What do call someone who said they'd get things done...

on multiple occasion yet didn't do them? Any of them.


I said "it's not the first time you said you'd do something (have something done) that you didn't get it (or have it done) and I don't like being lied to."

I got told to 'rethink calling me liar,' isn't that the correct name?

    unreliable and flaky. Not necessarily a liar as they may have good intentions when they say they will do something.

    I can't stand that. All it says to me is "you are not as important to me as _______________."

    Not at all typical male. My hubby doesn't say he will do something unless he will. How else can you trust someone?

    As the saying goes: what you DO speaks so loudly that I can't hear what you say.

    I am finding it amusing that the first several comments assume it's a "he" it is not...and it has nothing to do with a personal relationship at all...But, yes, she is a procrastinator, which does not absolve her of telling me she's gonna have something fixed, then doesn't, then gets angry when I go over her head.

    Yeah, from editing the thing down to 60 characters...knew I missed something, but cannot edit a topic once 'submit' (or whatever it's called) is hit.

    flog her; it is the only sensible thing to do; this wouldn't be a teenager by chance...if it is and we do not want to assume anything....get a tee shirt that says I'm wrong your right and wear it until age 26 then give to her to wear. In the mean time drink wine throw your head in a corner and carry on...

    Is it a coworker? That kind of behavior seems all too common in the workplace. Maybe they think they can get it done and forget or run out of time? Is it intentional?

    Just untrustworthy. Keep it in mind, and if you need something important done, just don't ask her. Or if you do, prepare to do it yourself. Doesn't mean she doesn't care; it just means you're not at the top of her hierarchy of importance.

    Unfortunately, it's my landlord. Repeatedly telling me things are going to be fixed/done that aren't...got mad 'cause I went to the owner with the major problems. Since she doesn't have a boss, that was the person to go to. Unfortunately, it hasn't stopped the lying.

    They have a legal duty towards maintaining a rental property. I would draw up a list of outstanding jobs/repairs & state that you will a) report them to the authorities, b) get quotes for the jobs & present them to the landlord stating you will be happy to pay for the repairs if the price is deducted from rent costs c) seriously rethink renewal on the tenancy.

    If you can't rely on her to get the things done that she says she will get done, you have some options. 1) Get someone else to do it, and send her or her boss the bill. 2) Constantly write passive aggressive notes until you feel better. 3) Camp her. I got this idea from playing WOW. Sometimes, you have to babysit adults. I call it camping. They probably call it irritating. 4) Last, but not least, move to another place that actually cares about the upkeep of their property.

    I am sure there are other things you can do, but these are some ideas. Good luck!!

    Write unfavourable reviews on the rental company's website or the Better Business Bureau. They will fix the problem or suffer financially for it. Money talks.

    you obviously did not read any of the other comments...I've never actually had a man who said he'd do something then not do it, guess I've just been "lucky" in that respect.

    I am not soliciting advice here, people...just asking if "liar" is the appropriate word for someone who doesn't do what they say they will...
