Here's one.
I showed up early one morning as I did every 6 months or so at my appointed time to tune a Steinway M at a mountain ranch. The fire department was still dousing the burning embers of ranch and piano as I pulled in the drive. Family all standing around in their PJs. ( All true so far) Well, I just pulled out my trusty bill pad and hit 'em for a missed appointment.

I had a similar, but opposite of sorts appointment a few years ago. I walked up to the front door maybe a few minutes late, knocked, and the lady answered the door. She appear rather panicked, tears streaming down her face. "My husband just had a heart attack and they took him to the hospital - I didn't want to leave because I knew you were coming."

 

Awww jeezzzzz. Lady, go to your husband  - call me sometime in the future and we'll reschedule - now go!

 

So yeah, there are all kinds out there. I sure appreciated her concern for my time, but goodness gracious - there are priorities!
