It reminds me of an incident in a long ago weekend visit.  We had plans to hit a nice outdoor market and then had dinner reservations at an Italian place.  Her place is pretty "open door" with people dropping by a lot ( the 1:30 am this time threw me a little though )

So people dropped by and stayed and stayed.  I caught her eye and signalled the time - she nodded but kept up the conversation and the drinks.  And they stayed.  Soon it was too late to go to the market and an hour later we missed our dinner reservation.  Our dinner was Subway that night.  After they finally left she apologized but was acting helpless as though she had no control over the situation.  I was spitting nails inside but tried to control it.  I did ask why she just didn't tell them that we had reservations and we needed to leave?  Again with a helpless shrug.  She seems to have trouble with this.

Oh jeez.  That would totally frost my brownies.  You're kinder than I am, visiting her again after that!

Oh it did!  I would be a lot less tolerant now believe me!  I've been friends with her for a long time - kids really - so I suppose I have a big soft spot for her.  But really - it's unacceptable.
