Joe: Hello?
Sarah: Joe, it’s Sarah. I’m in a right mess. I overslept and now I’ve been properly sucked into this horrid traffic jam on my way to work.
Joe: Oh no, that’s not good. How did you get up in such a terrible traffic jam?

Joe: No problem at all. Just stay calm and focus on getting there safely.
Sarah: I will, Joe. Thanks again, Joe. Bye!
