Guess what happened to me yesterday! I was supposed to meet my boyfriend at 7:00. But actually he came at 7:10.
 
Guess what happened to me … は「何が起こったのか推測してみて=聞いてちょうだい」。面白い・ビックリするような話のきっかけを作る言い回し。was supposed to ~ は「~することになっていた」。
 
彼は私を10分も待たせたのよ! 私は彼をすばらしい人だと思っていたけど、もうおしまい。
He kept me waiting for 10 minutes! I considered him a great guy, but not anymore.

You’ll never guess what happened to me late night. I was supposed to meet my girlfriend at 7:00, but she turned up at 7:10.
 
You’ll never guess(君は思いもよらないだろう) も、話のきっかけを作る効果的なフレーズ。turn up は「現れる」。
 
待たされるのなんて耐えられない!
I can’t stand to be kept waiting!
 
be kept は受動態。「keep waiting させられる」ということ。
