor form

the following behaviors are blatant examples of "Poor Form" and should not be tolerated by civilized persons. everyone fouls up on occasion. however, if you are habitually a victim of one of or a combination of these social snubs as performed by a particular person, take stock! it is probable that this person holds no regard for your feelings and/or is knowingly inconsiderate.

1. double-booking.
there are two modes of double-booking. in the first mode, the person has plans with you and then a different opportunity arises and they completely cancel on you. in the second mode, the person makes plans with you and then abruptly ends your social time together early in order to catch up with and end their evening with anther person(s).

2. b-list invitations.
for example, the person has 2 tickets and since their FIRST choice of guest can't make it, they ask YOU as their second choice. you've just been b-listed.

3. last minute cancellations.
barring a death, accident, or last minute acute illness, 24-hours-notice is necessary for any cancellation to be any any way acceptable. the less notice that is given for a cancellation, the worse the offense. any ditch within 6 hours of the event (without appropriate death/accident excuse) is egregious.
