Switch to Plan B

[kerravonsen]

I have been admiring my brother's planning ability of yesterday. From it, I have now derived three simple rules for planning a rendezvous:

1. Agree on a time and landmark at which to meet.
   
2. Agree on a time when both parties will switch to Plan B.
   
3. Have a Plan B.
   This can be as simple as "don't meet".
   

For example, from yesterday:

1. Meet at the Flinders St. Station clocks at 10:10am.
   
2. If we haven't met by 10:45, switch to Plan B.
   
3. Plan B: don't meet.
   

And the other example from yesterday:

1. Meet in Chavel St, near the corner of Chavel and Elliot St (one block away from Gate 3 of the Showgrounds) at 3pm.
   
2. If we haven't met by 3:30pm, switch to Plan B.
   
3. Take niece home with you, and call this number. We will pick her up from your house.
   

Isn't that a well-planned plan? Most people only do step 1.
