I called the supply chain department because we had a project but we were running out of iron plates. The guy told me I was crazy because there were plenty of that.

But after, a few minutes, the supply chain manager called me and apologized saying I was right and they would buy the material needed in time for the project.

We all know that it is important to check the amount of fuel we have before getting the road. But we are not perfect. Yesterday, I was late for work, I got on my motorbike and hit the road. A few minutes later, my motorbike started to make a sound and I realized I was RUNNING OUT of fuel. But to my lucky, there was a petrol station a few meters away from me. Oh! I was really very lucky.

I moved to Portugal about a month ago to prepare myself to do the national exam with the purpose of enrolling at the university here. But since my arrival, things are kind of difficult because a lot of problems have happened and they are sort of really annoying me and I don't know how to deal with them. I'm really running out of time now and I can't focus on the exam due to all that's going on right here. The solution would be ignoring it all because my hands are tied and I can't solve them by myself.

My friend and I were playing Word Bomb On-line. When I looked at the timer it was almost over, and I shouted, "We are running out of time! We are going to lose!" But it was too late and we lost the game.

My brother and I used to live together, but that was not easy because he is not a responsible nor an easy person to live with. For example, one day he was preparing a sandwich for us but we ran out of kitchen paper towel. I told him, "You know we ran out of paper towel, right ?" He replied, "No problem, I know what to do." To my surprise his idea was to use the toilet paper. When I saw that I said "Are you crazy? Is this your great idea?" I was angry with him and I went to the supermarket to buy some kitchen paper towel.

I'm a teacher and it's not always easy to get students to pay attention to the topics that need to be covered. It is often necessary to be patient, but this is not always possible. Even after many attempts, students don't pay attention and then ask meaningless questions, or ask the same thing I just said. In this situations my patience run out and I cry.

This month I'm getting prepared for a Bank Public Contest, called Caixa. I have spent a great part of my salary buying books, courses, and other materials to get prepared. On the one hand, I'm running out of money, but on the other hand, it isn't a problem because this is for my future. And paying for studies is not an expense but an investment. So, I'm cool. I'm studying hard, and I'll be hired for the work.

This year I started studying at a new school, and as soon as I got there, I had to do a project. I started doing my project but I ran out of ideas! I couldn´t finish my work no matter how hard I tried. But, thankfully, I met a wonderful group of girls that helped me a lot. With their help, I was finally able to finish my project and we became very good friends.

I smelt that delicious aroma, and I was right it was coffee. My wife was making some for us. But when I looked at the pot, we were running out of sugar. She said 'There is some sweetener here.' I said, 'No way, I'm going to buy some at the grocery store.'

There are a lot of bad people and terrible things happing in the world, but we must believe there is still hope.

A few days ago, I decided to travel with my family to Miguel Pereira. We booked a hotel and planned the places where we would visit...

On the day of the trip, my son was very excited. We put our things in the car and left...

When we got the road, I noticed we were running out of fuel. To make matters worse my mobile phone signal was bad and there were no gas stations nearby.

I walked a few meters away to get a signal and ask for help but nothing. Some time later, I had the help of a guy who stopped his car and had some extra fuel to lend me. I was then able to continue the trip thanks to the kindness of that man.

I travelled with my husband last weekend and the route was beautiful. But suddenly the red light painel of the car started blinking.

I talked to my husband, "We are running out of fuel. Let's stop at the next gas station." and he replied, "But we can still go for more 50 km." and I said, "Now!"

Last year I had a science fair at school and I had to make some cookies for that. But to my surprise, I had ran out of all the ingredients. Long story short, I persuaded my father to go to the supermarket nearby and he bought all I needed and he saved the day.

I was at a meeting with a client in his office the other day. We were discussing about the situation of his company when I noticed he was running out of patience. And I said, "you'd better call me later when you calm down."

My boss told me it would be important to study the changing of a secondary package from Rio de Janeiro to Recife because it would bring us a financial impact since it would avoid many costs.

But the time I had was very short and I told him that to do a good job with details it would be necessary more time. But he told me he would have a meeting with his boss and I had to finish that that week. So I had a big problem because my time was running out to solve that. I was able to finish that in time and may God be blessed because everything went ok and the meeting was a success!

A friend, if that can be called a friend, sent me a message inviting me to go to a Japanese restaurant. As I gave her no answer, she called me and asked, "Aren't you going to the restaurant with me?" and I replied, "Look, what day is today? It's the 28th of March and I'm running out of money, honey." She continued, "Ok, can't you use your credit card?" and I said, "The credit card does not pay for itself, darling. Are you going to pay for me? I believe you won't. So, see you!"

For the next vacation, I’m planning to travel to the heart of Argentina's wine country lies Mendoza. People say that is a place where sprawling vineyards meet the majestic Andes mountains. Our journey to Mendoza will begin with high spirits and a sense of adventure. But we know that our plans could soon run out if we are not planning it very well.

Due to the large number of options, we decided to pay for a travel agency, to help us on vineyard tours, to sample the finest Malbecs and Cabernet Sauvignons the region had to offer.

When we talk about mountains tours, I have a friend who lives in Lujan, a region that belongs to Mendoza and he will help me with the planning.

He told me to close the tours soon, as we are running out of time due to the high demand in the region.
