[System] impressed: My dad worked his ass off at a job he didn't enjoy, doing back breaking work. Always amazed that he was able to do that as long as he did.

[User] My dad always worked his ass off at a job he didn't like in order to support us, doing a lot of back breaking work as a caretaker. He even had a second job at Wal-mart for a while. I have no idea how he managed to do that sort of thing.

[Assistant] When you have responsibilities that you really care about, you do what you have to. I commend him. ITs hard raising a family,

[User] Yeah, especially because we were single income. My mom homeschooled my brother and I. I think he took only a handful of sick days his entire time working, had something like 600 days saved up when he retired.

[Assistant] Oh wow. Ive never heard of that many sick days.

[User] I think he got 3 weeks a year, only used like 5 days.

[Assistant] cool.


[System] devastated: she went behind my back to return her ex's t-shirt. Lied about it. I found out through her facebook messages

[User] my instincts are never wrong. I found out her lies when I checked her facebook chat history.

[Assistant] So, what was she lying to you about?

[User] she arranged to meet up with her ex to return his t-shirt! why do that behind my back? we had just started seeing each other. Made me so mad

[Assistant] Oh, she shouldn't have done that


[System] ashamed: I thought she wanted to do it. I didn't force anything

[User] I never thought she would tell anyone and make it seem like I did something wrong. I didn't force her

[User] Oh no how horrible

[User] ye and so I had to leave the country because of her

[User] oh no


[System] embarrassed: when I was 12 we had to shower after gym. Well I didn't want anyone to see me naked but had to go through with it

[User] Public school really sucks sometimes. Making boys shower all together. I didn't want to but had to or else fail PE

[Assistant] I hate public schools ooo

[User] yes. Well it was a long time ago but I haven't forgotten

[Assistant] But it's really cool atimes


[System] grateful: My mom home schooled me basically through my entire education besides college, since she knew it would be better for me.

[User] My mom homeschooled me when I was little. I was in public school till first grade, but after that I was homeschooled. Did take a semester in grade 11 though to make sure I was up to current standards.

[User] Thats cool, I did online school in high school

[User] Really? I didn't even know that was an option. Then again I'm 25 so it may not have been available then.

[User] Well were pretty close in age


[System] sad: when I was 17 I found out Brandon Lee had died during filming of my fav movie The Crow. This sadness is still with me as I am also a big Bruce Lee fan

[User] I still haven't got over it. Brandon Lee RIP. I was 17 when I found out he died during filming. I visited the area he took his last steps a couple years ago

[User] I remember him, he was going to be a great actor.

[User] Now the remake is well on its way. Maybe it can lift this depression I feel if they stay true to the story. Jason Mamoa isn't bad looking

[User] Yeah he might do a pretty good job as that character.


[System] prepared: After years of trying and failing, I had to change and become better. Now I am ready to take on any life challenge and survive

[User] I had to adapt to life. I had to change to survive. Now I feel better

[User] Adapting to life is always good to do.

[User] I am reminded every day that I can survive anything. A friend gave me a special bracelet (paracord)

[User] Thats a great attitude to have. You should keep with that.


[System] disgusted: I recently found out that a good friend of mine has been cheating on her fiance with multiple different men for years. I was aghast and horrified that she would behave this way and even more upset that she tried to justify the behavior.

[Assistant] I recently found out a good friend of mine has been cheating on her fiance for years.

[Assistant] How awful! how do you feel about it?

[Assistant] Very angry and frustrated that she would behave that way. It makes me think less of her as a person.

[Assistant] Yes I understand, it is really sad when you find that people you have known a long time can be very different from what you thought.


[System] furious: I was sucker punched when I was 17. He broke his hand and ran away. I never got to punish him.

[User] I was sucker punched when I was 17. The guy broke his hand and fled the scene. I saw him one time after this riding a bicycle but didn't do anything.

[Assistant] Lols why didn't you do anything

[User] I wasn't confident. Now I regret not punishing him.

[Assistant] Awww but it's still good that you didn't push him, Cox it might lead to something else


[System] proud: I felt pleased with myself when I completed my masters degree at nearly 40 years old.

