Always RSVP - I hate it when people don't (sm)

because I always tend to plan for them in case they show up.
My college roommate was from a different part of the country, and she would always write "RSVP Regrets Only." SHe would assume you would be there if she didn't hear from you.
I try to always err on the side of being polite and respond either way.

Because not all divorced people hate each other
They had a life together and that is a fact. My ex and I still talk, he and his first ex-wife talked and she and I are friends. They did have kids together and no I was never jealous. He cheated, we went through an ugly divorce - no kids - but had 22+ years together and so now we talk. He was my best friend for a long time and that is the part I missed. Would I marry him again -- no, is there anyting romantic - no but we do talk. So I guess it is something you will have to accept or move on. Not everyone comes out of a divorce bitter enemies. I am closer to my stepchildren than he is as their father.
I hate to say it, but today I think close to 99 out of 100% of people are idiots.
Not just as far as trusting people, but in general.
People that hurt dogs should be hurt themselves in the exact same way. I HATE sm
cruelty to animals.

I didn't know I was being rude all those times I didn't RSVP when I was not coming. I thought it was just necessary if it was a yes.
You know, if I'm too busy to come to the party, I'm generally too busy to make the phone call and risk getting stuck on the phone. I didn't ask to be invited, so I shouldn't have to call to say I'm not coming. There is no obligation there. You all are silly. :)
I don't RSVP either because
usually the people that send me in an invitation pretty much know I'm not coming. Like you said, I didn't ask for them to send me anything. They should know if they don't hear from me, I'm not showing up. Anybody who knows me would know right away if I was coming to anything they were planning.

I don't RSVP if I am not going. I do RSVP if I am going. I do think it is rude to not RSVP and then show up. That would screw up the event planning process for sure. Sorry people, but I have too many other important things to do than spend my time calling about all the things I don't have time to attend.
To All Who Don’t RSVP,
well bless your heart....Here in the south we say that when people do not know any better.
When an invite says RSVP
It's good etiquette to respond even if you can't make it to the event, right?
Having a debate with hubby about an invite I sent out for a party, and now I feel like I should track some people down to see if they even received the invite. He says they probably did but can't make it. I think that's kind of rude to ignore an invite if someone went to the trouble to mail it you and included an "RSVP by" date.
Very rude not to answer an RSVP
If you are attending or not, should show some form of manners. People go to the time and expense to plan for an event, surely have the decency to give an answer.
it IS MOST rude to ignore any RSVP....got it?
RSVP newest craze sms
My DILs family puts "regrets only" after the RSVP as they don't want people "bothering them" on the phone. I hate this, why invite people you don't like? I love hearing from people. I've been on the other end when 20 people showed up without responding. Hate "regrets only" - lazy!!!
Why would you send in an RSVP card
for dinner. The answer I would give is NO. I got an invitation to a cousin's wedding, someone I never heard from, her mother (paternal aunt), never heard from her either and I laughed and threw the invite in the garbage. Why would you even think you had to go or even respond?
you can give the people the facts, but the decision making process should be left to the people
This is what our country is founded on FREEDOM OF CHOICE! I'm laughing already; you are just as mortal as the rest of us, and don' even attempt to that you've never done anything in your lifetime that was unsafe or unhealthy. NOT gonna buy it.
it is wonderful to see how many people have such strong opinions about people in debt.
I thought that the purpose of this board was to be able to post without being judged unfairly or have somebody tell you how wonderful their personal life is, and therefore you are causing their life to be less wonderful with your irresponsibility. Well, the saying "walk a mile in my shoes" is a good one in this case. Since you have no personal information about the person you are lambasting because they are looking for information on their debt, you can feel superior. Had you had personal information about them, you might act in a more human manner. Consider fighting cancer for 4 years, working and being debilitated while you do, suffering the effects of chemo, going into debt to maintain your home for your children and looking for a way out of debt SHOULD YOU EVEN LIVE THROUGH THIS!! Thank you for the kind comments. To the judgmental people I say please take a step back before you judge. You do not know who you are talking to and if you knew the personal information maybe your comments would be kinder.
I get frustrated by the double standard they use when judging people. They let certain people go sa
What do you think about the voting process?
People who go around calling other people "low class"
have their own issues in life. Ignore them. Nothing like a misplaced superiority complex to make a person feel good about themselves. Like they've never done anything gauche or made a faux pas. It must be nice for them to be so perfect and live in a glass house.
For that matter, you probably saved your piggy's life by popping that mondo zit! It could have gotten infected or something.... (yes, I have a zit popping fixation myself, but you were really descriptive on that pig zit. gag LOL)
Man, you would have appreciated the time one of my relative's popped a HUGE cyst on her face. I was standing right next to her at the time and leaned back because I knew it was going to blow. It did! Big time! All over the wall, mirror and light fixture. I'm still disgusted by the thought of it 10 years later. LOL In a revering kind of way...
some people did, some people didn't. It's their choice.

