I was supposed to go over to a friend’s house for a late lunch this afternoon. We set this up last week and confirmed by email yesterday. But when I got there, no one was home! The doors were locked, the roller shades were pulled down, and the place looked deserted.
I waited on the porch for about 20 minutes while trying to reach my friend on her cell phone. Nothing. So I just left. Then, as I was driving home, I got a text saying she was sorry but she forgot all about the lunch.
Hmm, sounds a bit fishy to me. She’s not the kind of person who forgets things like this, so I’m thinking she just stood me up. Maybe she had a better offer or just had a ton of things to do today. Whatever it was, I highly doubt that she simply “forgot”.
