Arguing the Semantics

Colleague threw me off today. she's done that a couple of times before, but was okay but this time, a bit bua tahan.

Was trying to arrange a game of mj this sat. On mon, she said to count her in and she doesnt mind playing if we lack 1 kar.. then today, i told we confim, and she asks when, where which i told her. So I thought all was well, until she told me dont confirm her cos not sure if she can get the car, and the location is v far for her.. so i just mentioned i confirmed her liao, and she said she never said she can confirm..

Wah lau, does it make sense? How to make sense of someone who says count her in, but dont confirmed? But chop and stamp, hook little finger, is it? I'm not so inflexible that she cannot pull out, but she cannot say she never said don't include her. As colls, i dont want to argue the semantics with her.

But. How will we know for sure when someone is saying what they mean?
Can't they just say Oops, sorry?
