0Today, I went to the airport to pick up my girlfriend. This time, I left home 20 minutes earlier than I usually did, which was around 40 minutes. 02br
00So, I thought to myself, "There's no way she's going to be waiting for me. I'll be there waiting even before02br
00the flight attendants announce landing." Feeling confident and enjoying every moment the thought crossed my mind, I came to 5 miles away from the airport when I received a phone call. The first thought was the customer service guy who'd failed numerous times trying to fix my laptop, trying to beg for more repair time. Picking up the phone, a female's voice with an excited tone said, "02br
00Hi Honey, where are you now? I can't wait another minute to see you." 02br
02br
00Are there any mistakes!02br
02br
00Thanks in advance!0-
