To Keep Your Girlfriend Then Keep To Time

(I normally commute home on the train and then drive back from the train station, but today my friend at work is having a goodbye party, so I get a ride to work from my dad. I’ve arranged with my boyfriend that he will pick me up that night and I’ll stay at his house.)

Me: *texting* “Sorry, this is going a bit later than I thought. I’ll leave soon, though.”

Boyfriend: “No worries, I’m just cleaning up around the house.”

Me: *a bit later* “Okay, I left and I’ll probably catch the train that gets in at [time]. Is that good?”

Boyfriend: “Yup, I’ll be there!”

(I get to the train station about two minutes later than the schedule says, but I don’t see my boyfriend’s car. I call him, assuming he’s driving, and he answers.)

Boyfriend: “Hey, babe, what’s up?”

Me: “Hey, I’m at the station.”

Boyfriend: “Oh, s***! Didn’t you say [time 15 minutes later]? I must have reversed the numbers!”

Me: “No, I said [original time]. It doesn’t have any of the same numbers…”

Boyfriend: “Oh… I guess I just made that up, then.”
