What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life? - FMHY

I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Piss-poor planning on your part doesn’t constitute an emergency on mine.
I dislike this one quite a bit. I'm a good planner, but we're all human, and can forget sometimes. This quote is just an excuse to feel better about not helping someone out, and not in a healthy I'm-setting-boundaries manner.

To be fair, my workplace is full of people that socialize 75% of the workday and constantly reply with “I’ll get around to it as soon as I can.”

…and then don’t.

And then I have to scramble to do their job when the task suddenly becomes more short-fused.

Thank gods I retire in a year.
