"So, that happened" is often used as a casual remark after an unexpected or surprising event or revelation. It can be used to acknowledge the situation and express a sense of disbelief, amusement, or resignation.

Conversation 1:
- Friend 1: "I accidentally locked myself out of the house today."
- Friend 2: "So, that happened. How did you manage to get back in?"

Conversation 2:

**Person A:** Hey, I stumbled upon this new sushi place downtown. Sounds like it's right up your alley.

**Person B:** Oh, really? I love sushi! What's it called?

**Person A:** It's called "Sakura Sushi Bar." I heard they have the best sashimi in town.

**Person B:** That sounds amazing! I've been craving some good sashimi. When should we check it out?

**Person A:** How about this Friday evening? I'm free after work.

**Person B:** Perfect! Friday works for me too. What time should we meet?

**Person A:** Let's aim for around 7:00 PM. That should give us enough time to unwind after work.

**Person B:** Sounds good to me. I'll see you there!

**Person A:** Great! Looking forward to it.

**Me:** Good morning! You must be from the towing company.

**Truck Driver:** Yes, good morning! I'm here to pick up your car for repairs. Is the key in the ignition?

**Me:** Yes, it is. And I assume you'll need to drive it onto the flatbed?

**Truck Driver:** That's correct. Is the car driveable?

**Me:** Yes, it should be. I haven't tried to start it since the accident, but it was running fine before.

**Truck Driver:** Alright, I'll give it a try.

**[Meanwhile, my neighbor David approaches]**

**David:** Hey there! What's going on with the car?

**Me:** Oh, hey David. The car's going to the shop because it's damaged.

**David:** Okay, I'll talk to you later then.

**Me:** Sounds good, catch you later.

**[Back to the conversation with the truck driver]**

**Me:** Do you need any paperwork or information from me before we start?

**Truck Driver:** Just your name and address should do it. I'll also need the keys to your car.

**Me:** Here you go. And I've already called the repair shop to let them know you're on your way.

**Truck Driver:** Perfect, that'll make things easier.

**Me:** Do you need me to take out the paperwork from inside the glove box?

**Truck Driver:** No, you can leave it in there. I'll take care of everything.

**Me:** Great, thanks.