and don't you just hate
all those passwords you have to memorize. Just when I get them down I have to change them again!!!! I just ain't equipped to live in a modern world!
I hate to say this, but
"home" is wherever I'm at with my family! If my husband and children are with me, I'm "home". I'm happy and full of peace and joy when they are with me and okay!
I hate when that happens!
I wonder why anybody even specializes in dermatology; those I have seen have not seemed very talented in the area of diagnosing either!
Hope it clears up soon.
OMG I hate those-
then when it finally comes out it's way too much all at once! Very irritating.
THAT'S what I hate . . .
being treated like some low-life scum and not being trusted becuase I have had a run of misfortune. It's very degrading.
I hate that too!
And in our Walmart, they say the announcements in English and then again in Spanish sometimes. Not all the time, but it drives me up the wall! It just encourages them not to bother learning the language.
I hate having to call Verizon when we have trouble with our DSL, because I always get an ESL. Some are better than others, but I can't stand that. 
I hate when that happens.
Okay, that never happens to me.
Wow - I hate this for you all so much!! (sm)
I hope everything gets under control there soon and that you don't have to evacuate. I just want to say I'm so sorry and that many people everywhere really are thinking of you and praying for you. I'm sorry you didn't hear back from your supervisors - I hope there is some logical explanation and that it is not just that they don't care. Either way - many other people do. I hope it all gets better for you soon!!
Hate it too
That is why I love Cape Cod. We get to enjoy all four seasons, but the warm ocean air usually keeps the snow away.
I truly hate that. sm
I was just discussing with my husband the other day how the Kennedy family is just cursed. They have had so many tragedies...I honestly think there has to be a curse there. So much has happened.
I wonder if he had been experiencing any other symptoms or if this just came out of nowhere. My aunt died from lung cancer that had spread to her brain, and she had many, many symptoms. Cancer by its very nature, though, is sneaky. A hard disease to fight.

I hate ...
When I take out the recyclables, walk back in, and realize that I have to open another can, to feed the cat
When I leave the house, wearing my "around the house" glasses, even though my "going out" glasses are right next to my keys.
I hate it when ....
I have to beg my son and DIL to have time w/ my grandson.
I hate it when
I get a craving for chocolate and there isn't one morsel to be found in my cupboards! :(
I hate it when
people chew their gum like a cow chewing cud or suck on their teeth after they eat. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I hate it when.......
People write checks period. But even more so when they are in the express lane and write a check.
Second, I hate it when people stop in the middle of the aisle to have a lengthy conversation and block the whole aisle!
I hate...
1. People that say "have a good one".
2. Doo rags.
3. Pants that hang below the butt.
4. Dogs with clothes on.
5. My neighbor that wears nothing but shoes outside in his yard. (he's old and it's not pretty)
I hate what they did
I was so sad that he died and I don't like the storyline at all.
I hate to tell you
but if you are prowling around on this board you are not Ms. High Society.
Learn to keep it real dear, no one likes a high maintenance heifer.
hate to tell you
you don't know what you are talking about
Hate to be a pessimist ...
but smokeless tobacco "just" causes cancer of the head and neck, not change in mental status like you are describing. I would suspect he has put something else in his "tin" or whatever his snuff comes in. Going away to college is when kids get to try all the stuff the couldn't get away with at home, so I'm sorry, but I think your son is about to flush college money away on a semester-long party. That's what I observed when I was in school.
Don't you just hate it when you are transcribing sm
concentrating real hard, and don't even realize they are there? To top it off, they speak your name and you jump out of your skin? I love my family to death but I swear I will have a heart attack some day. I have my desk situated to where all I have to do is look to my right side and can see whoever is at the door but I sometimes am concentrating so hard that I don't realize anyone is here. My youngest son (21) just did that to me-stood at the door and said "I found it". He had been looking for his college class schedule. I think I am stuck to the ceiling. Somebody peel me off.......and it is only Monday....... 
None, never wear a bra, hate it. nm

