House hunting

By ohboy - 06/03/2009 00:51 - United States

Today, I was supposed to see an apartment. Thirty minutes after I was to meet the owner, she still hadn't shown. I called her. When I got no response, I was annoyed and kept calling. Finally, she answered, said, "I'm in the hospital with my father. He just died. Please stop calling me," and hung up. FML

thats not really a fml, how were you supposed to know? most people would do the same if someone didn't show when they were supposed to. Don't feel bad!

She was very rude considering you had no idea what had happened and she was still the one breaking her appointment without notification.

I feel for her, but she should've told you she wasn't coming, it would have been the professional, polite thing to do, and it would've taken about thirty seconds, the whole thing could have been avoided. If she forgot about the appointment because her father died and that's why you didn't hear from her, that's one thing, but what's the point in completely ignoring your calls? She had to have known you were probably waiting. A simple "Hey, I'm sorry, my father just passed away, I won't be able to make it" would have sufficed.

**** off #6 she did what anyone would of in that situation..you dont just not tell your clients you can't come because your father died u call them as soon as you find out knowing you have that appointment with them...and secondly i agree wth #74 she shouldn't of been ignroing your calls knowing you were calling because she was late and there is no reason for the rudness how were they supposed to know your fathere was dying...what a bitch.

Don't feel bad, you couldn't have known this had happened. For all those trying to pin the blame on you, you better apologize for not being ******* psychic and realizing she had a good reason to end the appointment. Seriously you guys, next time you have an appointment and the other person doesn't show, we'll see how eager you are to just sit around and wait. For **** sakes. And lastly, for how rude she was to you there? She probably would have lost my business. No joke.

I'm so glad there's so many people here agreeing you did nothing wrong. Granted, the woman's circumstances were very extenuating, and we shouldn't take that lightly, but repeated calling isn't harassment. Her absence in that moment was constant, whereas your phone calls were intermittent, no matter how many times you chose to call. If you knew her phone would send her a reminder beep every 5 minutes if she'd missed a voicemail, that would be one thing, but there was no way of knowing. You had to keep calling. I've been in similar circumstances. Lack of communication always communicates something, and it's usually something bad.

That is not your fault at all, the bitch should of told you that she wouldn't be there

You didn't know. How were you supposed to? If she's going to be a bitch like that I would consider not doing business with her. I'd think about it though, as when a family member dies things become chaotic. Just don't so anything too rash like she did.

What truly irks me about this FML is her bitchy "Please stop calling" remark... um, hey asshole, this person wouldn't have kept calling if you would've PICKED UP IN THE FIRST PLACE!

I agree with this. It would have been much less frustrating for her to have picked up the first time, said "I will not be able to make it today. My father has died." than to endure repeated attempts at phone calls. A stitch in time saves nine and all that.

you shouldnt feel bad, even though her father passed away, she should have called you to cancel she was being very unprofessional, or she could have had someone else do it
