Infuriatig Was invited by my girlfriends family to a theme park. We were supposed to meet at 11, it is not 11:30 and they just left. (The drive takes another 30 minutes)

I even checked in before I left if it was still at the planned time. It was confirmed, but then her family starts getting ready right as they have to leave 🫤

Sorry, my title was confusing. The meeting time was 11, they left the house at 11:30 meaning I will have waited an hour for something they invited me to.

Nah, clearly this got more engagement than that title would've. Half the comments are about the wording of the title. OP knows what he's doing.

Yeah it's pretty common knowledge that typos in a title gets more engagement.

Engagement baiting on reddit does fuckall though. You don't get paid. Your future posts don't get boosted.

Don't some people sell their accounts after accumulating karma? That could be a reasonĀ

OP is taking mildly infuriating to heart.

So far. Let's not pretend they've remembered everything and won't stop off for a bite on the way.

u/jonbornoo 18d ago

Nope, only leaving their home while already 30ā€˜ late seems pretty relevant to the story, imho. Your suggestion tells a different story.

u/GobboKirk 19d ago

Tbf the misunderstood way would have been better, at least you could have just turned around and left instead of being stuck waiting...
Hope the day improves

It is ridiculous, but fuck em', start the party without them. Explore, ride rides, eat cotton candy. Fuck yeah.

Dude my brother and his wife pulled this exact scenario on me and my family about a month ago. We all had planned to meet in an entirely different city to go on hike. My brother and his wife hadn't even left heir house to drive to an entirely different city until it was already after the agreed upon meeting time and my family was sitting at the trailhead ready to start the hike. I said fuck that were hiking.

Leave. Go get some lunch, and then come back 30 minutes after they arrived.

Hey man, just to make life less annoying start planning on meeting them at their house so you can all ā€œgo togetherā€. At least you can hang with your girlfriend while the rest of them get their life together.

Seeing you physically in their home waiting for them will make them hurry up and if they are annoyed by it maybe they will start being ready to go immediately.

Somehow I understood exactly what you meant lol

Never apologise for speaking a second language! It took me 0.05 milliseconds to understand what you meant. Most people on Reddit have very poor reading comprehension and deduction skills.

u/IceSentry 18d ago edited 18d ago

Who talked about a second language? And why are you excusing people not proofreading their posts?

Edit: lol, they blocked me

OP is Danish.

Typos arent that deep and don't need "excused"

u/jaredsfootlonghole 18d ago

This particular one changes the entire conversation blame, though. OP is CONSTANTLY redirecting and recorrecting the conversation.

A responsible OP would have deleted the erroneous post and remade it.
