[Assistant] That sounds terrible. I hope you're okay now.

[Assistant] I am doing better now but it was really hard times.  We had moved everything up higher as we never expected our whole house to go.  Unfortunately we had all our belongings in the house as well.

[User] Yea, We have a baby due in December so I'm trying to not jump to any decisions to quickly.

[Assistant] Well I'm sorry you are going through this and I hope you can figure it all out.

[User] Thanks, everything happens for a reason.


[System] surprised: I woke up one morning to make a sandwich. The sandwich meat made me sick! I knew something was wrong so I took a pregnancy test. We now have a 10 year old surprise!

[Assistant] I woke up one morning to make a sandwich. The smell of the sandwich meat made me sick! I felt something was wrong and drove to the nearest store. I purchased a pregnancy test.

[Assistant] I hate those things, i try to not eat those at all.

[Assistant] I usually love eating sandwiches which is why I knew something just wasn't right! I was experiencing morning sickness!

[Assistant] I eat steak and shrimp.


[System] annoyed: One day I was talking to a friend. They kept talking about how smart they were compared to other people. It was really annoying.

[Assistant] I have a friend that will not stop talking about himself. He always wants to talk about his latest investments, the books he has read, and how much he knows about the places that he visits!

[Assistant] i really dislike snooty people who are constantly rubbing their amazing life in your face.

[Assistant] I do too. It makes me not want to be around those types of people.

[Assistant] i wouldn't be friends with someone like that. i mean what can you benefit from that friendship?

[Assistant] Exactly! I should really stop hanging out with him.

[Assistant] agreed. you really won't be missing out on anything worthwhile.


[System] excited: I can't hardly wait to go concert tonight!

[Assistant] I am a big Taylor Swift friend!

[Assistant] I love Taylor Swift! She's talented and beautiful!

[Assistant] Yes I need to arrive at her concert tonight at  8!

[Assistant] How exciting for you! Have fun!


[System] anxious: I am worried about take my finals this week.

[Assistant] I know I studied well, but I can't stop worrying about it.

[Assistant] You have a test coming up?

[Assistant] Yes on Friday. It is the final.

[Assistant] Well I hope you do well! Good luck.


[System] joyful: I had such a great time at my daughters 7th birthday party.

[Assistant] She had a lot  of friends that came.

[User] That's interesting. What was she doing?

[Assistant] She had her birthday at Chuck E Cheese.

[User] That's awesome! I didn't know that place was still in business.


[System] annoyed: I coupon at groceries stores on a regular basis. It is really frustrating when the cashier does not understand coupons. Sometimes I feel like the companies should train their employees better when it comes to coupons.

[Assistant] I love to coupon but sometimes I feel like the cashiers aren't trained properly. They will look at the coupon for every detail and do not understand the language in the fine print.

[Assistant] Yeah I bet it is frustrating. The store gets reimbursed for the coupons so they should not nitpick.

[Assistant] I agree. It's not like the money will come out of their paycheck if something is wrong!

[Assistant] I hope they get better training so you don't have to argue with them about it


[System] angry: I am so upset they man that hit my car was not ticketed!

[Assistant] The cop said he was too old!

[Assistant] Too old for what? What a strange thing to say.

[Assistant] Too old to give him a ticket for reckless driving!

[Assistant] That doesn't make much sense. Maybe I am missing the context.

[Assistant] That's what I thought!


[System] guilty: I played poker against a friend who wasn't really good. I won and took over $100 from him. I felt bad about it the next day.

[Assistant] I played a game of poker with a friend who had no idea what he was doing. I won about $100 from him that night.

[User] Oh no, he shouldn't have gambled.

[Assistant] You are probably right! I felt bad when I was spending the money. I hope he didn't really need it.

[User] I would've too, but sometimes people need to learn a lesson.

[Assistant] This is very true!


[System] afraid: I am not sure I am brave enough to walk alone at night anymore.

[Assistant] Recently there have been a few break ins.

[User] Oh no! Did you property get broken into? Or your neighbor's property?

[Assistant] No, my neighbor did but that's close enough for me!

[User] For real! Are you taking any precautions?


