Ladies and gentlemen, the prosecution paints a picture of a friendship burdened by cancellations. But let's be clear: my client has been more than patient. How many times must one endure last-minute letdowns before questioning the very foundation of the relationship? Sarah's flakiness isn't just an occasional hiccup; it's a chronic disregard for my client's time and feelings. Is it truly unreasonable to seek respite from such consistent disappointment? I think not!
Oh, please! "Chronic disregard"? Let's not exaggerate. Life happens! The friend canceled a few plans. The art exhibit? She was sick! The picnic? Her cat was sick! Should she have abandoned her poor, vomiting feline? My client tried to address the issue, but was brushed off. Now, instead of open communication, my client is considering ditching her friend altogether? This is a classic overreaction. Maybe a little understanding is in order?
The constant cancellations are indeed a problem. Sarah's behavior shows a lack of consideration for the author's time and effort. However, the author's decision to detach without a serious, direct conversation is also a misstep. While Sarah is flaky, the author is passive-aggressive.