[Assistant] I recently completed my masters degree in education at almost 40 years old. I feel really pleased with myself.

[User] Oh My Goodness! How wonderful!!!! That is so awesome! Congratulations.

[Assistant] Thanks! It was a huge challenge, and I'm SO glad to have it behind me!

[User] Wow! I better! I Stopped at Associates of General Studies, because I wanted to be a mom more. So that is a HUGE step for you!

[Assistant] Being a mom is great, too! And you never know- maybe you'll go back to school in the future! Thanks!

[User] This is TRUE! I am glad to be at home with these guys right now. Have a great day!


[System] content: I am happy with where I live, my house, my income, and I'm grateful to God.

[User] I feel happy about the new house I have and that I can work from home. Thanks be to God

[Assistant] Congratulations! I hope to get a house next year

[User] It took me 9 months of determination and sacrifice. But worth it.

[Assistant] I bet! Hard work pays off


[System] caring: When she fell down the steps I blamed myself for not being close enough to catch her. I cared for her for months after that until she was better.

[User] I blamed myself for her fall because I wasn't close enough to prevent it. I took care of her for months afterwards.

[User] Things happen that are bad, I am sure it wasnt your fault.

[User] I was distracted by the sound of running water.

[User] I am sure they forgave you in the end.


[System] nostalgic: Today I've been listening to all my favorite songs from when I was in my early twenties.

[User] I can't get enough of music today. Especially all my songs/bands from when I was in my twenties.

[User] Music always seems to be better from the past, I understand all too well.

[User] Its true though, they can't make good music these days. Not in ANY genre.

[User] I totally agree, new music is not as good.


[System] anticipating: I get paid today and this new game I've been wanting is coming out today. I've been waiting to get it and today I will!

[User] I get paid today and I'm getting this new game I've been waiting on to be released!

[Assistant] I get paid today as well! What game are you thinking about getting?

[User] I'm thinking about getting FarCry 5. I pre-order for the early release! I'm really excited about it.

[Assistant] Didn't that game come out a few months ago? I got it shortly after I released and I wasn't very impressed. It wasn't a bad game, but it certainly was not the best game.


[System] grateful: I joined a organization 6 months ago as a sales representative. But, with my hard work and talent that god has gifted me I went on for a position of Junior Manager were I manage 5 supervisor in just 6 months. Being Junior manager in just 6 months is being grateful to me.

[User] Hi, I joined a firm 6 months ago and then I got a promotion for Junior Manager

[Assistant] Congratulations. That sounds like the fast track.

[User] yes, They thought that I have some extraordinary talent and that is the reason I got that position

[Assistant] Cool. Maybe next year you will be a partner!

[User] Maybe yes, Haha, Now I am looking for a Manager post and then become a senior manager

[Assistant] I hope you get it


[System] annoyed: I have appeared for a driving license thrice and still I have not being able to crack it.

[User] Hi, I have applied for a driving license thrice and I have failed in all the thee

[Assistant] I am so sorry to hear that! Is there a particular section you are having trouble with?

[User] Yes, I am a little uncomfortable driving backwards. I just can't do that.

[Assistant] Ah! That's quite understandable. It is tricky at first and non-intuitive. I practiced driving in reverse with cones in an abandoned lot.

[User] every time I try not to hit that cone but those are so close.

[Assistant] I know it's hard, but practice makes perfect! Keep trying and I am sure you will get it!


[System] joyful: I was accepted in to University after years of being an alcoholic restaurant industry worker, often working for minimum wage.

[Assistant] I still can't believe my life is where it's at, especially if you look at the past few years. I would never believe you if you told me I would be here.

[User] Why what is the matter?

[Assistant] Well, for many years I was an alcoholic, working for near minimum wage in kitchens. But that all changed when I was accepted to University!

[User] Hmmm! That is just annoying being an alcoholic. I purely understand your situation as I have gone through it. Well! life goes on.

[Assistant] It does. I worked really hard to pass the acceptance tests, and I couldn't believe when I passed with flying colors!

