Vaguely related story:
Back in the Olden Times before ubiquitous wifi and data plans, I had a friend cancel on me after I’d already gotten in the light rail to meet him an hour away. He didn’t call or text, just emailed, so I looked for him for almost an hour before giving up.
Turns out he’d emailed me then was at the hospital with a friend who’d gone into labor, and didn’t have his phone with him (so didn’t get my calls or texts).
My partner (who’d come with to meet my high school friend) and I had a good time in DC anyway. We went to a geeky bookstore and a nice cafe.
oof, that sucks.
