Evenings and Events that get cancelled for no reasons what-so-ever.
Technically at least, no given reasons.
Still though, It's rather off-putting to plan for an occasion and to watch it go up in flames.

This happened a few times to me with my old social club, where I would put an evening in a pub on our monthly list of events and occasionally no-one would turn up to it but me. You could often avoid that by insisting that people book in advance for an event, but there was a consensus against doing that for pubs.
It's disheartening.
The worse part is that you'd think that now that we have like...a billion ways to communicate, they'd be ble to cancel before the meeting, but nope.
Why, yes, my plans for yesterday went down the crapper, why you ask?
^ Yeah, once or twice there was actually something I really wanted to watch on the TV that evening anyway, so I was actively hoping no-one turned up. Once I was actually on my way out of the pub after waiting half an hour or so when I ran into someone coming to the event, then some other people turned up.
IJBM when people are late, too.

Yep, it is pretty annoying when you organize something and then rather than call or email you to say they are not coming, nobody shows up without saying why. I think that when all those people RSVPed or told you they are coming, it is even less fun.
I feel like this kind of disappointment also applies to events that you did not actually organize when you are the only one who shows up and the person organizing the event neglected to tell you that it was cancelled.
That being said, I guess this type of stuff is pretty petty. I would much rather be the only one to show up and the thing be cancelled than be really late and have to awkwardly interrupt something.
