DP is in a senior leadership position with a physics and maths background. He’s going to an event today that’s 2 hours away with some of his friend. He was making all the arrangements, bought the tickets etc, and he told them to arrive at our house at 7am. As he was grumbling to himself about why he had set such an early group start on a Sunday morning he said “I should have said we should leave at 8 but then we wouldn’t arrive till 11am”.
I am not my most alert in the mornings, and neither am I very good at maths, but even I could work out that his timing was out and an 8am start would have them there by 10am. So now they are going to arrive an hour before the place opens.
I can’t quite gauge the mood of his friends since I’ve stayed snuggled in bed, but he told me breakfast is on him (if they can find anywhere open at this time).
I’m not sure if he will live this down.
