Garden Party at Buck House.  Nothing happened.  I did not have to apologise to HRH.  I was just one of thousands and thousands of strangers she meets every year.

My co-worker's daughter's wedding.  Nothing happened, except they were already halfway through their vows when I arrived.

Probably just a family dinner or something - Unless it's a casual party, then I'm usually fashionably late - but moreso I'm always on time or early for affairs, dinners and events - I like to plan so I don't have to rush.

Answer 13

A job interview, I was 15 minutes late, my watch stopped.

I didnt get the job, or the interview for than matter.
