What reason could there be for not calling, or answering a phone call? Once, I had a business appointment that I could not make because had an injury that required that I go to the emergency room; but I make a phone call from the emergency room informing the person of the situation. With everyone using cell phones, there are very few reasons for not contacting the other person.
When an appointment has been set for a certain time, and the guy has driven to the appointment only to set while the phone is not answered is a total lack of consideration. When this happens the guy should be able to post the facts and hope that every other guy avoids this woman without proper manners.
I know it works both ways because ladies have called me to confirm my estimated time of arrival. That is OK, because I know that they have gotten ready for a meeting only to have the guy NC/NS.
Lack of consideration is not a minor thing; it is in reality an attack on the other person. We can shrug it off and call it, as you did, a frustration. But it is more than frustration, it is a personal insult for either gender.
Recently, I exchanged email with a nice lady who was making a trip to KC. I got a message that the trip had been postponed. That was very nice and appreciated.
