Midnight letters #prompt 15: The unserious thing that affected my mood today.

Hello my fellow midnight owls. Wishing everyone a new week.
I almost missed this prompt because of my notification But I'm glad I didn't.

HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED AN OPPORTUNITY SLIP OUT OF YOUR HANDS BECAUSE OF YOUR IGNORANCE?

I'm someone who always try to be available for my friends or people around me. But I hate it when the feelings is not being reciprocated.
Yeah! I know everyone are not the same but ignorance, or being less concern is what I can't handle.

I have a particular friend who has a very bad habit. Well to me, it is a very bad habit. When I call him he will never picked immediately. He might call back later probably after an hour but he will always missed the call. And his excuse is always the same.

"oh! I'm so sorry my phone was on DND (Do not disturb)". Like seriously.😒 I believe you should apologise when you're wrong and correct your wrongs not repeating it over and over again. And keep apologising like it's already rehearsed.

It's annoying, it might look childishly annoying but it is annoying. Why will someone decides to put there phone on DND. You're not in a meeting, not in lecture room,or asleep. I'm sure he is not the only one doing that and I hate that about him. Because sometimes I ask myself, what if there is an emergency, what if there is an opportunity and I need to link him up or reach out immediately. Or what if I needed help and he happens to be the closest person at that moment. He won't be an option because I already know he won't pick up immediately.

He did the same thing today and I was so pissed. We have been having an online class together for 2 months now and the portal was finally opened for us to fill in our details for our certificate.

He has not fill in his details and I can't do it on his behalf from my own end. I called repeatedly because the portal will close anytime soon. He wasn't responding again and I know why. He called back 10 minutes after the portal was closed And I ignored his call.

I don't know what I will say to him out of anger so I just ignored him instead.
Writing this here calmed my heart because I was able to not just write how I feel but sharing my thoughts and sending a message to anyone who has this habit out there to try and stop. Because I don't want anyone to experience what happened to my friend.

I know he now understands the emotional toll,or consequences of his actions. I will reach out to him soon so we can talk about it and know the way forward.

Thank you for reading until the end.
I remain your favourite Midnight owl @zali.bee.
Have a lovely week bye for now.
