Planners Who Give Up Plans for Last Minute Stoppers

Today a friend seemed relieved when we had to cancel plans for the four of us to get together because her godchild had just told her that she needed to see off a friend in San  Francisco later in the afternoon and needed a ride.

This postponement of plans worked out for all of us, but I don't like it when friends drop their own plans to accommodate drop ins or people who don't plan ahead because it encourages not planning ahead, and it may also give the receiver a feeling of entitlement,   It also makes it seem that the planners don't have a life of their own or that their plans don't matter.