[System] sad: One time I saw a stray dog walking around a restaurant looking for food

[Assistant] One time I saw a stray dog walking around a restaurant looking for food

[Assistant] Inside the restaurant ? What kind of place was this ?

[Assistant] It was outside a fried chicken chain restaurant

[Assistant] Okay, that makes more sense then to me.


[System] prepared: We did a lot of planning for the bad weather.

[Assistant] We made sure to board up for the hurricane coming.

[Assistant] Where are you located ?

[Assistant] We are in Miami, Florida 1 mile from the beach. .

[Assistant] I wasn't even aware there was a hurricane.


[System] furious: I woke up this morning with car damage that happened while I was sleeping.

[Assistant] The cop said I will probably never find out who did it.

[Assistant] Who did what?

[Assistant] I wont find out who the person was that hit my car while I was sleeping.

[Assistant] Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. People are so inconsiderate!


[System] apprehensive: I am not sure I may see about chaning my son's teacher.

[Assistant] My sons teacher isn't very nice to the young kindergartners.

[Assistant] Oh no! Why not?!

[Assistant] Not, sure, but she is not very nice at all.

[Assistant] I would make a complaint to the principal if I were you!


[System] angry: I am so upset she hit my car and left before the police came!

[Assistant] I may never know who she was.

[User] Never know who was?

[Assistant] The women that hit my car and left before the police came.

[User] Wow that is aweful!

[Assistant] I agree. And the cop said I will probably have to pay for my own damage!


[System] afraid: There is an abandoned school an hour drive from my house. It is said to be haunted. A group of friends and I decided it would be fun to go check it out. Once we arrived, I was so scared that I could not even get out of the car!

[Assistant] Near my house, there is an abandoned school that is said to be haunted. When I was a teenager, a group of friends and I decided to go check it out.

[Assistant] Oh wow, what happened?

[Assistant] When we pulled up, it was very spooky. I didn't even want to get out of the car! A few of my friends tried to get in but it was boarded up. I looked in the window and there was still writing on the chalkboards!

[Assistant] That would give me the creeps! Has anyone seen anything there?

[Assistant] There are stories about ghosts of children walking through the hallways and that you can hear laughing. We didn't see or hear anything supernatural but it was still scary!

[Assistant] I bet it was. I've only had one creepy experience - that was in an old house in West Virginia. I'm very careful to avoid those places these days!


[System] confident: I was always nervous to cut my hair short. I finally convinced myself to do it. Afterwards, I felt great about myself! It looked great and I felt like a whole new person.

[Assistant] My hair has always been long and I had been scared to have a short hair cut. Last December, I finally took the plunge and cut off all of my hair.

[User] Good for you! There is nothing wrong or uncool about short hair.

[Assistant] That's what I have discovered! I get a lot of compliments on it and I feel really good about myself when I go out!

[User] Great! I'm glad that it worked out well for you!


[System] nostalgic: When I went back to my home town and drove to the towns annual fair, it hasn't changed much so it felt like i went back to my childhood.

[User] I recently drove back to my hometown and went to the towns fair, it felt so nice reliving my childhood.

[User] That's awesome, I went to visit my parents and my hometown last month, it is a great feeling.  How was the fair?

[User] It was great, it didn't change much but it still has that 'soul' to it. Just felt great looking at it honestly.

[User] Brings back all the memories you had as a kid.  I miss going to the state fair, was always fun.


[System] jealous: When I was very young, I was dating a guy for several months. He broke up with me and started seeing another girl in our class. I could not stand to see them together.

[Assistant] When I was in high school, I dated a guy for almost a year. A few weeks before summer, he broke up with me and started seeing another girl.

[Assistant] You must have been sad and angry.

[Assistant] I was. I would get really mad when I saw them at lunch or after school together. I was my first experience with heart break.

[Assistant] Yes first heart brake is so hard, I feel for you, something similar happened to me with my first boyfriend.


[System] surprised: I didn't really think I would win tickets from the radio.

[Assistant] This was my first time winning a contest on the raido!

[Assistant] That's awesome! Congratulations!

[Assistant] Thanks! I will get to go free to the Taylor Swift concert tonight!

[Assistant] No way! That's actually a super awesome prize! Have fun


[System] guilty: I needed lunch money for school because I had bought extra things during lunch. I wasn't supposed to do that. I stole money out of my dad's wallet to cover my negative account balance at school.

