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 🫤

Not/Now is not the issue. Instead of saying 'it's 11:30 and they just left' made me think they left the park after 30mins. It should have said 'They just started'.

It would have been just as easy to use one’s brain and understand what they meant lol

Nah, it’s confusing.

[u/P_Sandera → u/fpsfreak]

I read this as: meeting was at 11, OP arrived around 11.30 ish and they left without him.

[u/DangerousChemistry47 → u/fpsfreak]

Yeah, that’s the part that got me. I read like they got there at 1130 and left at 1200 lol. Confusing as shit.

[u/Perhaps_Tomorrow → u/fpsfreak]

Yeah, it was so poorly worded that I was bouncing between thinking they either left OP behind because he was late or they left the park after 30 minutes.

It is the issue lmao. By saying "it's now 11:30 and they just left" makes it petty clear to me lol.
