This is kind of a funny story that makes me laugh every time I think of it. Well, I was in Toronto that day and had a layover between flights because it’s not a direct flight. I’d arrived at about 6 pm, and my flight out wasn’t until about eight thirty. Well, my flight was delayed. What’s worse, it got really crowded at the departure gate, people waiting in a long line. I was getting tired, and there were so many people around—I hate crowds—it got me dizzy, so I went to sit away from the departure gate to escape the crowds and to have a rest for a while. I was reading my newspaper, eating chocolate, feeling drowsy, and then...the next thing I know, I wake up and there’s no one around! The crowd is gone! At first, I was very happy but later I found I’d fallen asleep and missed my flight! They must have made lots of announcements, and I missed them all! At that moment, I wanted to cry, you know, feeling helpless. Boy, did I feel stupid. Few people will do this like me. So I had to stay in Toronto overnight and catch a flight out the next morning. After this, I am sure I will never make the same mistake again.