[Assistant] I bought extra items during school lunch in high school. I have a negative balance on my account.

[User] Ouch, hopefully its not by much. I remember when i was in high school i had a similar situation. They're usually pretty lenient on it.

[Assistant] I had to take money out of my dad's wallet to cover it. I would have got in so much trouble with my parents for buying candy! It wasn't much but I still felt bad.

[User] I'm sure your dad wouldn't mind haha, its usually pretty cheap anything i remember they cost like $1.


[System] furious: End of semester one of my roommates left without cleaning out his share of the dorm room. Housing department fined me and the other two roommates 100$ each for his laziness.

[User] I had a roommate in my dorm who didn't clean up his dorm room at the end of the semester and the school fined me and the other two roommates $100. I was furious at that guy.

[Assistant] Did you try to get the money from him? He sounds like a pretty bad person.

[User] Yeah we tried but he cut all communication, he didn't respond to his phone number or anything. I hope he got fined a larger amount so it teaches him a lesson on laziness.

[Assistant] I do too! People like that make me never want to have a roommate!


[System] afraid: I went to Cuba to visit some family members and met up with some friends to go to a bar. It was like 3 AM when we were walking back home and there were these guys hiding in the shadows looking at us. We ended up running very fast but they never followed thankfully.

[User] So i recently traveled to Cuba to see some friends and we went to a bar until 3 AM, and as we were walking back there were these 3 guys hiding in the shadows. We got so scared we started running but thankfully they didn't follow.

[User] Oh wow. That's pretty scary. I would be horrified.

[User] Yeah it was quite an experience, my friends said those are usually drunk people who stay up the whole night talking with people. But they looked like they wanted to do more than talk!

[User] Well, at least they didn't follow you. How is Cuba? My parents are from there but I've never been.

[User] Its great, very beautiful and amazing culture (and food!). Just don't drive if you go, they seriously drive like maniacs haha


[System] sad: We had purchased and raised several chickens. One evening, I forgot to put them back in their coop. Something killed all of them.

[Assistant] I raised 6 chickens since they were babies. I was trying to let them free range but I forgot to put them back in their coop for the night. A predator was able to get to them.

[User] Oh no! That's sad, did he get them all?

[Assistant] Yes, it did! I think it was a dog that always gets out of our neighbor's yard.

[User] Aw, that's too bad, hopefully next time they will be safe in the coop!


[System] surprised: I was looking through some old clothes and found 40$ in the pockets, made my day!

[User] I was looking through old clothes that i was giving away and found $40 in one of the back pockets. Made me very happy lol

[User] wow, so what are you going to do with it?

[User] Oh i just put it into a little piggy bank i have, trying to get to $220 to cop some yeezys that are coming out in october. Hope i get a pair!

[User] nice, i hope that works out for you... good luck


[System] disgusted: I saw this youtube video of a guy eating a jellyfish and it was one of the most surreal things ive ever seen.

[User] I was watching youtube and saw this guy eat a jellyfish straight out of the ocean. Looked like the most disgusting thing someone could eat.

[User] That is gross, I can't even imagine what that would taste like!

[User] He said it had the texture of hard rubber and tasted of pure algae and just dead stuff. He even ate another one that he pan-fried and it was all green and moldy.

[User] That's so gross, I would take a hard pass on eating that. I like seafood but that's too much.


[System] impressed: One of my friends did jumped from the roof of his house to his pool and managed to actually make it into the pool. It was a good 10+ feet of distance

[User] One of my friends jumped from the roof of his house to the pool and somehow made it, it was like 10+ feet of distance, really amazing stuff.

[Assistant] Omg, Thankfully he wasn't hurt.

[User] Yeah i was really nervous that he was gonna get hurt since he likes to do stupid dares. It was quite the experience.

[Assistant] Did yall happen to get it on video?

[User] No sadly, nobody had their phones with them at the moment. But theres plenty of videos on youtube showing what happens if you dont make it!


[System] excited: I can't wait to go to my brother's wedding.

[Assistant] My older brother is getting married Friday.

[User] Congrats!, I'm sure you must be very happy!

