Is everyone seeing a rising tide of rudeness vis-a-vis responses to social invitations? Just yesterday, two couples of otherwise conscientous friends finally responded (by phone) to invitations we mailed three weeks ago. (One declined, I think because they always wait until the last possible moment to get better offers, and finally came up with one; the other accepted.) We like these people just fine, but criminy. It's getting tough to take. I should note that both couples had been subjected to voicemails subtly asking for replies; we had written both off when the calls weren't returned for a week.
I originally thought it was because the people out West worth having at parties can tend toward the unrefined and flaky, but is it true elsewhere, too?
Warning: You can't hear the "We assumed because you hadn't heard from us . . . " response and the "Of course, you knew we wouldn't miss it for the world" response in the same day without your head exploding.

You mean you didn't get my RSVP? I sent it back last week. Oh shit, the stamp was upside down. That explains the possibility of death thing. Now I don't get to come to your party AND I get death. Those fuckers.
Cake or death?
edited to say congrats to The Rocket. Glad he could do it in front of a friendly crowd. But hey, was that chubby little kid standing behind him in the interview his? Is it me or were there just not that many chubby kids when we were young? Were we more active or did their moms just hide them?
