The Flake List

I'm sure no one has the temerity to actually create a list for posting the names and offenses of flakes, but I would applaud loudly if some one would.

Here’s the deal. We all know who they are, what they did and why it irritated us soooo much, that you want to tell everyone you know about that asshole that ….
Here are a list of offenses that we all can relate to:

• Someone sets up a luncheon and doesn’t show
• A conference call is scheduled and you are the only one listening to the music
• Someone says they will help you move your furniture on move day…nope, you’re all alone
• You assemble an advisory board for your start up…and no one advises you
• You ask your attorney to help introduce you to investors. Instead, they send you a $662.00 bill for “Monitoring Trademark Matters”…and you don’t have a trademark
• A simple desire to have coffee with a friend turns into a month long reschedule affair…and you give up
• You score two extra tickets to the hockey game and call five sets of friends and no one returns your call. You go, and try to sell them at the gate…no takers.
• Dinner is prepared and planned for 7 PM, dinner guests show up at 8 Pm

So, I Googled Flake and didn’t come up with much. So, I added Out, as in Flake Out. I found:

1. To fall asleep or collapse from fatigue or exhaustion.
2. To act in an odd or eccentric manner.
3. To lose interest or nerve.

Only the Urban Dictionary got it right:

flaked

• to decide to "bail" or leave at the last minute
• dude he totally flaked
• he flaked out on us

I know a ton of flakes and so do you. I would love to post my list of flakes on www.flake.com. if someone would have the temerity to start that list.