[User] that is great..congrats....


[System] embarrassed: I was standing in a lift yesterday morning and a guy standing next to me just looked curiously to me. I was confused and then he slowly whispered in my ears that your zip is open please close it without anyone noticing it.

[User] Yesterday, I was standing in a lift and a man next to me whispered in my ears that your zip is open.

[User] Thats creepy honestly

[User] It was just very creepy situation

[User] Yeah whispering in someones ear is weird

[User] lol thats funny


[System] hopeful: I just want my husband to get a ob

[Assistant] Nice! What job is going for

[User] armed security

[Assistant] Cool.  Hope he gets it, I hear they pay pretty well


[System] afraid: I am Junior Manager and one night I have to stay at office for whole night as I was having excessive work that day. So, everyone in the office left and I was all alone in the office. There was pin drop silence there and even I can hear the ticking of the clock. Even a single noise scared me that time.

[User] I stayed alone at night in a office due to excessive work and was much scared.

[Assistant] Just you. No security?

[User] no, I was on a 10th floor and security was down. I was scared even with a single noise.

[Assistant] I would be too.


[System] joyful: I just got my degree in marketing and I have achieved it with flying ranks.

[User] I have been awarded with a degree in marketing.

[Assistant] That's nice, how long did it take you ?

[User] it took 4 years but at last got it

[Assistant] Fantastic, now do you have a job lined up?

[User] Yeah,  I have  a job that I was looking for and now I am really enjoying my life.


[System] surprised: I got in a car wreck one time. A guy pulled out in front of my. I hit my brakes, but couldn't stop in time. It totaled both of our cars.

[Assistant] Hey, have you ever been in a car wreck?

[User] I've been in a fender bender not a total wreck.

[Assistant] I was in one about 2 years ago. No one was hurt, but it totaled both of our cars.

[User] Man, how was your insurance policy for that?


[System] furious: I once found out my step father was stealing money from my mother to buy drugs. I confronted him about it and got in a fist fight with him.

[Assistant] Have you everr been in a fist fight with anyone?

[User] Yes, Several times in my life. Mostly me and my older brother when we were younger.

[Assistant] I got in a fist fight with my step father once. It wasn't a fun experience as you can imagine.

[User] What started the fist fight in the first place?


[System] nostalgic: The other day I installed Everquest. A video game i played as a teen. I played it for several weeks.

[Assistant] Have you ever played and old video game called Everquest?

[Assistant] I haven't heard of it

[Assistant] It came out in 1999. I used to play it when i was a teen. I installed it the other day and had a good time playing.

[Assistant] Everything old makes a come back!


[System] disappointed: I went to Hardee's the other day and got a slider burger for almost 2 dollars. It was the size of a Krystal burger. It was just so unsatisfactory.

[Assistant] Have you ever eaten at Hardee's?

[User] One of my favorite places to eat. I love the swirled ice cream cones.

[Assistant] I like it too, but I'm not a big fan of their new sliders. They're so tiny, and just one of them cost almost 2 dollars!

[User] Over priced food is no fun. I like dollar menus.


[System] terrified: One time I had a dream where i was being held down by a shadow demon with red eyes. I couldn't move or scream even though I wanted to. It was the most scared I've ever been.

[Assistant] Have you ever had a sleep paralysis dream?

[User] Yep! Not really that fun to have since you see things at times.

[Assistant] Yeah, in mine I saw a smoke looking shadow over me with red eyes staring at me. I've never been more scared in my life.

[User] Man that is scary! Granted i like to hear things about that.


[System] confident: When i worked as a machinist, i was the only person on my shift that could program a certain lathe that had 6 axis. It was when i was at the top of my abillitys.

[Assistant] Have you ever rode on a roller coaster?

[Assistant] Yes when I was young I did all the time, but I think after I turned 18 I got this weird fear of being so high up in the air. What about you?

[Assistant] I hate riding them, but i used to machine components for their drive chain when I was a machinist.

[Assistant] Wow thats really cool! You must be happy to know about that stuff its interesting!


