Wwyd - late for meeting a friend

[wwysd]

I'm due to meet my friend at 9:30 but my washing doesn't finish for another 11 mins!

Leave the washing and get off mumsnet!

Is this an issue? Do you need your washing to finish so you can wear something to go out in (in which case wouldn't it be your drying?)

You know your friend and what you are meeting for. If she has already left home or you're booked to do an activity, leave the washing. If she is a bit more relaxed or lives closer and it's just a walk or casual coffee, give her a ring and push it back till 10am.

If I was your friend and on time, I would be annoyed if you had waited for your washing. My time is not less important than your washing.

Depends on what you're meant to be doing with friend. If we were meeting for a walk I would ask if we could delay by 15 mins or whatever and it would be fine.

If we were supposed to be somewhere like a meal then I would leave the washing.

You've only just realised you need to delay? Surely when you put the wash on you would have known it would take however long? I wouldn't be annoyed if you text me then to push it back, but texting 15min before you're due to meet isn't nice when you'd known for some time.

This isn’t something I would even think about. I happily leave the house whilst the washing machine is on.

just leave it!

If you kept me waiting nearly half an hour I'd be pissed off and the meeting up would be ruined. Leave the bloody washing.

You could perhaps not waste more time asking MN next time.

leave the washing

Washing is more important than your friend, yes?

Text your friend?

Why is this even a question? Go meet your friend.

How far away are you meeting her? Can she come to you? Would she have left yet? So many questions!

Leave the washing!

Is it her washing? I'm not sure why it's an issue if not.

Reverse?

Is it half term already ?

@FinallyFluid

Is it half term already ?

No, but lots of Year 11 finished last Friday.

Leave it

Is this serious? You don't mess people around like this.

my husband doesn't like to leave the washing machine running even if just for ten minutes at the end of the cycle so i can see him doing this

Huh?

I get a bit anxious about this sometimes too but I pause/stop the machine rather than expect someone else to give up their time for my poor organisation.
