Is this a shitty thing to do?

DH had today off work, and needed the car. So he dropped me off at work (7mon car journey, 1hr+ walk along country lanes and hills) in morning and was to collect me at 4:30

I was looking every few minutes from around 4:20. My office looks onto the road.
It gets to 4:40, no sign. I WhatsApp him asking when he's due. Not read. I ring him, No answer. I start to get worried. Ring him on his work mobile, no answer. Eventually at 5:10, he WhatsApp me saying he was there are 4:25, and had waited 10 minutes, and then drove home...

I asked where he'd parked, because I had kept an eye out. He'd parked in the car park near reception, which is near my office, but you can't see it from there iyswim? (So how I was supposed to know he was there, is beyond me)

Reception was open and manned, so he could have asked them to ring me, as he didn't have his phone on him.

But no, he's being arsey because he thinks i should have been stood outside waiting for him at exactly 4:30...

Was that shitty of him to leave after 10 minutes?

Aworldofmyown · 30/10/2020 18:41

*shitty 😆

SavoyCabbage · 30/10/2020 18:41

Of course it was. Who does he think he is! A taxi.

Stripyhoglets1 · 30/10/2020 18:41

Yes. It was shitty. He could have gone into reception.
How did you get home?

SavoyCabbage · 30/10/2020 18:42

Do you believe him?

YorkieTheRabbit · 30/10/2020 18:42

Yes, why didn’t he just ring or message you to say where he was parked? Confused

Ulpo · 30/10/2020 18:43

It's shitty but i would have gone down at 4.30.

00100001 · 30/10/2020 18:43

He didn't ring/message because he'd left his phone at home by accident.

What bizarre behaviour from him Confused

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 30/10/2020 18:43

Yes! Why couldnt he have just phoned you and said 'im outside'?! Bizarre behaviour tbh

slipperywhensparticus · 30/10/2020 18:43

So you walked home? Because he was being a twat?

SierraHotel · 30/10/2020 18:44

Yes it was shitty! It's not like you would have made your own way home is it, you were obviously still there. I would be fuming. How did you get home?

OneofPansPeople · 30/10/2020 18:44

Bloody Hell that's appalling.

00100001 · 30/10/2020 18:44

No, he came and picked me up again. Sorry.

What a twat he is OP. Hope he came back for you.

magicstar1 · 30/10/2020 18:44

I hope he came back for you?

CastleOfDoom · 30/10/2020 18:44

Well I'd be annoyed with him. Why couldn't he get out of the car and stand where you could see him?

CodenameVillanelle · 30/10/2020 18:44

Unbelievably shitty. What an absolute wanker.

islockdownoveryet · 30/10/2020 18:45

I'd be fuming , why didn't he ring you ?
Message , WhatsApp?
Hey I'm outside then you'd message back I'll be 2 mins .
It's a normal conversation happens everyday not sure why you dh didn't think to do this .
I've not said this before but LTB Grin

Martinisarebetterdirty · 30/10/2020 18:45

X post! Good! He owes you an apology too.

CodenameVillanelle · 30/10/2020 18:45

Ok so he came back - maybe just a total div rather than a complete wanker. Was he apologetic?

islockdownoveryet · 30/10/2020 18:46

@00100001

He didn't ring/message because he'd left his phone at home by accident.
Well that's his own bloody fault like you said go into reception lazy sod .
00100001 · 30/10/2020 18:46

I'm pissed off because I was worried about him being "missing" was I thought something bad had happened and tried to get hold of him.
And his reaction for me being "missing" is to fuck off and cop the strop Angry

Batshittery · 30/10/2020 18:47

Tbh, I would have been waiting outside/at reception for him. You knew he was coming at 4.30. By the same chalk, he must have known you were still there unless you get lifts from a colleague?

islockdownoveryet · 30/10/2020 18:47

@00100001

No, he came and picked me up again. Sorry.
So drama over Hmm
