A: What happened? Where
have you been? I've been waiting here for ages— didn’t even bother to
inform?
B: Sorry. I was busy in
a meeting which was delayed, we started late and it went on for quite some time.
Finally when I was about to leave Boss asked me to draft a letter. Then the
traffic was dreadful, which took almost twice as long as usual.
A: I hate waiting. It's
such a waste of time and effort. It's not worth it at all.
B: I said I'm sorry.
You need not go on about it. It was not deliberate.
A: If it happens once
more, I'm not going for any movie with you. I'll find someone else. Is that OK?
B: I feel you are
overreacting. It wasn't my fault that the traffic was bad and that the meeting
started late. And why always me? What about the time you came in late...?

A: Where were you? I've
been waiting since an hour? I was just about to leave.
B: I'm sorry to be
late. The meeting started late, but well, I guess I should have tried to leave
earlier.
A: I just hate waiting,
it's such a waste of time and effort.
B: I'm really sorry. It
won't happen again.
A: If you can't promise
to be on time, I'm not going for any morie with you ever. I will find someone
else.
B: I'm so sorry to have
upset you. Please don't do that just because I got delayed once. Please try to
view it from my point of view. It gets very difficult to leave important
meetings early.
A: But you promised you
would come on time, and we missed the show.
B: In principle you are
right, and I am normally on time, but you must understand it’s not always
possible. There are so many factors. We are all late sometimes, aren't we?
A: Yes, I guess
sometimes and there isn't much I can do about it.
B: Thanks for accepting
my view. Now let's go and watch the next show, OK?
A: OK
