Consider the following situation and check your perceptions by evaluating objectively. Describe the facts, formulate two possibl
e interpretations, and request clarification. You planned to meet a friend for lunch. You sit at the restaurant for 30 minutes, but your friend doesn't show up. When you get home, you find a message from your friend on the answering machine. He says another friend stopped by his house as he was getting ready, so he couldn't meet you for lunch.
