You’re sitting at a table for two at a busy brunch cafe, trying not to look conspicuous. Around you, conversations buzz like wasps at a picnic. Wait staff flit here and there with metal platters of coffee and croissants precariously balanced on upraised palms. The scent of toast, waffles and fried egg envelop you as you crane your neck toward the entrance, desperately seeking your friend who was supposed to meet you twenty minutes earlier.
I agree, micro-ghosting is frequent. At the same time, I think, as we age, memory is more of an issue. I try to right everything down, but sometimes forget. If I don't, there's a 50/50 chance I won't remember time/place to meet someone.
I hate it, too! And have to admit, I hate the fact that my once incredibly-sharp memory isn't quite so keen any more. It's true, I also tend to forget things when I don't write them down (and sometimes when I do). So yeah, we need to be as forgiving of others as we'd like them to be of us.

Hate auto correct - changed write to right!!
