could you correct it


Hello, this is Antonia. Based on our appointment. You should have been here five minutes ago.

Why don't you show up on time.

Oh when i was about to go out my mom asked me to buy something for her so you know, I ran all the way from convenience store to my home and now I am on my way.


Are you taking a taxi or bus

It's considered rude to ask someone why they are late unless you are their superior, and even then, definitely not in that way. They also wouldn't ask what mode of transportation the person is taking. It's irrelevant.

"Hello, this is Antonia from [office name]. Your appointment was scheduled for 5 minutes ago, but you haven't arrived yet – do you know how much longer you will be? Your appointment may be cut short, but we can extend it by another 10 minutes. If that doesn't work for you, we'll have to reschedule."

"Sorry! I got caught up doing errands, but I just got in a taxi and am on my way now. I should make it in time, thank you for waiting."
