I am not reliable because if anything happens, my plans are destroyed.

I plan so very carefully, that I can guarantee that I will do what I say I will
do.

But then something happens, and I didn't think that thing would happen,
I find myself hungry unexpectedly, or I have to do laundry out of cycle.

And my plans are destroyed.

So that makes me unpredictable.
