>I once got stood up for a round of interviews — I showed up, waited, emailed them multiple times to let them know I was there, and then 30 minutes later they wrote to me to ask if I could come in another day (rather than meeting me at the front desk where I was sitting). At the time I was just annoyed that they had wasted my time, but in retrospect, the real red flag there was that no one took responsibility — “there was a scheduling conflict” was as much as I got.
As to how you handled this particular situation, OP -- I think you handled it fine and I wouldn't worry too much. I think most of us would have been flummoxed by this person's extremely unusual behavior.
Repeating what I wrote then:
