I have a regural who is a complete mess, i'm not sure if any of you would put up with things this guy does (wants to arrange an appointment, then makes up a story about a broken car, angry boss, unexpected client,an earthquake- you name it). I never take him seriously, and always assume that he will cancel, so never plan anything around him-if he turns up he turns up. But when i do finally see him, he seems really nice and apologetic.
Anyway, this time he just crossed the line- he arranged to meet me, and also suggested we should go for lunch beforehand, to my local pub, as he described 'on him'. That's fine by me, i didn't have anything better to do, and a free lunch is always good.
He then texted me 'i am 10 minutes away, but just remembered that my credit card isn't working. I don't have any cash. Should we risk it and see what happens?'
I replied 'just forget it'
I am not sure howhe was going to pay ME, apart from the lunch bill, if he didn't have any cash?