[Assistant] I am very happy for him! I thought it was never going to happen!

[User] Haha brotherly love, I hope him and the lucky gal have a wonderful life together!


[System] joyful: The happiest moment in my life was the day that we had our daughter. Even though it was a painful experience, words cannot express how much happiness she has brought over the years.

[Assistant] Having a kid can be one of the most happy moments in a person's life. I cannot express how much happiness my daughter has brought to us since she was born.

[User] thats amazing i cant wait to have my own one day

[Assistant] It can be hard but it's one of the best experiences that I have had in life.

[User] i bet so!


[System] anxious: im nervous for the new week to begin

[User] im nervous for the new week to begin

[Assistant] Is there something that is making you nervous about the upcoming week?

[User] very busy and lots of traveling

[Assistant] That can be stressful. I am sure that every thing with go smoothly for you! Just remember that the weekend is only 5 days away!


[System] embarrassed: I spent ten minutes looking for my car keys while my friends were waiting for me and they were in my pocket the whole time.

[User] I spent 10 minutes looking for my car keys while my friends waited outside and they were in my pockets the whole time. My friends made sure i never forgot that moment haha

[Assistant] We all do stuff like that. At least you didn't lock them inside your car. Done that before!

[User] Oh thankfully i've never had to go through that yet. That one would really suck!

[Assistant] Yeah nothing like calling the locksmith and admitting you are not very bright. Haha.


[System] guilty: I feel so bad I lied to my friend.

[Assistant] I told her I had to work because I didn't want to go see a movie tonight.

[Assistant] Did you not want to go out, or did you just not like the movie?

[Assistant] I was tired and wanted to get in bed early,

[Assistant] Just be careful with that. If you feel tired due to stress, it may be the stress talking and not you.


[System] prepared: I had my finals last week, and i studied like crazy for it. Felt so nice walking into that room and feeling calm.

[User] Had my finals last week, studied really hard for them. Felt so nice walking into that room so confident and calm

[User] Great, when will you know your scores?

[User] Thankfully i knew them right at the spot, i got a 98!

[User] Wow, that's fantastic.


[System] jealous: I am not sure how to tell my husband how it makes me feel when he is flirting with other women.

[Assistant] He doesn;t seem to see the issue.

[User] Who doesn't?

[Assistant] My husband doesn't see flirting with girls a problem.

[User] What a jerk! That is definitely a problem!


[System] disappointed: I barely passed my finals

[User] I studied all week for my math finals and only scraped a 68 on it.

[Assistant] That's a real bummer. Do you at least pass the class?

[User] Yeah, passed with a 75, not what i wanted but at least i passed

[Assistant] Well at least you don't have to take it again. Could have been worse.


[System] embarrassed: i dropped my groceries in the parking lot

[User] i dropped my groceries in the parking lot

[Assistant] Oh no, how awful for you! I hope people helped you to pick them up (and didn't help themselves!).

[User] i grabbed the cans that rolled away, lol

[Assistant] Glad you find humor in it! I dropped a bottle of water once, which rolled under the car. I was livid!


[System] angry: One of my roommates left without cleaning his room and the school charged me and the other two roommates 100$

[User] One of my roommates left without cleaning his room and the school charged me and my roommates 100$ each

[Assistant] That's extremely frustrating! What were they expecting you to do? It's not your fault your roommate left it trashed.

[User] Yeah thats what we told them but they showed us the paper saying that its one of the rules. We were so furious at that guy, worst thing is he never responded to our calls or texts. Really immature and selfish of him.

[Assistant] Well, I guess the good news is that he no longer lives with you. But that blows, how hard is it to clean up after yourself before you leave?


[System] annoyed: I went to a restaurant that had call ahead seating. I called ahead and was put on the wait list. We arrived 10 minutes later as directed. However, we still have to wait over 45 minutes for our table.

[Assistant] A restaurant that I wanted to eat at had "call ahead seating" where you can call and get placed on a waiting list. I called ahead and was told we would have a table in 10 minutes. When we arrived 10 minutes later, our table was not ready!

[Assistant] That is so annoying. They should not call it that if they can't guarantee 10 minutes.

[Assistant] That's what I told the hostess. There was no point in calling ahead if we still have to wait 45 minutes for a table.

