person A: My car broke down yesterday but luckily my friend was able to pick me up from work while it was in the shop. I think I'm going to take him to a nice restaurant to say thanks.
person B: Aw I am sorry that happened to you. I hope the repair didn't cost you too much! 
person A: It was just the carburetor_comma_ which is supposed to be an easy fix. I'm so glad I wasn't stranded at my office.
person B: Ah I see. Something similar happened to my brother too recently while he was picking me up_comma_ so we were stuck at a coffee shop parking lot for several hours.
