Creep of the Week: Bloggers Who Go on Unannounced Hiatuses

How to recognize them: They brag about blogging on a regular basis (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, for example) and even tout a special feature every Friday. Then one day, all of a sudden, they just stop.

Frequently heard saying: “Read my blog!” “Follow me!” And then **crickets**

Why they bug: They brag about their set schedule, get you hooked on checking in on certain days and then disappear, completely slipping up on daylight. And really, how hard is it to write up a couple hundred words about your kid or some other mundane topic that no one cares about? Or do a silly formatted "column" that is only funny to you?

Their retort: “I’ve been really sick. Everyone in my house has been sick. The kid, the husband, even the cat is puking like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I’m knocked up and in charge of this infirmary. The blog just had to take the back burner for a week. I’ll be back in full force next week. Promise!”

My response: You better, bitch!
