Completely underatandable!
the guy just said he was closing in 8 minutes, did not advise me of any other traffic didn't even tell me how he'd like me to fly thje pattern (assuming there was traffic already in the pattern) so I could get in the flow with them. and definitely closed early as I was turning short final with at least 2 or 3 minutes to spare.
I can understand the legal aspect of it. and I can definitely understand wanting to get out of there after a long day, but a little common courtesy as long as he's on the freq anyway would have been nice. (traffic, pattern entry instruction, etc...)
