Do you get mad when people dont show up?
I made plans to meet a friend somewhere today and I said just text me a half hour before if you want to cancel. So I drove and waited finally I texted "Im here!" all I get is a text "sorry not coming" i understand true emergencies but I feel a lot of my friends are this way. When I make plans I put them on my calendar and stick to it. Am I too rigid? Should I just blow off people? Is it just this generation? How do you react when people dont show up? I just didnt respond to the text.
Maybe Im too nice and they walk all over that?

That's really inconsiderate. They should've texted earlier.
But I don't find that with most people. It seems that you expect it from your friends 'cause you gave them an "out" before you guys even met.
Edit: Well, I definitely would confront them. Tell her that you were disappointed that you didn't get to see her, and see what she says. Then after that, I would stop making plans with her unless she shows some remorse.

That was really rude of your friend. I really hope that you told her all about her flaky self and that you don't appreciate her not letting you know ahead of time; that you understand things happen but you wasted time and gas money and she should have just told you before. Because I guarantee you that she knew wayyyyy before and just wasn't considerate enough to tell you.
People are so flaky and inconsiderate these days it seems. No reason to blow everyone off though...but if a "friend" shows such a lack of respect of your time and energy, then definitely blow THEM off. You aren't doing anything wrong other than associating with these pricks.

Once "friends" have done that to me 3 times without an explanation, I realise they are not my friends and so they get dropped from my social list.
If this happens to you often they are doing it because you let them. People will do what they can and will only stop when it's brought to their attention or the repercussions of their actions are not that nice.