[System] faithful: I felt upset when I had a friend's boyfriend that tried to have an intimate relationship with me. Even though they were with my very good friend, and they knew I was married. I have been married almost 23 years and love my husband.

[Assistant] A while back my friend's boyfriend tried to get me to have an intimate relationship with him. He knew I had been married a very long time, as well as he was in a relationship with my friend. I turned him down flat, as I love my husband very much.

[User] What a creep. I hope that you told on him.

[Assistant] Yes, I let him know that was wrong and disgusting. I couldn't believe he did it!

[User] Some people are like that. Did you tell your husband?

[Assistant] Yes, as I am honest with him. But, I didn't want trouble.


[System] prepared: I'm going overseas and i'm super ready

[User] I'm going overseas and I think I packed everything i need!

[Assistant] Where are you headed ?

[User] Going to Kazakhstan. That's where i was born. My parents still live there and i miss them so much

[Assistant] Great, I hope you have a nice trip. How long will you be staying?


[System] proud: My girlfriend got let go of a job a while back, and she ended up getting a better job with better pay!

[User] Hi, My girlfriend was recently let go of her job, but she put so much work in to finding a new job and got one with better pay!

[Assistant] That's great! It was meant to happen then

[User] Yes I agree, she was so happy when she found out the job was hers

[Assistant] I would have been too. I've never been fired. I always quit

[User] She wasn't really fired, her position was no more. Schools don't have much room left for Home Ec teachers. Sad

[Assistant] I remember taking Home Ec. I loved that class

[User] Yeah she has a passion for teaching. These kids will be great to work with.


[System] surprised: Nearly a year ago now, my girlfriend completely surprised me with a puppy!

[Assistant] So about a year ago now, my girlfriend decided to surprise me with a puppy!

[User] Oh wow, puppies are nice.  What kind of puppy did you get?

[Assistant] Yes, so nice!! It was the best thing that could've happened! It's a German Shepherd!

[User] Thats a nice breed of dog.  I just went on a camping trip with a relative who has one, they are very loyal and smart of course.  Was he/she your first pet?


[System] faithful: At the bar a girl tried to cheat.

[Assistant] There was this one time I was fairly drunk at a bar and this attractive girl was trying to make moves on me, but I did my best to ignore it all.. Having a girlfriend and all.

[User] that's good! you should be proud of yourself

[Assistant] I was very proud definitely when I woke up the next morning and knew no mistakes were made!

[User] that's great! i hate when people cheat


[System] annoyed: When my girlfriend kept me waiting on our date.

[Assistant] There was this one time my girlfriend and I had plans to meet a Longhorn steakhouse for a date.. She ended up keeping me waiting inside 30 extra minutes! I was pretty frustrated.

[User] I can only imagine having to wait at the table alone, wondering if she'd show up. At least, it sounds like, she finally arrived.  Did she specify a reason for being so late?

[Assistant] Yes, she actually had a legit reason so I couldn't be too mad at her.. She definitely made it up to me!

[User] That's good. I can somewhat relate. I think the longest I've waited on someone was a colleague who was supposed to meet us at happy hour, and ended up getting delayed by our boss for 45 minutes. We were glad she made it out, but I did feel worse for her than for all of us.


[System] joyful: Thank God it's friday

[User] I'm just so happy it's finally Friday!

[Assistant] Ahhh! Me too, there is so much that can be done on the weekends!

[User] i just want to sleep in and then watch movies all day long... but i'm a mom so i don't sleep in. ever

[Assistant] I understand that! I have a bunch of pet snakes that wake me up thru the night!


[System] afraid: I had decided to go visit my brother out of state by driving, but as soon as I got on the road it started snowing heavily.  The farther I drove the worse the snow got, and I was unprepared for it.  I was in a very rural area, hundreds of miles from a major city, and the snow started covering up the road such that I couldn't even see the lines or where the ditch started.  I ended up turning back and cancelling the trip.

[User] I had to cancel a trip to see my brother after it started snowing heavily.

[Assistant] Actually that has happened to me, during Thanksgiving

[User] Yes, when the snow builds up on the road I get nervous, and during this trip I couldn't even see where the road was and where the ditch began.

