Sounds like you have a pride issue with needing people to bow down and kiss your ass
over what is probably nothing.
You want to be right and you want everyone around you to know it and that's why you need
the person to be sorry.(but for you "being sorry" is probably more like begging)

While normally I would not even acknowledge your stupidity, I'll entertain a scenario to put you back in your place under the troll bridge as it would pertain to my O.P..
1. A model is scheduled for a shoot. She is one of three. The night before a shoot, I verify with everyone they are still on for the following day, and give them the details and time. They all say they are a go.
The next day, one of them does not show up or call. We initially wait 15 minutes to start the shoot because we do not want to be in the middle of a scene and phone is ringing, or someone is pounding at the door and we have to stop.
So not only have you inconvenienced me, but the other two girls who are there and one time. We have to rework the scenes for 2 instead of three, and then we waited for you. So now the shoot will go longer than expected for everyone. The other girls are now mad, and it shows up on the end result in film.
2. Similar scenario, different outcome. Two girl shoot, and do the same as above. 15 minutes prior to the shoot you get some excuse about her boyfriend did not tell her he needed the car, she got called into work, or did not remember to set the alarm. So we end up canceling the shoot.
However, first girl was already in route, so she was expecting to make money that day. I had moved around my schedule the night before, and that day to plan for a shoot and material. Now the girl is out money, and have to go through scheduling another shoot.
Now, in either situation. That same girl who last minute canceled, or did not show up at all will respond to my next shoot posting saying she can make it to the next one we are doing in a few days. She goes on to retell me whatever story she had for that other day, but no where in the e-mail, IM, phone call is an apology for wasting time and money for us.
This actually happens more than half the time. We do have some girls who are very responsible, and apologetic when something comes up. So it makes me more apt to consider scheduling, or holding a spot for them, compared to someone with no remorse.
I could go on with similar situations with coder/designers, but you can imagine similar circumstance alone if you have been in this business a few years.
