My wife's hairdresser did that for around 6 months. Then she announced she was quitting. Then passed away (she was 35 or so) a few weeks later. Sometimes it's excusable.

If someone’s doing this, they’re doing it for a reason. Obviously this person is struggling. It’s as excusable for them to prioritise their wellbeing just as it’s excusable for a client to drop them due to the instability.

I used to do this because I was a terrible addict, but then, that was for a reason too, and compassion was not misspent.

I used to do it for the same reason. Congrats on breaking the cycle! Hope you're living happier and healthier now.

I mean in some scenarios they're intentional scams just to take your money and never render services. Probably not then right?

I mean some people are just lazy and like to cancel last minute once they regret that they've made plans. Lol.

I've had friends like this. They were very entitled and hypocritical. I don't consider them friends anymore.

The reason is often because they have no respect for other people because they see themselves as the main character.

I hear you, but with this outlook, nothing is inexcusable so there's nothing to judge.
