To your dismay, whatever occasion is waiting for you at the other end is going to be missed, and whoever is waiting for you has lost your trust forever. The airline will reimburse you for your changed flight, upgrade your seat from economy to "special economy," and perhaps an extra bag of salted peanuts will get thrown into the deal you were forced into, but your best friend will never forgive you for missing her wedding and being her maid of honor; your boss will never again ask you to "seal the deal" over a golf game ruining your career of opportunities; and you will never again be able to see Enrique Iglesias live on his Euphoria tour. Life experiences are going to be missed, and perhaps your whole life just changed because of the slight delay in the times you were scheduled in for. The consequences are indeed grave: you could have caught the bouquet and remained the best friend, become partner of that nameless large corporation, or even better, married Enrique Iglesias, but alas, you are left to deal with what is called "collateral damage."
Punch line…. Who would have thought, not marrying Enrique Iglesias as collateral damage?
