Last night I went out for dinner with a friend. We had some interest in hitting up a movie, but decided not to rush just to make it.
As it turned out, credit cards were replaced in wallets JUST 10 minutes after the start time.
I have similar apprehensions about tonight's scheduled haircut.
The "just missed it" problem is bad enough for things like movies, which are optional, but the necessity missings are far worse. Watching a bus or train pull away as you run awkwardly to reach it, for example. Or rushing through the airport like some lame "Home Alone" sequel only to arrive at the gate panting, clammy, and not legally able to board.
Then there's when friends (or radio stations) are giving away freebies, the times you're in line at the coffee shop and see the last sample-bite of cookie or cake eaten in front of your very eyes, the trips to the diamond store when you just miss their promotional jewelry giveaways.
Okay, that last one might be wishful thinking, but the point remains: I would hate to "just miss" it.