[Assistant] Hopefully the food was at least worth the wait. I would have been annoyed as well.

[Assistant] The food made it worth the wait, for sure! Any other restaurant I would have walked out!


[System] furious: We had a puppy going through the chewing stage. I came home from the grocery store to find that he had taken the couch cushions off of the couch and chewed through the center!

[Assistant] We had a new puppy. He loved to chew on everything. I went to the grocery store and when I got back home, the puppy had pulled the cushions off of the couch. He had chewed through the bottom!!

[Assistant] Oh god! I haven't had a puppy in a long time, but you forget all the things in your house that are not puppy-proof. They find ways to make messes in the most creative ways.

[Assistant] They do! I'm really glad that that stage didn't last too long in him. I just hated having to buy an entire new living room suite! Puppies are expensive.

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a real headache. I'd want to say they're worth it, but on that day I wouldn't be so sure, haha.


[System] afraid: I accidentally dropped my phone and the screen started glitching out and the phone didn't want to turn on anymore.

[User] I accidentally dropped my phone at the screen started to glitch out and didn't want to turn on anymore. I was scared because it was a brand new phone. Thankfully after a while of it just sitting there it turned back on normally.

[User] That is a huge blessing, I don't know about you but my life is pretty much keyed into my phone.

[User] Same here, they're so incredibly important in this day and age.

[User] It's almost a shame how much we depend on them, but I know I'd be lost without mine.


[System] annoyed: i am bothered by my neighbors loud power tools next door

[User] i am bothered by my neighbors loud power tools next door

[User] Do they run them all day long - or at night?

[User] during the morning and day on the weekends!

[User] Is there any kind of noise ordinance in your area?  I know in ours unless they are still running them at 11pm, there is nothing the police will/can do about it unfortunately - but I can imagine how annoying it is.


[System] apprehensive: My friends invited me camping, but I was scared to go; it was in the woods and I was afraid I might get a tick bite, seeing as ticks are on the rise.

[User] My best friends invited me to a camping trip but I was a little anxious about the whole thing.

[Assistant] I don't blame  you because I hate camping.

[User] Really? I was just really scared of getting bitten by a tick. I ended up enjoying the trip in the end!

[Assistant] Oh I hate ticks and all the bugs.


[System] impressed: i was blown away by how great my friends were this weekend

[User] i was blown away by how great my friends were this weekend

[Assistant] What happened?

[User] they were very supportive and kind , helping me with some moving things

[Assistant] You are lucky to have such great friends!


[System] terrified: I sliced my hand open trying to rip a beer can in two; I was at a park with some friends and I was scared I would pass out from blood loss.

[User] A few weeks ago I was drinking with some friends at a park and I sliced my hand open while trying to rip a beer can in two.

[User] oh that sucks, i hope it has healed since then

[User] It has! The cut was so deep and I was bleeding so much I was scared of passing out from blood loss.

[User] ouch, that sounds awful

[User] Moral of the story: don't rip open cans with your hands!


[System] surprised: i was shocked how nice the weather was this morning

[User] i was shocked how nice the weather was this morning

[User] How come? Have you had awful weather lately?

[User] not really but it was just especially nice this morning

[User] Oh I see. Beautiful weather is an excellent start to the day!


[System] sad: I packed up all my things and moved out of state.

[Assistant] I decided to move to be with my boyfriend.

[User] Oh? Big decision. I hope you feel good about it!

[Assistant] I did, but I had to leave all my family behind

[User] Aw, but they'll always be there for you when you visit. You have to do what you want to in life, after all


[System] angry: im mad at my neighbor today

[User] im mad at my neighbor today

[User] Oh that sucks! What did your neighbor do to get you angry?

[User] he was using powertools loud in the morning

[User] How inconsiderate. People should have more common sense than your neighbor.


[System] joyful: Last Christmas, I had saved up quite a bit of money to buy all my family and girlfriend nice gifts. It made me feel warm and happy.

[User] Last Christmas, I saved up a lot of money and was able to buy my family and girlfriend really nice gifts.

[User] thats awesome, i always loved giving gifts more than receiving them

[User] Me too! The act of giving makes me feel so warm and happy.

