Ooops.

 

Well 3 days into the new term and I think I managed to upset the escort this morning (which is pretty good going for me).

Taxi (according to official letter) is due between 8:00-8:30.

 

Arrives this morning at 9.

 

I jokingly say "I thought you'd forgotten us!" whilst smiling.

 

Escort (frowny/grumpy face) "I've had to travel from the other side of the city!"

 

Me taking this as a sign she made need help planning explains how when I was working in London (or nearer) I use timetables/watches/etc to assure I'm on time and how useful these skills/tools can be.

 

Luckily I was trying to have some humorous 'bants' instead of pointing out that transport rules only allow a 3 minute waiting time for the taxi, if you're over that it drives off and is cancelled and how I was confused that this rule about time-keeping doesn't go both ways or is maybe even a wee bit relaxed.

 

Only I did.

 

Sometimes I forget that non-Autistic folk struggle in social situations. Maybe I should be more sensitive in future.

 

Nah.
