Wow. Just wow. I'd feel deeply ashamed if I mis-estimated traffic and was 30 minutes late--ashamed enough that I wouldn't ever ask again. 10+ hours late! Wow.
I think we were 15 minutes late picking up our kids once from a friend's house (who also had kids). We were at a parents-only school program. 30 minutes before our pickup time (and 15 minutes before the program was to be over) we texted that it appeared the program might run long. Then they got a text when the program did end (10 minutes late). Then we misjudged getting out of the school parking lot (an extra 5 minutes and another text). I think we're okay, but we still haven't asked them to watch our kids since.