[User] me too!


[System] proud: The teacher I had for Calculus 2 was so awful, I had to learn the course all on my own. I was able to pass the course and I felt so good about myself.

[User] The teacher I had for Calculus 2 last semester was so terrible at his job, I had to learn it all on my own.

[Assistant] I hate when I get teachers that are clueless. Makes you wonder how they got the job.

[User] Same here. Surprisingly, I was able to pass the course and I felt so good about myself!

[Assistant] Well done. You should feel proud for teaching yourself.


[System] joyful: i felt happy this morning because it was sunny and warm

[User] i felt happy this morning because it was sunny and warm

[Assistant] That's always a great start to a day.

[User] absolutely, i was overjoyed

[Assistant] How are you celebrating it?


[System] confident: I have an exam coming up and I have studied all week for it. I'm feeling really good about going into it.

[Assistant] I have a big exam coming up tomorrow.

[Assistant] Oh wow. What's the exam on?

[Assistant] It's on PC Architecture. I'm feeling pretty good about it though. I studied really hard all week.

[Assistant] That's really great. I am sure you will do well on the test.


[System] terrified: On my way back from a funeral, my friends and I almost got into a deadly car crash. The driver was falling asleep on the road and drove on the wrong lane directly towards us.

[User] On my way back from a funeral, my friends and I almost got into a deadly car crash.

[Assistant] Oh no, what happened?

[User] I think the other driver was falling asleep on the road. Out of nowhere, he moved onto the wrong lane directly towards us.

[Assistant] Well that is really lucky you were able to avoid that. Hopefully he didn't hurt anyone else.

[User] Agreed. I was so scared we could have been the ones in a casket that night.


[System] excited: I was so happy that I finally got to leave retail and get a better job.

[Assistant] I was so happy that after many years in retail I found a better job.

[User] Congratulations! Retail really does suck.

[Assistant] Yeah it does. It really made me dislike people a lot.

[User] Understandably. My girlfriend is a student and works in retail part-time. She says the same thing.


[System] nostalgic: When I listened to a particular album recently it brought me back to when I was in high school. It reminded me of who showed me the album.

[Assistant] Do you ever hear an album and it brings you back to when you first listened to it?

[Assistant] Oh, all the time. What album is that for you?

[Assistant] I just listened to a Billy Talent album again the other day and it brought me back to high school and reminded me of the person who showed me them.

[Assistant] I really love that album! We will have to listen to it together sometime.


[System] angry: My older sister stole my younger brother's iPod touch to pawn. I was so furious, especially because he's the sweetest most innocent kid.

[User] A while back, my older sister stole my younger brother's iPod touch to sell.

[Assistant] That sucks. Did she make a lot of money off of it?

[User] No idea. All I know is that I was furious, especially seeing as my brother is the sweetest most innocent kid ever.

[Assistant] I would've been very angry too. I hope the money went towards something useful.


[System] anxious: I was planning on going to a concert last night but I didn't go because I ended up not wanting to go by myself. I feel like I'm going to regret not going.

[Assistant] Last night was quite a bummer.

[Assistant] I am sorry to hear that. Why was it a bummer?

[Assistant] I was planning on going to a concert but ended up not going at the last minute because I didn't want to go by myself. I feel like I'm going to regret not going.

[Assistant] That really stinks. I bet you felt really lonely and filled my regret.


[System] content: Today is my first day off in a long time. I'm playing some Zelda on the Switch, and I'm feeling pretty happy!

[User] After working for a week straight and running a lot of errands, today is my first day off in a while.

[Assistant] That must feel very refreshing. Would you say you feel content?

[User] It is, I'm super happy. Currently playing some Zelda on the Switch, it couldn't get any better than this!

[Assistant] Nice! I want to get that game next week. Looks really cool.

[User] I highly recommend it. I can't put it down.


[System] disappointed: My older brother always makes promises he can't keep. Recently, he said he was going to bring me out to sushi for my birthday, but he always postpones it.

[User] My older brother always makes promises he can't keep.

[Assistant] That is disappointing. I wonder why he's like that.

[User] I don't know why. Recently we were supposed to go out for sushi lunch together, but he keeps postponing it. I'll ask him for a definitive day.

