His Friend Asked Him To Drive Her To A Seminar, But When She Didn’t Get In The Car On Time, He Drove Off And Left Her Without A Ride
A 25-year-old guy has a female friend the same age as him who can never manage to be on time for anything in her life.
Regardless of whether she needs to be at something for work or for fun, she just can never be on time and ends up arriving at least 15 to 20 minutes later than she should.
His friend does not own a car, while he does, so he does give her rides a lot. He currently has a job at a local university, and his friend is completing her Ph.D. there, so it doesn’t bother him to give her a ride as it’s where he is going anyway.
The very last time that he drove her to work, she was 20 minutes late, and it, in turn, made him late for his job.
Although his friend is always saying sorry about being late, she does nothing to change her behavior.
“This week, she was supposed to give a seminar at the university which is a crucial part of her Ph.D. program,” he explained.
“She asked me if I could give her a ride to work that day. I told her sure, but that I was picking her up at 8 AM and she must be there exactly at 8 AM, and not a minute later. She chuckled, but I told her I wasn’t joking, and she promised that she will be there.”
“The morning of her seminar, I drove to her place and got there at 7:55, and texted her that I was here, and she told me should would be out in “just a minute.” At 8:00, there was no indication that she would come out (and she didn’t text anything), so at 8:01, I drove off.”
19 minutes after he left his friend’s house, she called him up, demanding to know where he was.

He informed his friend that he was serious when he said that he expected her to be ready by 8 a.m. sharp that morning, and since she was not, he left and went to work.
She absolutely lost it on him when she realized that he did leave her behind and would not be coming back to get her.
“She started screaming and crying over the phone and told me that she was having a hard time that morning and couldn’t be ready right at 8 AM,” he said.
“She then begged me to come back to pick up her, as her seminar is at 9 AM, and she needed to be at the school before then. I could’ve done it quick enough to pick her up and drop her off without affecting my work, but I decided I didn’t want to do that and told her that I won’t.”
“She was crying and hyperventilating at that point and said she’d promise to never be late for anything else again and reemphasized that this seminar was crucial for her Ph.D. and that she absolutely cannot miss it without severe consequence. I responded, “oh well,” and hung up. I then went about my day at work normally.”
He knows that he did have enough time in his day to leave work, pick her up, and get her to where she needed to be without it impacting him in a negative way, but instead, he wanted to teach her a lesson.
He’s hoping that this serves as her “wake-up call” to stop being late to absolutely everything in her life, and he’s wondering if it was too harsh of him to do this.
Would you have driven back to get her, or would you have also told her something along the lines of too bad, so sad?