[Assistant] Im from NC mountains, it can be tricking driving when the snow is latying fast

[User] It sure can.  When I decided that I wasn't comfortable driving in such deep snow I literally turned around and went home.

[Assistant] That is a smart idea. Sometimes I would have no choice, but to keep going, bacsue of having to drive to work.No matter what the weather is.


[System] sad: When my parents got a divorce.

[Assistant] When my parents got divorced when I was a kid, it was one of the hardest things for me.

[User] I understand your pain. My parents are also separated.

[Assistant] It does definitely get easier over time I suppose.. Now that I see my life I guess it was for the best.

[User] It just makes you mature faster. Just look at it like blessing in disguise.


[System] hopeful: When it was storming before going to the beach.

[Assistant] Just the other day my girlfriend and I were getting ready for the beach, but right before we left it started to pour rain.

[User] That sucks.   Did you end up coming up with an alternate plan?

[Assistant] Well, when looking outside you could see a clear patch in the distance... So we kinda just hoped for the best to wait it out.. We finally did get to go!

[User] That's good to hear.  How was the beach?


[System] surprised: I was on my way home from work and my gfirleind suprised me with a bunch of friends and family for a party.

[Assistant] There was one day after work that my girlfriend was planning a surprise party with a bunch of friends and family.

[User] That would take away from her time with you. Was it for you?

[Assistant] Yes, the party was for me! I was so shocked and had no clue it was coming.

[User] That would be a really nice surprise then!


[System] guilty: I stole a shirt I liked from my friend.

[Assistant] There was this one time I stole a shirt from my friend, and I feel pretty guilty about it.

[Assistant] why'd you steal it

[Assistant] Because I really liked it, and didn't think he'd care.

[Assistant] oh yea what kind of shirt was it


[System] lonely: My girlfriend went on a business trip, and I didn't have anyone to hang out wiht.

[Assistant] My girlfriend recently went on a business trip for a week, I was very lonely during this experience.

[User] What did you do to pass the time?

[Assistant] I mainly just played video games and watched tv.

[User] I love video games.


[System] sad: I had to give my pet up for adoption because my new apartment wouldn't take them.

[Assistant] I moved to a new apartment and they didn't accept my dog breed, so I had to give her up. :(

[User] That sucks, why didn't you find a new apartment?

[Assistant] Because here in my area in Florida, there isn't too many options for me.

[User] Maybe you should leave Florida.


[System] grateful: When my mom went out of her way to get me an awesome gift.

[Assistant] My mom doesn't have a ton of money, but last christmas she made sure to get me some awesome things!

[User] Oh thats nice, what was she able to get for you?

[Assistant] She got me a brand new laptop I had been wanting for gaming!

[User] thats awesome of her to be able to get you something you really wanted


[System] trusting: When I went on the slingshot ride, it was horrifying!

[Assistant] I went on this ride at the beach called the Slingshot.. It shoots you super high up in the air.. It was so teriffying, I had so much faith in the ride I wouldn't die!

[Assistant] Omg, I have seen one of those!

[Assistant] It was seriously so scary, I almost pooped myself!

[Assistant] I believe that!


[System] jealous: When I saw my girlfriend talking to this guy at a bar.

[Assistant] There was this time I went to the bar with my girlfriend and once I came out of the restroom, I saw her talking to some guy!

[User] What did you do?

[Assistant] Well I get super jealous and angry of course.. But in the end it was just a work friend.. Oops!

[User] Did she get mad at you?


[System] surprised: When my dog took a pee randomly on the couch! Like who does that!!!!

[Assistant] My dog randomly got up on my couch last week, and just started peeing.. Like what!?!?!??!?!

[User] haha that sucks! did you take him/her out to pee recently?

[Assistant] Not since lunch, so it's actually been about 4 hours.. I hate living on the top floor!

[User] What did you have for lunch?


[System] proud: When I graduated college. So long to get there!

[Assistant] I finally graduated college last year, it felt like it took SO long!

[User] That is amazing, good work.

