    Meant: You're not going to bail on me for the billionth time the night before our major team project is due. I'm sick of you bailing on me. If you ditch today, I will tear you to shreds on the evaluations.

    Said: "If you want to take a minute to brush your teeth and freshen up, we won't be late. We have loads of time."
