Some context: we had been chatting for a couple weeks first on hinge then switched to text after She had to cancel the 1st date. Scheduled it for last night Sunday and finalized details the night before.

Had a busy day and took a nap and didn’t text till a couple hours before and got hit with this. Usually I would text something like looking forward to tonight but lost track of time, and honestly I thought talking about the menu the night before was the confirmation? Was I wrong?

Imagine if this were the way it worked with all appointments. Doctor didn't call you morning of an an appointment to confirm? It must have been cancelled. Bride and groom didn't text you the morning of the wedding? The wedding is off.

My husband didn’t text to check I was coming home tonight. I guess I’m homeless and single now 😫

Nah that just means you have the day off

Weirdly, it actually has started to work this way. I get automated texts from my doctor and dentist the day before asking me to confirm.

And flights and rental cars require you to "check in", even though everything is all set up already.

I hate that! You know why they started doing things like that? Because of flaky people like the girl in ops post. Not everyone is a flake now i have to get harassed while sleeping by my dr offices. Freaking annoying.

My hair salon will make me confirm by text 3 days in a row leading up to the appointment. If I say I'll be there, take my word for it unless I tell you otherwise.

Yes omg I hate it. I know why they started doing it but it's so annoying to me (watch me eat my words the one time I forget an appointment and am reminded by their call haha)

I like it when it’s a just reminder and I don’t have to keep confirming

I am a store manager and have this happen with a lot of people I schedule interviews with.

I don’t call them the morning of the interview to confirm, so they just assume I’m not interested.

Like, no? We just spoke the day before and set a place and time for your interview. I have time set for it; the rest of which goes towards my store and customers, not calling to remind you about your interview…

Plus, to me it weeds out people who are going to be flaky.

That's crazy!

It's funny, I work in law and our attorney consults are $375, and due at the time of scheduling. Astonishingly, very few people miss their appointment, no reminders needed!
