Sorry We’re Late I Was Being A Little Shit Shirt
We arrived at the restaurant, ten minutes past our reservation time, flustered and out of breath. Our friends were already seated, and as we approached the table, we were met with a chorus of friendly, but teasing jabs.
“What happened to you guys?” one of our friends asked, grinning.
“Yeah, did you get lost?” another chimed in.
I could feel myself turning red as I sheepishly took my seat. I knew that I had caused us to be late, and I couldn’t help but feel guilty.

The truth was, Sorry We’re Late I Was Being A Little Shirt. I had woken up late that morning and spent way too long getting ready. I had insisted on stopping for a coffee on the way to the restaurant, even though my partner had warned me that we were cutting it close on time. And then, to top it all off, I had made us take a longer route to the restaurant, insisting that I knew a shortcut.
As we settled into our chairs, I could see the disappointment and frustration in my partner’s eyes. I knew that I had let them down, and I felt terrible about it.
“I’m so sorry,” I said, turning to my partner. “I know I screwed up. I was being a total sh*t this morning.”
My partner just sighed and shook their head. “It’s okay,” they said. “We made it, and that’s all that matters. But please, can we try to be on time next time?”
I nodded, feeling ashamed. I knew that I needed to do better. I couldn’t keep letting my impulsiveness and lack of consideration for others cause problems like this.
As we settled into our meal, I made a silent vow to myself to be better. To be more mindful of my actions and how they affect those around me. And Sorry We’re Late I Was Being A Little Shirt again.
