For the last few years, I and a group of friends (in the loosest definition of the word - tri-annual acquaintances would be more fitting) make plans to get together for Christmas.
Nothing too fancy. We visit Winter Wonderland and then go for drinks afterwards.
It's a mickey-mouse operation in all honesty. Ramble for 10 minutes, wait for the stragglers, ramble some more, make phone calls to find out who disappeared, repeat as necessary.
Anyway, the numbers were quite thin this year. The plan was to meet at 6pm at the underground station and then proceed inside.
I arrived promptly and found 3 others. 3 more were on the way so it was a given that we'd stick around until they arrived.
What wasn't a given was that we'd be waiting for an hour and twenty minutes.
At this point I declared that I'd had enough and proceeded to fuck off home.
I got a phone call on the way asking where I'd gone. I said that I wasn't going to wait around any longer with my thumb up my ass and that I had better things to do.
If you found yourself in a similar situation would you have done the same or would you have stuck it out?
