A friend picked a movie to see across town during rush hour & then left cause I was 10 min late!

She works down the street from the theater and thinking she was already inside paid %26amp; watched a movie I didn't want to see in the first place! Now she thinks I owe her an apology...I think 10 min between friends should be understood , Am I wrong or is she??

she is wrong. she should understand that a theater all the way across town during RUSH HOUR would take longer then usual. so there is no reason to get upset over it.

OK it sounds like your friend really did not take into account that you would have to try to get through rush hour traffic and that seems a little bit callous to me. Does she know where you work at and how long of a drive you would have to make in order to get there? Maybe one of you should have called to either ask the other what was going on. I don't know that you really owe her an apology, but perhaps bury the hatchet by explaining the situation and agreeing how such an incident can be avoided in the future by either calling to let the other person know what's going on or by coming up with a midway point where you two can meet after work.
Couple of things here:

First of all, the movie showing selected should have allowed you BOTH ample time to get to the theater. After all, most people do meet before a movie. So I'd call that a bit crazy on her part.

Second, when committing to meet for something, you should always check to make sure you can reasonably make the time. You might not have been given the time beforehand. If you were, then part of this is on you. You should have declined and said, I can't make that time. But again, only if the time and location was agreed on.

Third, she saw the movie. An apology would be required if you turned back and went home, and never showed up or called. But she went and was entertained, while you missed out fighting traffic. Don't believe she has a leg to stand on here.

Edit: Hey Stacy! That is a pickle.

Well, I would apologize, if I were you, for going in without her. It was a misunderstanding, and she made some pretty selfish choices here....

But if you agreed to meet her for the movie, arrived late, and then went in without her, I'd say it's on you to apologize. (And also on you to beware of what time and movie she wants to see!)

She should apologize, too (for inviting you for not finding out if you even wanted to see the movie!), but friends should never consider apologies necessary. They're just good to have from each other now and then. = )
