I was a piano technician for a while, and my boss lived in another town. He gave me shit a couple of times for being <5 minutes late after a two-hour drive; yelling at me that, “If you can’t be on time, then don’t on my clock!” as some kind of a threat to my job.

So, I was scheduled to meet him at a client’s house to move and tune a piano; I waited until exactly the time we were scheduled to meet, and then left— I had a booty call around the corner anyway, and THAT’S was GREAT! 😁

Apparently he showed up a few minutes late and was PISSED that I wasn’t there. I told him later that I had been there, waited until the appointed time, and figured that the appointment had been called off since “no one showed up by the scheduled start time, so I left”. 😝

I found another profession, and I don’t think the old fart leaned a damn thing. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
