So, last night a friend of mine went to her first day of work in the city. She's... a bit disadvantaged, to put it kindly - no car of her own, and the public transit doesn't go anywhere near her place. For reasons not known to me, her day was from 1 PM to roughly 9 PM.

As I was busy with my own work, I'd lent her money to get an Uber to get to work, but I'd intended to pick her up from the office to take her home. I arrive roughly 9:04 PM, and parked immediately outside the elevator lobby for the building she was in. I call up, she says she'll be out in 5 minutes.

5 minutes pass... 10 minutes... give her a text poke at 13 minutes (9:17 PM) with no response. 20 minutes... 25 minutes (9:29 PM) another poke. I'd finally gotten a response at 28 minutes, saying she's just finishing something up. Alright, fine, and I re-iterate over text I'm waiting for her outside the elevator lobby.

35 minutes. 40 minutes. 43 minutes (9:47 PM), "do you see a green truck? I have 1% battery left but I'm standing by the green truck."

I start scanning the entire block the office's building is on, looking for a green truck. Running around the entire area, until 11:00 PM (almost two hours) trying to find her to no avail. Several calls and texts were sent her way in case she found an outlet, but nothing. Phone immediately went to a full voicemail inbox.

And so, I start heading home. By the time I was leaving the city and had no opportunity to turn around, I finally get a text back. "My phone died." I try to call, but she declines and texts back "I have 2%."

I just couldn't anymore. I headed home, admittedly angry that she couldn't use anything more concrete than a potentially mobile object to indicate where she was.

So Reddit. AITA here?
