Yesterday colleague rang me asking if I wanted to grab a drink at 7 pm before going to a work event. I reluctantly said sure ( I wanted to have plenty of time to travel without time pressure). It takes about 1hr 30 mins to get to Manchester from my house, this colleague is based there.
At around 5 I was pulled into an emergency meeting. I texted colleague and told her to make her own way to event/have a drink without me. My colleague insisted we had plenty of time and to continue with the plan but at a slightly later time. As I got on the train I rang colleague and gave my estimated ETA.
During the journey, I texted my colleague that the train was delayed due to signal failure. I once again apologised and said suggested she make her own way to the event. At this point she tells me (via text) she needs to use my phone to ring our other colleague to get explicit directions.
As I make my way to the event space I tell my colleague that my phone is also dying and that I was 5 mins away from train station. No response.
I walk past our meeting spot (slightly late) and do not see her. Decide to make my way to the event.
When I get there I don't see my colleague but charge my phone and try to contact her - no luck - realise her phone has died. I ask the other colleague to also keep ringing her.
On my way home I get quite a passive-aggressive text where she tells me she went home as she got tired of waiting in the cold. Was I in the wrong?
The colleague had the address and the colleague who was already at the event told me she had told her she was familiar with the street/area.
