There have been many times when misunderstandings happen because of communication problems. A recent one that I have experienced is when I had to go to a track meet early a couple weeks ago and me and one of my friends were driving down to Knowles in the morning before the meet so we didn’t have to walk. And another friend named Sophie asked for a ride also. We told her that we would pick her up at 6:30. So the next morning we went to go pick her up from her dorm and she wasn’t there. We waited for a little bit and then we got worried because the bus was supposed to leave at 7am and they don’t wait for anyone. We waited for about 5 mins, then called her. She wasn’t even awake yet! She thought the bus didn’t leave till 8 in the morning and she thought we were going to be there at 7:30. I don’t know how she got messed up but sometimes she just isn’t the best listener. So anyways we woke her up and she got everything ready in time and we just got down to the track just at 7 and we left on the bus. Things like that can be a problem because if we were late we could have missed the bus and that would have caused a big problem for not only us but the rest of the track team.
Have you ever been late or almost late to something important because you got the time wrong or some miscommunication between people?
I have always had the tendency to be super early to everything except the one time I had the wrong time was for our high school graduation ceremony! Yah..we were supposed to be at our meeting place an hour before I actually showed up. Good thing I showed up just in time to walk! Just my luck!
ReplyDeleteI am like Ellen, I am always early to everything and I guess that is because my dad was in the military for 20 years. We were always half an hour early for everything. Now that I am in college I find myself getting to class early usually, I am rarely ever late. My boyfriend on the otherhand, comes from a pretty disfunctional family and they are late to almost everything (there are five boys) it drives me nuts, but I am pretty good at keeping him on time.
