That's insane. Who does that and how does it make you feel and have you told them?

First couple of times I was annoyed. At this point it’s become a common joke that X isn’t coming to the party until they walk through the door.

It’s a mix of people with social anxiety and people who have FOMO and agree to three different events on the same day.

The more polite ones in that second group have done things like shown up in tuxes for a casual party and dipped 10 minutes later for some other event.

No talking to the various people in this category has done anything so they just get treated as nice to haves of they show up and we wait 0 seconds for them for anything scheduled.

You meet a lot of weird people in software
