No, it’s being realistic: if somebody doesn’t take you seriously enough to call you back or they disrespect you and devalue your time by being late several times, it’s time to ditch them: life is too short and precious for wasting it on masturbators and jokers.

A real friend won’t leave one hanging.

Yeah and it seems like you have managed to figure that out without the need to quantify it, which I believe was the point that the OP was making.

A point could also be made that life is too short to take yourself too seriously, but to each his own.

I am not so sure keeping score for the people you know is a big sign of respect for them either.
