Around 2008 whenever me and exH went abroad we left our phones with my parents at home and got them back when they picked us up from the airport.It wasn't a thing back then to constantly need your phone iirc.
Anyway,it was a really good week away apart from whenever we tried to get lunch in the hotel it was closed so we shrugged and went elsewhere each day.We met a nice couple and arranged to meet up for drinks at a set time but they arrived 40 mins late,bit rude but we didn't say anything.They were also very late the following night.
On the day of leaving we were waiting ages for the coach to pick us up even though we got there at the arranged time.
On the plane home we double checked the time with the air steward to adjust ExH watch to the time at home and found out his watch had been 40 min late ALL holiday and we were totally oblivious.Stupid of us or does this show how mistakes can happen when you're not glued to something with a clock on it? 🤣
