We both had assumed that just because we were offered 7:30 a.m. that had to mean that was the last time for everyone.

Well, you applied a heuristic (assuming that everyone else had the same experience you did), and the heuristic turned out to be wrong in this case. One of the following must be true:

  • This heuristic isn't a good heuristic to follow in general.
  • This heuristic is good to follow in general, but there's something that should have indicated it would be wrong here.
  • This heuristic is good to follow in general, and there isn't something that should have indicated it would be wrong here.

I'd start by figuring out which one it is.
