R: Hey, Abby! Sorry to keep you waiting. I locked my keys in my
office along with my wallet and cell phone, so I had to go and
get the security guard to open the door for me.

A: You locked your keys in your office again? That’s the third
time this month you’ve done that.

R: I keep forgetting about the new auto-lock system they’ve
installed in our building. It’s fine during work hours when
everybody is there and the doors are left open, but in the
weekends, the doors are kept closed so you need a key to get in.
I was running late to meet you, and was in such a hurry that
I went out to the washroom without taking my key with me.

A: How embarrassing! Mind you, these things always happen when
you’re in a rush, don’t they? I remember the time I was
running late for my friend’s wedding and managed to drive
halfway to the church before realizing I still had my
slippers on!

R: No way! Now that’s embarrassing!
