Have you ever tried making plans with someone and had them be completely screwed up because of a miscommunication? Well I have. Last week my friend Katie and I wanted to go shopping for our friend Kaylee's birthday. I told her to meet me at the mall on Tuesday at 6. We wanted to go to the really nice mall which was about 40 minutes from my house. I drove all the way to the mall and she wasn't at our usual meeting place. I walked around a few different spots looking but I couldn't find her. It was only 6:15, and Katie is always late so I wasn't too concerned just yet. I went to our favorite store and began to shop for Kaylee. I looked down at my phone, realized I had no missed calls or texts, and saw that it was already 6:45! I grabbed my phone and called Katie.
"Where are you?" I asked.
"At home, doing some homework and eating. Where are you?" She responded calmly.
"Uhm...the mall! Like we planned!"
"Wait, we said we were meeting next Tuesday...the 6th!"
This whole time I had meant that we were meeting at 6 pm and she thought I meant we were meeting next Tuesday, which was the 6th. At this moment I realized I was going to have to start being a lot more specific when making plans because miscommunications can really ruin your plans!
