I hate excuses, I would rather people just be honest and tell me forthright if they do not want to come, for whatever reason. If I take the time to invite you to my home and feed you and entertain you for the evening, the least you could do is to be honest with me, and preferably oblige! lol
I didn't really get any excuses this year, I just got people drop out without apology, without reason and without notice. Oh, except one girl who had to be rushed off to the hospital because she accidentally sliced her hand open or something....... I let that one go, though, because she is a fellow Halloween nut and I know she wouldn't have missed it on purpose.
In the past I've had the most ridiculous excuses such as "oh........ I forgot" despite being reminded weekly for the proceeding 6 months... that and "I fell asleep".. I mean, for goodness' sake, give me a little credit here - that's as bad as saying your dog ate your homework!! *tuts* I also hate it when people say "Halloween's not my thing.." - what the heck is that anyway?!? Easter's not really my thing but you would be offended if you bought me a chocolate egg and I failed to return the favour or thank you for it.. *sigh*
People can be so rude