[Assistant] Yes, I am so proud of myself for finally accomplishing it!

[User] How long did it take you?


[System] ashamed: When my girlfriend saw me cheating

[Assistant] My girlfriend saw me kissing another girl, who was kissing ME at the bar.. I was very drunk..

[User] Oh wow. Did she break up with you?

[Assistant] No.. I realized the mistake I made and took action so it never would happen again.

[User] Don't sweat it man. There is plenty of fish in the sea anyways.


[System] impressed: When I saw a guy on a bike doing a wheelie.

[Assistant] There was this one time I was driving down the road, and this guy on a sports bike popped a wheelie.. It was so sick!

[User] Nice, I wish I could do a wheelie!

[Assistant] I know! I do too.. I think I need to learn to ride a sports bike first.. Hehe oops!

[User] Yeah, I tried skateboarding in my childhood but was too scared to break something, lol.


[System] devastated: When I came home to my dog dead.

[Assistant] When i was younger, I came back to the house with my family to find our family pet dead.

[User] Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that. Did you ever figure out what happened?

[Assistant] He was very old, so I guess we were all expecting it.. He lived a good life!

[User] Oh, well that's a somewhat happy ending I suppose.


[System] disgusted: When my dog chewed up a hole in the carpet.

[Assistant] My dog chewed a hole in my carpet 2 weeks ago.. I was very disgusted to say the least!

[User] Haha I'm sorry! My dog is chill now but he ate a hole in the wall when he was a puppy lol

[Assistant] Oh dang, I guess I can't complain too much then, that's brutal!

[User] Yeah lol what breed is yours? Mine is a golden so he loves eating stuff. Now it's thankfully just actual food.


[System] guilty: I shouted to my mom

[Assistant] I have to go to confession at the church... i was a little mean to my mom, sometimes its difficult to be always nice

[Assistant] Yea, I am like that, too. Did you apologize?

[Assistant] Well yes when i shouted and i inmeaditelly apologize but i feel really bad

[Assistant] It happens. Like you said, we can't all be perfect.


[System] joyful: I went out with the children this morning to the park, I took the day to be with them, I felt very well

[User] We walked, we ate ice cream, we rode a bike, we laughed a lot, we enjoyed the outdoors, we were exhausted

[Assistant] Who did you do all those things with? Sounds like a wonderful day!

[User] I had time that I did not share with the children and that was something that was pending in my soul

[Assistant] They must have been really happy.

[User] Sometimes one gives priority to work


[System] impressed: I am mesmerized by the beauty of this world

[Assistant] The world is very beautiful

[User] There are so many spectacular views on this planet

[Assistant] Exactly. Look at the beautiful scenery around you. Nature at its very best. I am surprised people don't notice

[User] It's a shame that people are letting these marvels pass them by.

[Assistant] People are getting busy everyday with other stuff and they forget to breathe fresh air. Leads to s stressful life


[System] disappointed: I felt so disillusioned when I discovered someone who I admired for their vision was a jerk on a day-to-day basis.

[User] I can remember feeling so disillusioned when someone who I really admired as a visionary turned out to be a real jerk on a day-to-day basis.

[User] That can really make you lose your faith in wanting to trust people

[User] Well, it definitely makes you a little more realistic when you may be tempted to put someone on a pedestal. Not really fair to them *or* to yourself, is it?

[User] No not really because we are all human and make mistakes.


[System] terrified: I was so scared of tornadoes growing up -- whenever tornado warnings happened, I was extremely frightened!

[User] As a kid, I was SO frightened any time there was a tornado warning. Not sure if it was the Wizard of Oz effect or what -- I just remember being frozen with fear.

[Assistant] Oh, wow! My son was terrified of tornadoes because of that darn movie, and we don't really even get tornadoes where we live! Did you ever live through a tornado?

[User] That's the thing -- NO! I mean, there were some that were kind of close -- but NOTHING like what so many folks have to deal with. I just remember wanting a basement sooooo badly -- not something that's common where I grew up!

[Assistant] Aw, poor little thing! How did you overcome this? Or, are you still afraid of them?

