Solo Lunch

On Tuesday I discovered that it is possible for two people to stand each other up at the same time.

Background
Me and Mum decided to meet for lunch at The Crumpet Club on the corner of Tuam Street and Durham street. We agreed to meet at 12:00 because I had to be back at work by 1:00 for a training session.

My Side of the Story
I left nice and early because I was hungry and ready for lunch. I arrived at The Crumpet Club at about 11:50 and went inside to get a table. Once inside, I texted Mum to let her know I had a table. Then I waited. The waitress asked if I wanted to order but I said I was waiting for someone. I tried calling Mum. No answer. I waited some more. I tried calling again. No answer. I even called her office. No answer. The waitress came over to check on me. She was nice but I said I would wait a little longer. And so I kept on waiting. I tried calling Mum a few more times. Still no answer. By now I was getting a little worried and very hungry. I called over the waitress and ordered my lunch hoping Mum would not be much longer. The food was great. I had two crumpets with spinach, cold smoked salmon, poached eggs and a chardonnay cream sauce. Still no sign of Mum. I left a message on her phone for her to call me ASAP and went back to work.
I had been stood up.

Mum’s Side of the Story
Mum claims she arrived at The Crumpet Club before 11:50. This is obviously a lie because if that was the case I would have seen her when I arrived. She waited outside for me for 25 minutes. In all this time she did not consider checking to see if I was inside. Additionally, she did not bring her cell phone to lunch – apparently she never takes it to lunch (what's the point in having a cell phone then?). Mum was not happy about waiting for so long so she left and ate lunch at Subway. She thinks that I should have left ‘our’ table to go and see if she was waiting outside.
Mum had also been stood up.

In conclusion, The Crumpet Club has really yummy food, and always decide exactly where to meet for a lunch date with your Mum.
