I can be a very patient person.
You tell me a month, I can wait a month.
You tell me a year, I can wait a year.
You tell me "a couple of days"...
I'm going to start agitating at about the one week mark.
At two weeks I call you a liar.
At a month I tell everyone I know to avoid you.
Why?
Because if you'd meant a month, you should have said a month!
Being honest doesn't cost you anyone you really want to associate with anyways.
