If someone said "mid to late morning" to you, what time would you think that was?

[OhamIreally]

Making contact arrangements with ex for after Christmas (so not imminently firming up plans IYSWIM).
Told ex I would be able to drop off at a mid-way point mid-late morning.
He's now asked for a "rough time" so he can plan his departure time.

AIBU that I have already give a rough time?

11

Just give him a time?

Mid to late morning for me would be 10-11
Personally I don’t think you have given a time,I would prefer someone to say a time rather than mid-late morning because that can differ

@Chasingsquirrels

In those specific circumstances I'd want a time, never mind a rough time.

Agree. He needs to know exactly when to meet you and there is no reason why you cannot say when and update if any unforeseen delay

Goodness me you seem determined to make out everyone is being awful to you.

All he's asking is for a time. He doesn't want it down to the minute or second, he just wants a rough time. Not a wishy washy statement which the thread has proven means different things to different people.

This ^
I love a lie in, so my morning might not even start until other folk have been up 3 or 4 hours.
As has been said, no-one is asking you for a precise, on the dot, exact minute. He is checking with you what you have in your mind when you say 'mid-late morning', as it is clear that means different things to different people. He isn't insisting you change the time, just give him an idea of what time you are talking about.
So yes, YABU and unnecessarily awkward.

I would think around 11am

10 - 11

11 onwards

You are meeting at a midway point so yes it is reasonable to want an exact time. Do you really think it is fair on Christmas day for him to be waiting for hours not know exactly what time you mean?

11/ 1130

9-11.30

Early would be 7-9
Mid would be 9-10
Late would be 10-11.55

10 or 11

10 - 11

10.15-11.45 but it all depends on the individual how early they get up etc.

11 ish . It's not a casual , social thing like dropping in for coffee when you're passing , so I'd want a specific time. Being vague isn't very organised or considerate if it's a regular thing that needs to happen. It's going to lead to mis communications ,& cock ups.

you do sound passive aggressive.
bit silly really.

11 to 11.30am

10 is not mid morning

10.30-11.45

11-11.30

@backtolifebacktoreality

11 to 11.30am

10 is not mid morning

Depends what time you get up. I'm up between 6 and 7 so it is mid morning to me.

YAB an arse U but I expect you know this as you’ve turned off voting. Give the bloke a more specific time. I’d be pissed off if someone expected me to hang around for a vague window between 10am and midday

@backtolifebacktoreality

11 to 11.30am

10 is not mid morning

It is, if you get up before, say 7:30.

By your reckoning, 10:45 would be early morning? I know it varies from person to person, but that sounds pretty odd.

I hate vague times like this, he's perfectly reasonable to want an actual time!

Between 11/12
But really he should give you a time.

I'd think about 11am, but I would also ask for clarification on a time. Why wouldn't you tell.him if you've got a time in mind and if you haven't, then you haven't given him a time. (If even you don't know what you mean).