I hate to brag, but yes...
I'm lucky also! Just today as I was working, my husband was doing the laundry and vacuuming. His job allows him to be home a lot of the time, and when he is, he definitely does his share! He understands that I work just as hard as he does. We inspire each other, I believe, to do more for our family and home life. I don't really say this too often to other women because most of the time it is the opposite for them. My husband is not perfect, he has his faults, but so do I and that's how I look at it. You either put your foot down and make changes or you live with it and be unhappy.
I hate those things!
I just know they're waiting to latch onto an eyeball and suck it dry.
They USED to be all over here. Husband asks if we REALLY have to have a few hundred chickens and ducks running around loose in spider detection mode? Yes, we do. So shut up.
Men hate cats?
Gosh, please don't tell the love of my life, my friend, lover, sunshine, everything that has meaning in life husband that- he adopted my 2 furries and brought them home for me. My husband is my passion- the furries come second.
I HATE Wal-Mart!!!
So, last weekend, 10/27, I ordered a large Nintendo Wii bundle (this includes a bunch of games and accessories) from Wal-Mart's website for my daughter for Christmas. On 10/30, I received an email stating that the Wii console was "not available" and they were canceling this part of my order. I tried to cancel the rest of my order, but WM does not allow you to cancel online orders once you place them. Obviously, I'm extremely mad as I now have a bunch of games and accessories for the Wii but no way to play/use them!! I really feel like I was tricked into buying this very expensive bundle when there's no guarantee that I will be able to get the Wii console before Christmas. I actually filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and sent a letter to Wal-Mart's corporate office. I received a response back from their customer service dept stating that they would call me to "resolve this issue" within one business day, but that was 2 days ago and nothing as of yet. The really crappy part on their behalf is that they are STILL selling this Wii bundle on their website and it states it's IN STOCK when they know very well that it's not!! So, I'm not the only one that is going to be tricked into paying hundreds of dollars for games and accessories and not getting the Wii console!
I really don't know if there is someone else that I can complain to - like the Attorney General or what??? I really feel like this is very unethical of them to do this. I know I can take all the games and accessories to the store to get a refund for that, but I'm still out the shipping charges which isn't right.
Please all you WM haters don't flame me for shopping there in the first place. I've never had a problem with them before and I'm not sure why they are treating me like this now. I really just wanted to get ideas or suggestions from anyone that knows whether this is illegal or just unethical and if there's anything I could do about it, besides complain on here and hope I keep someone else from shopping at this horrid place :)
Does anyone else HATE their sister like I do? nm
.
I hate it too, even in my own city (sm)
I find that as I get older, it's not even a question of not seeing as well. It's almost more like disorientation,if it's an area I'm kind of familiar with, but not really. Like I will be not quite sure how much farther I have to go to the light and then when I get to the light, I'm not sure what cross street I'm at. Sound funky. Kind of hard to explain.
I hate snow too
I want to hibernate until the winter is over with. Even my dog hates it. We lived down south for a few years and now back up here. I am ready to go south again. I am actually getting nauseated over it. My plans are to go back.
Hate New Years Eve sm
Husband creamed in an accident by reckless driver on NY Eve, since then hate to leave the house. Ate in, nothing fancy, no alcohol, watched Kindergarten Cop, old SNL's and neither of us could stay awake until Midnight. No hangovers here either!!
I don't hate winter, but
enough is enough! Yeah, I know it's only February. We've been spoiled here in the Northeast. The last few winters have been so warm I'd started believing in global warming. Now I'm starting to think new ice age instead!
I have a new Hoover and hate it
I want my old one back. This one is hard to get the plate off to clean out the dog hair, it is hard plastic and takes several minuetes to get it back on correctly so it will seal and suck out the water. My old one that I had for 12 years was great and worked much better. But since I bought it I will use it. I have 2 cats and 1 dog and it works good just don't like cleaning it. But it has paid for itself. Like I said my other one lasted 12 years and so the $159 I paid for that one really did pay for itself. I used to use it about every 2-3 months as we live on the water and the carpets can get quite dirty. I am hoping to get hard wood floors here in the next month or so and so won't use it so much. But to me I love the convenience and it really kept my carpet in good shape.
I'm so glad - what I hate more is....
I saw that commercial and started crying when the people's legs walked by her and she sat there watching them pass with that cute face and floppy ears. That commercial makes me cry, but now I'm happy that she's adopted. However, what makes me cry worse and makes me want to comit murder is hearing about the people who are cruel to animals. I can't watch the commercial anymore with the singer who is singing a very sad song and all these pictures of abused and tortured animals are up. These animals have been traumatized and are so afraid and you can see it in their faces. I sure wish there was some way to educate humans that animals do have feelings and they feel pain, sadness, happyness, hunger, and neglect. I still can't figure out why humans do what they do to animals without a second thought. Throws me into a depression and I just sit and cry. I know it happens in life but I just can't take hearing about it.
I hate to use this phrase, but men really don't always think
