Or you go out with a friend to do something planned, and they suddenly have a couple extra stops to make or people to talk to etc that weren’t in your social energy budget so you’re left running an unplanned deficit
My wife does this kind of thing so much, “One More Thing.” No! I was told that we would do Thing A and Thing B, and then be on the way home by Time O’Clock!
I may just cancel or leave when that happens. Kinda funny since my friend brought this up today. Not quite the same but in the same ballpark. Not too long ago I was on the way to my friend’s house to go see a movie with them. They changed plans while I was on the way to them and wanted to meet at the theater instead. I just went home.
Sounds stupid when typed out but that was like the 4th or 5th time plans had changed that day and it was just too much for me. It’s very uncommon for that to happen to me.

AND NOW IT’S TIME THIRTY AND I’M GRUMPY!
By Time Forty-Five, I’m just sitting in the car waiting for people to get in it.
