QUIZ: How Reliable Are You?

Let’s find out.

DO YOU HAVE a reputation?

Whether it’s that you’ve never let anyone down in your life, or that people know that no matter what you promise, you’re probably not going to turn up on time, or make the event you’ve promised to go to in the first place, let’s find out: just how reliable are you?

It’s for science, promise.*

*It’s clearly not for science. 

1. Are you ever asked to pet-sit?
Eh... I'm allergic...
I'm basically doggy day-care.

If all the kennels are booked.
I offer if I can.
2. You've been invited out with friends. You've known about it for weeks. Is there any circumstance in which you'd cancel?
What if a better plan comes along?
Nope.

Only if I'm really sick.
If I really, really needed to, but I'd apologise profusely.
3. Are you ever late?
Never - being late is being on time. I'm always 15 minutes early.
Constantly. My friends know to add on 15 minutes to any time we arrange to meet at.

Only through unavoidable circumstances.
Occasionally - but only with very good reason.
4. Pick a way to spend your weekend.
Absolutely no plans, but generally something pops up.
Standing brunch date with my family/significant other/people I've known since school.

Fairly regimented routine, but open to opportunity.
Little bit of this, little bit of that. Will hit up various events over the course of it.
5. Once you've set your mind to do something, do you ever change it?
Why would I ever change my mind?
If needs must, but I generally don't.

Not sure I've ever actually SET my mind on something...
With the wind...
6. How would your friends describe you?
There when you need me.
I'm basically the theme tune from 'Friends'.

Flakier than a croissant.
There when you really really need me. But have a back up, just in case.
7. Has anyone ever called you a flake?
This one time, but they took it back.
Oh God, no.

Not to my face.
All the time. It's basically my middle name.
8. Do you know where you're going on holidays next year?
I have a Pinterest board all ready to go, does that count?
Booked and paid for.

I don't know where I'm going next WEEK. So...no.
I've made a short list and am ready to put a deposit on it.
