Consider getting your hair cut at the barber.
-
Now of course, somebody else can take your slot.
-
All right, there's somebody who comes along and says,
-
"Oh, I need to get to a date. I'm going to be late.
-
Would you mind my having your appointment, using your appointment?"
-
"Oh, I'm willing to wait. It's okay," Right?
-

-
in some loose sense they've gotten your haircut.
-
But of course, as it ended up,
-
they didn't really get your haircut.
-
They got their haircut.
