Getting stood up because of a text message typo

I was supposed to meet a friend for coffee last week, but they never showed up. Turns out they misread my text about the time, thinking it was an hour later. Back in the day, we would have called to confirm, so this kind of mix-up was rare. Now, everyone just shoots off quick texts, and it's so easy for things to get lost in translation. I remember when making plans meant talking on the home phone and actually hearing each other's voices. It felt more solid and less likely to go wrong. This whole mess just left me a bit annoyed and missing the old way of doing things.
