Tell me about a time your phone died or ran out of battery at a really bad moment. What happened?

B Natural answer

One time my phone died just before a job interview. I was in a taxi, checking the building and the time, and then the battery went to zero. I did not have a charger with me, so I felt stuck. When I arrived, I could not call the receptionist, and the office door was locked. I ended up asking a stranger for the Wi-Fi password so I could email the company. It was stressful, because I really wanted to make a good first impression. Luckily, they understood when I explained what happened and still interviewed me.