[Assistant] I hope he doesn't let you down.


[System] impressed: My brother graduated from college the other day. I was so happy for him. He put in so much work.

[Assistant] I'm so happy for my brother!

[User] Something good happen to him recently?

[Assistant] He just graduated from college. He put in so much work.

[User] That's amazing! Tell him congratulations from a friendly stranger.


[System] sad: My little brother failed his french class and had to spend three weeks in summer school. It hurt my heart seeing him have to go to school while all his friends were having fun.

[User] My little brother failed his French class and had to spend three weeks in summer school.

[User] Oh no, that's not good! He's not the only one that's not great at French. Most of my family spoke French as a second language when I was growing up and I still never picked it up!

[User] French is a really hard language, I have trouble too so it really hurt my heart seeing him go to school while all his friends and siblings were having fun without him.

[User] Hopefully he'll get to enjoy his next summer.


[System] terrified: My boyfriend and a couple friends went over to his mom's house to check on things. His brothers got into a fist fight while we were there and my boyfriend jumped in the middle.

[Assistant] My boyfriend's brothers got into a fist fight one night and he jumped in the middle.

[Assistant] That sucks. Did anyone get hurt?

[Assistant] Some things got broke and there were some bruises, but it was really scary to watch that.

[Assistant] I bet. I would've hid under the table.


[System] proud: i am blessed to have a great family

[User] i am blessed to have a great family

[Assistant] That's nice. Why do you say that?

[User] they're just the best and always very helpful

[Assistant] That's great to hear. I wish I had a helpful family.


[System] annoyed: My sister in law is always thinking of herself and not taking anyone else's schedules into account.

[Assistant] Whenever my sister in law plans things, she only does it around her schedule.

[Assistant] I worked for weeks on a presentation for work. I practiced over and over. I felt relaxed the morning of.

[Assistant] That's good! That probably means you worked on it until it became something you're proud of.

[Assistant] You are right! I was really proud of it! I'm glad I worked so hard on it. It lessened the anxiety that I usually have!

[Assistant] Maybe I could learn from that. I get really nervous when I have to do any public speaking, so maybe if I just prepared for it better it would help.


[System] trusting: i trusted my friends to pay me back the cash that they owed me

[User] I was under the impression that my friends would pay me back.

[User] did you try talking to her about it? Just be straight forward and tell you how you feel

[Assistant] I thought about it but no, it's not worth rocking the boat. If she tries to pull that again and dump even more on us, then I'll probably say something.


[System] furious: I was pulling into the gas station and this kid felt the need to not only almost hit me but also call me extremely awful names.

[Assistant] I can't believe this!  Some kid at the gas station nearly hit me and then had the nerve to call me awful names!

[System] confident: I recently spoke at a conference. It was a little nerve-wracking but I was really excited and felt great as I knew that I knew my speech front to back without needing to practice too much.

[Assistant] I spoke at a conference recently. I was a little scared going into it but felt great as I knew I knew my speech.

[Assistant] Oh nice! That's super brave of you.

[Assistant] I'm actually one of those fortunate people who doesn't have a fear of public speaking.

[Assistant] That's a great skill to have!


[System] nostalgic: I was cleaning out the attic when I found a box full of old photos albums. It was a lot of fun looking at pictures of the past.

[User] I was cleaning out my attic and found a box full of old photo albums. I spent the next few hours looking at old photos and having a great time.

[Assistant] That must have been a nice feeling.

[User] It really was. I miss a lot of the people in the photos, made me really smile to see their faces again.

[Assistant] I love that nostalgic feeling.


[System] annoyed: My dog keeps attempting to chew up my shoes no matter where I put them!  It's like he is hunting them.

[Assistant] I am so irritated.  My dog keeps trying to eat up my shoes no matter where I put them!

[User] Haha, sounds like my pupper, is she still young?

[Assistant] Yeah she's only about six months.  Despite all her chew toys its still my shoes she craves...

[User] Right!? It's weird, you buy them all the toys in the world, but they still go after your stuff.


[System] lonely: My husband works long hours. I hate being by myself specially at night.

[Assistant] My husband works late at night and sometimes I'm stuck by myself.

[Assistant] Why he is working late?

