If you look like that then it's obvious you didn't do a very good job

Why are you idiots responding to obvious /r9k/ bait? Christ alive, /cgl/ is far and away the easiest board to troll.

Friends who flake on finishing their own stuff and then coerce you into wasting con time to help them finish. I must've styled four wigs for people this weekend but I couldn't so much as find a single person to help me tie a bow behind my back. Hearing "oh gee sorry anon I thought someone else was helping you!" coming from four different directions.

Bonus: Calling them out on it and watching as the conversation is inevitably diverted not into what they did, but how bad you're making them feel by discussing it in any capacity. I love my friends outside of the con scene, but inside it I want to tear my hair out. We had this planned for months, why is it always down to this last second shit?

Damn it all to hell. Oh well, I guess it could be worse. I'll just have to duck away from pictures for a while.

>we plan to attend PAX months in advance in a cosplay group
>she drags her ass on her cosplay which i can sympathize with to an extent
>fucks up her hand, can't sew
>i offer to help her finish, along with another guy in our group
>clearly we don't realistically have time to sew two complex costumes within the week or two's notice she gave us that she wouldn't be able to finish
>also forgot to book her plane tickets so now they cost like $500 or some shit because it's the week before
>tell her forget it and we'll push everything back to another con
>just send guy the PAX passes, we'll sell the extra one and you can come to AB with us instead
>she waits like five days after we have this conversation for whatever reason to actually send them
>she tries to send me the passes instead of guy
>i'm at college and our mailroom is closed for spring break
>panic, get her to change the address to guy
>she does so at the last second but it's already in their system which might have fucked it up
>'i went with us mail because it was cheaper, but it should arrive on time'
>US mail, so obviously they do not deliver it on time
>......okay, well, if you get us the tracking information we might be able to find it and have guy pick it up on his way to boston
>she threw out the receipt with the tracking information
>did you take a picture of the tracking number?
>no

She's academically completely brilliant and also the nicest person I know. I'd take a bullet for her but sometimes shit like this happens.
