That is a mouth full I get really annoyed when that happens people who make promises and forgets that they made it then get angry when I point out that they promised and that they forgot. At this point I'm gong to record them so I'm not looked at like I'm the unreasonable one or being crazy I even said as much to the people in question and they just rolled their eyes. It will be funny when I prove how dumb they are.
Why do you want to prove how dumb they are? If it is just to justify your anger, then you actually want to be angry as you see some kind of humor in it. That's a bit backward.
However it does suck when people don't follow through in what they say. If it is a pattern with the same person, learn from it and stop expecting a change. That is on you. Regardless of righteous you feel about having someone not fulfill a promise, you already know they won't so why believe they will?
I rarely promise anything. I live honestly and a promise is to binding. For my liking
If they don't have any memory issues then it would seem that they never intended to keep the promise to begin with and probably just told you that to get you off their back or avoid your disappointment
If the promise is "I promise we'll meet up at the movies at 5" and they don't keep it they probably never wanted to go to the movies, or with you, to begin with
Idk about you, but when I actually want to go somewhere/do something the promise means "for sure!". If I don't want to go somewhere or do something I'm not gonna give my word to do it.. because why??
This seems to be a common problem these days
I think it has to do with the fact that communication through technology makes it so easy to avoid confrontation. People can blow you off without ever having to deal with your anger/sadness/disappointment in person/face to face
It's similar to how people feel free to call anyone any bad name they'd like online, but most probably wouldn't say it to a person's face because they don't want to risk getting beaten up, yelled at, having them cry and bystanders step in to tell them how horrible they are for saying that...
This non-confrontation stuff seaps over into real life though, and people are so used to that behavior that they do it in real life/face to face to, because they're used to not having to deal with any consequences that come from their failed promises, behiavors, words, actions...