[Assistant] He owns his own business working on cars. If something goes wrong, he is forced to stay to fix the issue.

[Assistant] I understand. Could you plan to do something when he is late (going out with friends)?

[Assistant] That's a good idea! Maybe I can have a boardgame night or something!


[System] jealous: My cousin just had his mom cosign on my dream car! He doesn't even have a job

[Assistant] My aunt just signed for my cousin to get an FJ Cruiser! That is my dream car! He doesn't even have a job.

[Assistant] Aww man that sucks for you

[Assistant] It does! Maybe he will at least let me drive it!

[Assistant] Hopefully! It is your dream car after all


[System] excited: I'm looking forward to visiting a friend over the weekend.  We'll have lots of fun together

[Assistant] I'm looking forward to visiting a friend over the weekend

[Assistant] That should be fun. Any big planes?

[Assistant] Nothing too big, probably just wander around town

[Assistant] That will be nice to catch up.


[System] angry: My upstairs neighbor moved out recently and left all her trash and furniture in our parking lot next to the garbage cans. No one has a place to park! I'm so mad.

[Assistant] I'm so irritated at my neighbor. She moved out recently and left ALL her garbage and old furniture in our parking lot by the garbage.

[User] That's not very considerate of her. Was she a bad neighbor while she lived there too? Some people!

[Assistant] Not at all, that's what is so weird! She was really polite, quiet, and neat.

[User] I wonder what could have changed? Either way, I'd be pretty pissed off.

[Assistant] I am! But whatever, nothing we can do but have the city come pick it up I guess.


[System] grateful: There were a bunch of layoffs at my job. I was so happy to see that I was one of the few people that got to keep their job.

[User] Last week the plant I work at was hit with massive layoffs.

[User] Oh no! That is terrible!

[User] I was fortunate enough to be one of the very few who got to keep their job, I am happy but very sad for the others.

[User] I understand. Layoffs are hard. My brother in law has been through a lot of those at factories!


[System] lonely: Two years ago my wife and I got divorced. It's been very strange in this big house all by myself.

[User] Two years ago my wife and I got divorced. It has been very odd in this big house all by myself.

[Assistant] How do you feel these days?

[User] It has gotten a little better with time, but still a pretty sore spot for me.

[Assistant] It must be difficult, do you think she will come back ever?


[System] anxious: I got laid off a few months back and was really worried about paying my bills. It was consuming me. But I ended up getting a new job the week my unemployment ran out!

[Assistant] I lost my job earlier this year. I was really worried about how to pay my bills and finding a new job.

[Assistant] Ouch! That's rather painful. What are you doing now?

[Assistant] Well that's the cool thing... the week my unemployment ran out I got a job offer. At my former company, no less. So everything worked out!

[Assistant] Wow! That's like a paid vacation!

[Assistant] Haha that's an awesome way to think about it!


[System] jealous: A friend of mine bought a scratch off ticket at the gas station and won $2000. I buy them all the time and only win a couple bucks here and there.

[User] Last week a friend of mine won $2000 on a scratch off ticket. I buy those things all the time and never win squat.

[User] Wow, that's incredible. What's their secret?

[User] Right place, right time I guess. Some people are just lucky.

[User] Congrats to your friend. I hope they share!


[System] caring: When my niece got send home from school sick I was a bit worried and nervous

[Assistant] My niece got sent home from school yesterday with that stomach bug that's going around

[User] That's unfortunate, hope you don't get it as well!

[Assistant] I know!  I've been pretty worried about her.  She's such a tiny thing.

[User] I'm sure she will be fine with some rest and a little bit of time.


[System] surprised: I lost my phone. I thought it was gone forever but then I got a message on Facebook "from myself," the person who found it was trying to get it back to me!

[Assistant] My phone went missing. Imagine my surprise when I got a Facebook message "from myself," it was the person who found it saying "I have your phone."

[User] Wow... that's kind of creepy actually. Were you able to get it back?

[Assistant] I was! The guy was really nice and refused the cash I tried to give him as a reward.

[User] You're very lucky he was nice and didn't steal any of your data.

[Assistant] Very! Lucky for me it was a cheap phone, I think if I had the newest iPhone or something I would have never seen it again.
