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?
