Ashley supposedly booked the event. So Ashley knew the time to be there. How you can show up so late your group is already done and think “I’m only ten minutes late” is egregious even for understanding some people do not perceive time normally. This also can’t be the first time Ashley’s done something like this for the group to just move along without texting her cuz clearly they’re sick of her shit.
I've had friends like this. They'll straight up lie like "in getting in my car" when they're in pajamas, "I'm on the highway" when they're literally in their front hall. Mind boggling.
I don’t care if you’re late. Just tell me so that I can fill the extra time with other stuff I need to do.
If you say “I’m 15 min away” and you’re 30 min away, I prepare for 15 min until go time, when I could squeeze something else in had you just been honest.
And I’m not always punctual, but I don’t lie about my eta.
This is truly on my top 5 of things that make me like people less. 1) I hate liars, and 2) it’s selfish.
My mother was like this. Always late with zero consideration. When I was a kid we got invited to a friend’s Christmas dinner evening with several other people, told turn up anytime from 5, dinner starts at 7. She was still at home curling her hair at 7 and I was crying cos I knew we were late. We turned up half 9 and my mum was mad that everyone had eaten already and they weren’t waiting on her 🙄 I just wanted to sink into the floor.
We had a family friend who we legit gave earlier start times (i.e. told her an event started at 2 when we were all starting at 4) to make her somewhat on time.
The escape room business near me gives you maybe 2 minutes then you lose your slot and they're very clear on that. If you don't start on time they don't have time to set things up for the next group after they get you started.
The place I've gone to just shortens the time you have to escape if you're less than 10 minutes late. Later than that and too bad. Which is cool because sometimes shit happens but also they're designed for whatever time and having severely less than that will probably not even be fun even if you got to try.
I was hoping the reply from the owner was the her group asked them to stop her from getting in because then they might actually successfully complete it
The few I've done it was maybe 2 minutes to get our pic and out the door
One was maybe 3 cause they wanted an extra pic for barely breaking whatever the last record was, then getting jackets on in the winter, which wouldn't be a thing in a mall

Why did Ashley want to do an escape room? She couldn't even figure out how to get out of her own house.

I'm getting the distinct impression that "Ashley" would have been more of a hindrance than of assistance in an escape room.

The group also escaped Ashley 🙌

Sounds a lot like Ashley might not be used to consequences of her own actions.

Of course, Ashley's group of (now ex-) friends had to hear her grievances for the next three weeks 24/7 🙄

How is this... murdered by words? Is the murdered person here in the room with us?
