I was on my way to a restaurant to meet my date for dinner when I hit a traffic jam. I saw that the road was congested, but since I had to take the bridge to reach downtown, I had no choice but to stay on that road.



The traffic was bumper-to-bumper. One crazy driver even tried to drive on the shoulder to get around the backup. But as it turns out, there wasn’t any way to bypass 1 it because the backup wasn’t due to an accident, a stalled 2 car or some rubberneckers. It was because of road construction and only one lane was open.



After 25 minutes of stop-and-go traffic, I was at my wit’s end. My date was sitting at the restaurant waiting for me and I didn’t have her cell phone number. What’s more, I was really hungry.



Finally, I got past the road construction and was on my way again. I drove a little recklessly 3, but I had to make up for lost time. I really liked this girl. The last thing I wanted was to make her think that I stood her up!
