Oh 100%. Unfortunately I have zero sympathy for the staking business (sorry boys) because when you build out your shrewdie business model this is a variable you must factor in as a matter of business. When that eventuality transpires you can't turn on the non-businesses waterworks of trust abuse between friends. But that said as people we should do what we say we're going to do or life is going to suck ass. People tell me all the while 'I give you my word' and these days it means abs nothing. I am so anal about this, even to the degree that if I arrange a meet at 9:00...it gets to 9:01...and the other person isn't there...i'm already flipping my shit.
A pet hate of mine is bad timekeeping. Being ex military,if someone says we'll meet at 1300hrs, I'm there at 1255hrs.
Same here, when my students turn up 5 mins late and after the grief I have given them subsides I then ask them if they are ok that I let the class run over by 5 mins, because, "it is only 5 mins", they are not so keen and some do get the point. Ex military too BTW but I was like that before I joined up, the way I was brought up don't you know.
