we got stood up!

We were supposed to meet a couple at their home about 20 minutes away from where we currently live. We got there a few minutes before our scheduled appointment, and they weren't home. We waited 45 minutes and they never showed up. We called three or four times. It looked like their television was on in one of the side rooms, but they never answered the door. Their dogs were barking really loudly and we rang the doorbell and banged on the door, but no answer. Lovely.
