had a similar one with my boss...
meeting in Chateau Neercanne, about 230 km from my house, 150 from his place

him : you know the meeting starts at 830 sharp, you sure you're not coming the night before and stay in the hotel?
me : nah, it'll be a fun drive
him : what time will you be leaving the house?
me : about seven'ish
him : hold on , serious now, what time . will you. be departing at your house
me : like i said, not before seven o'clock
him : whatever, i'm saying it again, the meeting starts at 8h30 sharp, you better not be late

FFW 2 days later, at 8h20

me (ringing the boss): I'm here, where are you
him :at the hotel, what time did you leave
me : like i said, about seven'ish, how far is your hotel? it's almost 8h30