[User] My mom said the best thing once when I was babysitting and a tornado warning went off and I didn't want my own fear to affect the little boy I was with -- she was on the phone and just said "You have big plans for the future, right? Nothing is going to get in the way of that." For some reason, it worked a charm ;-)

[Assistant] Your mom sounds awesome!  Wow, what a cool thing to say!


[System] guilty: I feel so bad when I think back to times that I yelled at my kids for no real good reason.

[User] I feel so bad when I think back to times that I got angry and yelled at my kids for no real good reason -- just a combination of the day's events and feeling irritated, really.

[Assistant] We get carried away with our emotions sometimes. Did you explain it to them?

[User] Yes! THAT I feel good about! Making a point to use it as an opportunity to talk. I've definitely used it when it comes to the way others might act -- emphasizing that it's not about *them*, it's really about the person and where they're at.

[Assistant] I'm glad you're not too prideful to admit your mistakes to your kids and used it as a teaching opportunity.

[User] I do look at that as a strength, in anyone. Being able to say "I'm sorry" and "I made a mistake."


[System] anticipating: I was SO excited the first time we were going to make an overseas move! I actually loved all the intense preparation, because of what I looked forward to as the payoff!

[User] I was SO excited the first time we were going to make an overseas move! I looked so forward to what I knew would be a life-changing adventure!

[Assistant] That is pretty awesome, I know if I ever got the chance it would change my life as well.

[User] I highly, highly recommend it. Not always easy -- culture shock *is* a thing! -- but such a great way to enhance one's perspective.

[Assistant] I understand that, as long as I could understand the language I think I would be great anywhere.


[System] surprised: in my birthday my friend will give i phone that is the most praising moment

[User] i would fear my gift

[Assistant] tell me more about this

[User] my partner gave me a an i phone it is very memorable and pleasure to me

[Assistant] if its an older iphone i would treasure it

[User] yes but its a valuable gift to me

[Assistant] everyone values things differently

[User] yeah but this gift is definitely different for me


[System] grateful: I'm so glad to have such a wonderful husband

[User] I have such an amazing husband! He works so hard so i could stay home with our baby

[User] What does he do for work?

[User] he is an armed guard

[User] Oh wow, that is a dangerous job.


[System] terrified: I hate driving at night because my vision isn't that great

[User] I have a pretty bad vision so i'm so scared to drive at night

[Assistant] have you had it tested ?

[User] yes, i even have glasses but because of astigmatism i don't see good at night even when i have glasses on

[Assistant] so you have like tunnel vision where ?


[System] annoyed: When I'm in the grocery store and everyone is in a rush. They are rude and bump into you.

[Assistant] It seems like today everyone in the grocery store was in such a rush. Hurrying around!

[Assistant] Yeah, that can be annoying especially in Walmart since so many people go there. It stresses you out when you don't need it to.

[Assistant] Yes! They cut in front, and bump into you. Plus being rude while they do it

[Assistant] Yeah, everyone just seems miserable, so it kind of drags you down, too. But it's a necessary evil.


[System] guilty: I was so tired and i yelled at my baby

[User] I'm so sleep deprived and my baby wanted to play in the middle of the night and i just yelled at him :( i feel so terrible

[User] that is why I am scared to have kids, that sounds terrible

[User] i love being a mother but sleep deprivation is so horrible

[User] that seems to be the case, you win some you lose some I guess


[System] anticipating: I have been really worked up lately waiting for my niece and newphews to visit. They are so important to me and we only get to see them for a few weeks a year.

[User] I love being around them and it's great to see them each year.

[User] Who would that be?

[User] O I'm sorry, my niece and nephews, only seem in the summer. Do you get company during the summer?

[User] I love seeing mine too. I know how happy that must make you feel. Mine are local.


[System] joyful: My kids are growing up well but fast. They are about to go to their next grades.

[Assistant] My kids are going into 7th and 8th grade in a couple weeks. They really are growing up well

[User] thats good to hear.  my kids will returning to school soon as well.  I cant wait!

