To think sometime after 3pm means just that...

I had made text arrangements to pop round to a friends to drop something in to them. Checked when they would be available in the afternoon. They said lunch time or from 3pm onwards. I replied saying it would be after 3pm sometime and I would give them a shout before I popped up. They said fine, see you tomorrow.

3.15pm I get a call asking where I am. I wouldn't have minded if they decided to pop out and was just letting me know etc. But it was along the lines of 'I always go out at 3.45pm on a Sunday, why aren't you here yet?'. If that were the case, why not say over the text they would be in between 3pm and 3.45pm? I hate being made to feel like I am holding someone back/putting them out, when they never made the situation clear.

AIBU?

I'd just throw back at them what the said, anytime after three. People like that make me arsey.

Ah good, thanks. You know sometimes you doubt yourself. It was actually MIL but perhaps wrongly, I kept that out the OP as it always tends to polarise people!

Ah! In that case, she probably wasn't listening properly in the first place!
