I must confess that waiting for someone for a long time is something I am never fond of, particularly if this person is supposed to arrive at a time that we both agreed upon. This topic reminds me of a time when I had to wait for my best buddy John at a park near my home, and he showed up at least 2 hours later than he was supposed to. It was about a year ago when John invited me to visit his hometown during our semester break. I convinced my parents that I would go to John's hometown for only a couple of days just to refresh myself and enjoy the beauty of a suburban area.
