This story illustrates the importance of keeping to arrangements to avoid unnecessary panics. According to BBC News two hillwalkers failed to keep a rendezvous with another group. Their concerned friends raised the alarm and the Torridon Mountain Rescue Team spent three days looking for them although they were safe and well and oblivious to the concern they had caused. I bet the walkers are feeling pretty stupid at the moment, although I suspect it's all too easily done.
