Only Myself To Blame
Next time I ask if someone's going, I'll be looking for more than a yes or no answer. Therefore, hereon, I'm going to ask you what you're doing before the agreed said time you are to appear, and how long it's going to take, because nobody leaves a task started and undone. If no time can be determined (as in the case of the ambiguous "I'll be there" or "I'll be late"), I will ask you where you are going (to determine driving time needed), how long you will be there, and if you're really sure you're still coming. I will not ask you what you're doing out there, because no longer do I seek excuses. I know you have other "things to do." So do them. No more will activities be dicked over by the power of the flake, like SB does all the time. Don't feel bad though, it's my fault for not looking for more detailed answers out of you.
While I'm here, one thing I'll never understand are curfews for peers during weekends and holidays (i.e. non school days).
What the gay? Even with school days you should be able to determine with your own best judgement how late to stay out. The worst thing is someone who lives away for school and still comes home and still has to be home at a certain time. Christ. If you tell your parents you're gonna be out late then that should be the end of it. I'm not saying come home at 3, 4, 5 o'clock constantly, but anything earlier shouldn't even be a damn problem. Amazing. Same thing when someone uses the excuse my parents think it's too late to go out. Christ.
