[ENFP] The Big Book of ENFP Flake Moments

[Esoteric Wench]

Begin.

OK, I'll go first.

Forgot I had invited various friends over to my house for a party until they started showing up that Saturday night. <Insert slamming my palm into my forehead here. >

OK, now begin.

 

[Malkavia]

I dont flake.

I had planned to go to my friend's house to celebrate my birthday on Sunday, forgetting that I was going on vacation that weekend. I didn't realize the clash until Sunday, and I had forgotten my phone at home. >_<

Omgg.... my best friend is an ENFJ; HUGE FLAKE. I want to choke her sometimes, thankfully I always somehow manage to make get move her ass and do what she promised to do. ...... she MIGHT be a P though.. O_O

 

[SillySapienne]

I'm not a flake, I'm flighty.

There's a difference.

 

[Moiety]

What's a flake?

No seriously, what's a flake?

 

[JocktheMotie]

I dont flake.

The first step is acceptance.

What's a flake?

No seriously, what's a flake?

1.




n. An unreliable person; someone who agrees to do something, but never follows through.
1. John called in sick to work again today. He's such a flake.

2. Mary said she would do the research for our project, but it's been a week and she hasn't done a thing. She's such a flake.

 

[Moiety]

Thanks. Well in that case I'm usually not at all. But I also make sure I don't ever make promises most of the time too.

 

[stalemate]

I keep it pretty well in check but just last week I completely missed a fairly important meeting at work. I didn't even realize it was going on until someone came to me afterward to catch me up on what I missed.

I had a reminder popping up for it but I had ignored that too (along with about 20 other reminders I had never looked at, but luckily had remembered anyway).

 

[Laurie]

As the freshman treasurer in college I was supposed to give a speech about myself to the entire freshman class. (400 people maybe?) I never prepared anything. I just stood up in front of the class and babbled for a few minutes. My friend said that it was an introduction into what Laurie was like. Heh.

This isn't a major flake moment, but I notice ENFPs will promise a lot of people to spend time with them on a given day, so what ends up happening is they will dart around not really able spending that much time with the different people. Or this might then turn into a big group event, with all the different people all together, which can be fun. But it may disappoint if you really hoped to spend quality one-on-one time with the ENFP.

This weekend I was suppose to help my aunt clean out my grandmother's house, take my dog to the vet, go to my graduation, and take a trip with my family to Louisiana's border.

I didn't make the graduation. I literally had 12 hours of stuff to do packed into 4-5.

I'm terrible with phone messages too. "I'll call ya back!" I say. I genuinely mean to everytime.. but usually my mind instantly dumps that call later memo into the "suggestion box" which happens to be linked to a furnace. My mind has no idea that it's phone message memos alone have been keeping my entire body warm for most of my life. I'm actually cold-blooded.

Text messages? If I get them right then and there and am capable of responding to them, I'll do so. Otherwise, tough luck. I'm just no good with the phone.

Got a birthday? You better have a facebook to remind me of it. Or send me a not-so-subtle hint on it. If It isn't my immediate family or best friend, I have no idea when your birthday is. I guarantee it. Like the furniture commercial, but more reliable than that. ...Not me, the guarantee. Even with my best friend.. I bought her present months in advanced. All wrapped, ready to go in my room. I lost track of calendar days and thought it was still mid-april when it was actually late april.. It was well into May before I realized what day it actually was.

 

[Clonester]

Hmm... Maybe I'm not an ENFP... I don't really flake like this. Sometimes I'm a few minutes late. Maybe it's my enneagram that helps counter my ENFP flakiness.

My brother calls my house "the place phone calls go to die" and other such things.

I laughed so hard when I read this. Hysterical. And so true.

Slightly related... this morning on my way to work I stopped at a drive through to get a drink. The lady at the window greeted me with "good afternoon."
