Would waiting half an hour piss you off?

For someone to go into a changing room and not come out for 30 minutes and then not even acknowledge they’ve taken that long?

(Person is an adult not a child for relevance)

Sorry, myself and colleague? What does that mean? Do you mean, “My colleague and I?”

You genuinely can't work out what that means or are you just being a bitch?

IncompleteSenten · 07/04/2024 22:44

OP I wouldn't have waited half an hour and I don't think you should have. Ten minutes and I'd have been going back into the shop and calling out next to the changing room x are you going to be a while? I'm heading to such and such...

My guess is too thick to work it out.

10mins and I would have gone in to check on them.

Mind wandering to Friends Ross and the talcum powder scene 🤣

I definitely would have called out into the changing rooms 'hey sue I'm going to sit in the cafe next door for a sandwich I'll see you there' etc. I wouldn't have waited for 30 mins

There is absolutely no need for you to apologise on MN for being a bit thick. Flowers

It is a very supportive environment...usually...populated mostly by women who do not ridicule or undermine one another. Only a small number of posters here will make pathetic jibes at you so don't you worry about being baffled. I'm sure you can't help it.

Maybe she got stuck and was too embarrassed to say anything.

BusyMummy001 · 07/04/2024 23:48

I’d have been pissed off (and probably have left), but I am actually more curious as to WTF she was doing for 30mins!!

Maybe she was abducted by aliens, hence unaware of the time lost? Or was her changing cubicle like the wardrobe in Narnia? Weird…

Frangipanyoul8r · 08/04/2024 00:43

There’s no way I would have wasted half an hour of precious lunch time sat on a bench waiting for someone. I’d have gone back in and said you were heading off. Maybe she thought you needed some time for your call.

🙄 you don't come across as superior or smart, just as someone with poor comprehension skills or poor interpersonal skills

No she didn’t.

So what did you say when she appeared?

RogueFemale · 08/04/2024 01:03

Yes, it would've pissed me off, - but - I wouldn't have waited that long, I'd have gone by 15mins. After starting to think about it after 10 mins. And/or I'd have gone into the changing rooms at 15 mins to say sorry, I'm off. I wouldn't have sat there for half an hour waiting.

I was thinking more like Mr Benn, maybe each clothing item she tried on took her to a different place?

MarjorieStuartBaxter · 08/04/2024 01:16

You said you were going to make a phonecall...maybe she thought she would take her time?..maybe she had a phonecall? Why not just say "what the fuck were you doing in there?" Maybe she has some sort of disability slowing her down getting dressed? Maybe she had multiple layers to get on and off?...maybe she got stuck in one of the tops? Or even got locked in the changing room and she was calling out for you but selfishly you were sat on a bench for half an hour?

Oooh or maybe she thought you'd fucked off so mooched around the shop a bit longer so many possibilities right there.
