Default Friends, favours, and no-shows?

Someone promised to help me with some welding on my car and would come and do it last week.
No-show, so I called him and he said he would do it yesterday instead. I went over in the morning and confirmed we were OK for the afternoon.
No-show, so I called and he said he'd be here at 10 this morning.
No-show. Now, we had a little snow but nothing that has affected travel or even the phones but I've heard nothing.

If I get someone else and pay them to come and do the job, should I be bothered if he is upset?

No. He'll probably be relieved. If he wanted to help he would have by now.

In a word NO!

Your friend shouldnt shite on his own doorstep ie. don't fuck a friend over!!

I have a guy who was "building" my saxo vts turbo project as i was working in southern france at the time. 3.5 years later and im still owed Ł1700 of the cash he took off me for various "parts that where bought" ie. the money was taken but no parts where got!
