Me: Going home now. [SDR]<br />2. Julia: We'll be at a grocery store soon, should I pick you up at station A?<br />3. Me: No, thanks, I'll exit at station B and walk home. [SD]<br />4. Me: I'll be there in 30 minutes. [S]<br />5. Me: I'll text you if something happens with the train. []<br /><br />Julia's view:<br />1. Alex: Going home now.<br />2. Me: We'll be at a grocery store soon, should I pick you up at station A? [SDR]<br />3. Alex: I'll be there in 30 minutes.<br />4. Me: I am waiting, where are you? [S]<br />5. Me: FindMy shows you at station B, why? [S]<br />6, 7, 8, 9<br /><br />I was considering sending an SMS, but as my 3. was shown as delivered, I did not expect Julia to receive my message 4. only, but not 3. I should probably switch to WhatsApp.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=izard&ditemid=280360" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
