You'll learn to value the price of tires later in life, And I tend to agree......don't stop send out applications.

I'am on the fence about this one, one he wasted your time it may not be valuable to him but to you it is. As for testing him on a reshedule thats just out right playing games and a failure on his part for not taking the time to see him. Not that I agree with a "50-80 foot " burn out that will end up putting you on the losing side. . . And lastly age has nothing to do with it in this case we all do stupid things when were angry, it just depends on how short the fuse is.

Thanks Skoda ur the only that seems to understand what i was going thru @ the time. He shouldnt rescedule so many times without at the very least a reason, its not like im applying for some super complicated position. As for the short fuse I usually am a very calm person no matter what the situation never do stuff like that, but never had i had to deal with someone like that its a 20 mile round trip & he knows it, its not my fault the Ex felt like going beyond what i had in mind.

some of them are a-holes which would make getting their job easier for me. quite a few ppl have put in complaints. and i figure im not the kind of person to slack off, ill work the days im supposed to and some, lots of ppl just call in sick or what have u so they can kick back while the new guy busts his *** off. Better for me.

I think some of y'all should focus on what's really important here:

Well if this was the first rescheduling then it was stupid, however if it was the 10th time...

And besides you only get to live once. Might as well have some fun.

First time - shame on them for not keeping it. Second time - It would be shame on you for accepting it. You should tell them you don't like to be disrepected and to shove the job and interview.

As far as using rescheduling as a personality test, this is how I see it. Allowing the 1st rescheduling shows you are fair, understanding, reasonable and able to work with others especially through problems. Refusing to accept the 2nd rescheduling shows you have character, can stand up for yourself, won't be a puppet and won't kiss *** for a job.
