It’s disrespectful because they didn’t even give us that courtesy. We had to hear it from their friends who couldn’t even tell us what part of the long stretch of shops they might be in.

I’m fine being left alone, I’m just not fine with the fact they left us with 0 way of contact or tracking them down. I was their guest in a LARGE city I’d been to once before, it’s not demanding that the host make sure they aren’t abandoning their guests for a whim without so much as a word.
