Hobby life or real world doesn't matter. We tend to be more understanding with or less forgiving on whom it is or relationship status with them. If we have a good relationship, understand their situation, hot (as monkmonk stated), etc we will be more patient of excuses be it honest or not.
On the other hand if we don't respect them, trust them, indifferent or have a history of excuses; less patience and understanding given. However this is also a two way street. If you are the one ALWAYS receiving excuses delayed responses, perhaps the reciever needs to see what they are doing. Are you always mean, unpleasant, demanding, dirty smelly ass (lol referring too old thread), etc. If its a time issue leave a message stating the urgency and when you need to hear back by.
Unfortunately we live in a "me" society and with instant gratifaction needs, technology is feeding those desires.
