Be in the gym at 11. Guessing that didn't happen?

WisestIsShe · 31/10/2021 10:47

Depends whether we lived in the same house? If yes, then leave together at 11. If no, then meet there at 11.

Drivingmisspotty · 31/10/2021 10:47

Depends if you live with them or not.

If you live together (or are travelling together) leave at 11.

If you are meeting them there, meet at 11.

At the gym for 11

SlugRose · 31/10/2021 10:47

Do you live with the person?

If not then I'd expect to meet at the gym for 11.
If you do then I'd expect to leave with then at 11.

My instinct was that we’d be going to the gym at 11 - but to be fair, only if it was my husband or someone I’d travel with.

If I was meeting someone there; I’d be there for 11, as I wouldn’t expect them to tell me when they’d leave for the gym…

at the gym

clocks changing mix up?

TrickOrTreat21x · 31/10/2021 10:48

Leave to go to the gym at 11 if you live with them.

Meet at the gym at 11 if you don't.

Chloemol · 31/10/2021 10:49

If living together leave home at 11. If not living together and meeting at the gym, meet there at 11

R0tational · 31/10/2021 10:49

I would clarify or expect the person to.

Sorry should have clarified that, we are in the same house, leaving together.

Well it could be either really. No one is wrong and no one should be making a big deal of it. It's just two interpretations neither of which is incorrect.

TheSpiral · 31/10/2021 10:50

Leave at 11, if in same house

YellowandGreenToBeSeen · 31/10/2021 10:51

Leave at 11

Stickyblue1987 · 31/10/2021 10:51

As you live together then it means leave the house at 11.

SummerHouse · 31/10/2021 10:51

That said I would presume go as in leave at 11. I would personally say go to the gym FOR 11 if I meant to be there at that time.

Gncq · 31/10/2021 10:52

If DH "we'll go to the gym at 11" I'd assume leaving the house at 11.

Why anyway? If someone's late they should apologize, if it's differences in interpreting a message then no one's at fault.

OhMyfanwy · 31/10/2021 10:52

Leave at 11

SlugRose · 31/10/2021 10:52

@AndTime

Sorry should have clarified that, we are in the same house, leaving together.
Ready to go for 11ish then.
Thethreecs · 31/10/2021 10:53

Go to, I'd use this to say I'll leave at 11

Be there for/be at, I would use to actually be there at.

Shoxfordian · 31/10/2021 10:54

Leave at 11

KatherineJaneway · 31/10/2021 10:54

I'd expect to leave to go to the gym at 11am

We agreed yesterday to go to the gym at 11 so I was pottering about aiming to be ready to leave at 11.

BF gets all huffy saying great I will have to eat again. Apparently we should be at gym at 11 and he has an errand to run on the way.

Gncq · 31/10/2021 10:55

Yeah you'd say "go to the gym for 11" if you wanted to be there at 11. Or "let's get to the gym by 11".
Anyway you'd say something else other than what you've put.

Gncq · 31/10/2021 10:55

Grin he has to eat at 11?
