We had a volunteer say in the beginning of the year that they would chair muffins with mom in the spring--- she was somewhat involved in the PTO at the time---
As the months went by-- she said she was good and everything was already planned-- as the was within 2 weeks- she said she couldn't run the event-- she never said she could and nothing was planned--
so we scrambled a little and put a great event together and it turned out to be a huge success-- but you have to know that only happened because we stayed up top of the upcoming events and made sure that the chair had everything under control and planned out.
We had this Mom to show up drunk to an event and when she was approached about it she did a " Whitney Huston " on us. Made a huge scene. I was asked to carry her home. I said, " NO WAY ". I'm a Dad and there was no way I was being alone with her.

On a lighter note (sort of), we have one mom who shows up with several extended family members in tow and proceeds to eat everything in sight and take anything "extra" that isn't nailed down.
They volunteered to help at a fundraising dinner (and didn't buy a ticket, just came to help, supposedly). Did almost nothing then tried to load up about 8 of the leftover steak dinners from Outback. The program chair threw her out!
I've dealt with lots of great, not-so-great, and downright horrible volunteers.
Our worst was one we thought was the best. Cheerful, hard-working, helped with EVERYTHING at school, came to every event no matter what time or day. Volunteer extraordinaire. Officer. Friend. Absolutely fabulous until we discovered significant money missing and layer after layer of lies as to why. To work side by side with someone for months, trust them implictly, and then be betrayed like that is horrible.