[Assistant] My oldest daughter has some learning disabilities so I'm really proud of how she is doing. They're both growing up so fast

[User] thats cool


[System] content: i paid all my bills today, i feel great

[User] i paid all my bills today, i feel so relived and good

[User] Every little accomplishment counts! What bills did you have to pay?

[User] rent and electricity. we've been struggling financially so it's such a relieve to pay bills

[User] Sorry to hear that. Well, at least this will be a weight off your shoulders.


[System] prepared: I studied for 3 months straight in order to pass my bar exam and become a lawyer.

[User] I studied so hard for my bar exam so that I could become a lawyer. I prepared for almost 3 months straight!

[User] wow, you're so determined! Did you pass your exam?

[User] I did pass! It was a rough 3 months, but once I got there, I felt like I was ready.

[User] yay! congrats! that's really awesome. you should be proud of yourself


[System] surprised: So i'm flying with my baby and i was surprised when they told me i don't need to pay for my baby's ticket

[User] I was about to book a flight for my baby and i and i was so surprised to find out i didn't need to pay for my baby'sticket

[Assistant] That's really exciting! I would be so happy about that.

[User] i know! now i can spend the rest of the money on something cool

[Assistant] That's what I would do too. Do you have something in mind?


[System] angry: my husband called me a punk today for nothing

[User] my husband called me a punk today for no reason. and then when i told him he hurt my feelings he didn't even understand why

[User] Forget him. Get yourself a real man.

[User] no.. i love him. but he can be such a punk sometimes

[User] If he really loved you, he would pay attention to your every need. Kick him to the curb.


[System] apprehensive: When I first got my driver's license, I was so scared of getting into an accident.

[User] When I was younger, I got my driver's license. I was sooo scared to drive, because i didn't want to get into an accident.

[Assistant] Be positive. Don't deviate your mind while driving. Concentrate completely on driving. You can.

[User] I tried to tell myself that, but my dad got into a really bad accident once, and it has scared me ever since.

[Assistant] Sorry to hear this. Hope you'll get out from this fear and become a good driver.


[System] surprised: I started a garden and eventually got into trying to propagate plants by planting cuttings, eventually i had multiple tomato plants from a single small plant. infinite tomatoes!

[User] I recently started learning to propagate my tomato plants by planting clipped off branches.

[Assistant] Sounds cool.

[User] Yea, i put them in a glass of water for a week or two and they grow their own roots, wasn't expecting much.

[Assistant] Do you cook a lot with tomatoes

[User] I do yes! and since the method i used is working, i have tons of tomatoes!

[Assistant] Good for you!


[System] angry: It seems like no one lately can drive right. They're always speeding or cutting you off. Also no blinker use.

[Assistant] Around town it seems like traffic has been horrible lately. Driving around town is just crazy.

[User] People just don't seem to pay attention when they are in a hurry.

[Assistant] Yes, exactly! They are always speeding or cutting you off. And of course no blinker use!

[User] That's the part that bothers me the most. When they just cut in front of you with no warning.


[System] trusting: I met a friend online once and we met up in person.

[User] A few years ago, I became friends with someone through an online video game. Eventually we trusted each other, so we met up in person!

[User] I know a lot of people in real life through that kind of stuff. Has been pretty great for me after 11 years. How is it for you so far.

[User] I'd say it's going pretty well, we eventually got married! How did you meet your friends?

[User] Well we met through going to conventions and i even visited some myself. Really great bunch of people and i see places.


[System] caring: I acre for others when they are sick

[Assistant] OKay. I care for everyone

[User] well you sound like a good person

[Assistant] Thanks, I hope I am. You sound like one too

[User] why thank you!

[Assistant] because you gave me a compliment, which I feel is a genuine one


[System] surprised: I recently had an experience with a girl I used to love. We had a one night stand and it was crazy!

[User] I recently had a one night stand with a woman from my past. It caught both of us off guard

[Assistant] Oh wow. That's crazy.

[User] Yes, it was a very interesting time. I wish to continue talking to her despite living in different locations

[Assistant] I'm glad you made amends then and no drama.


[System] proud: My wife was able to get a job with Microsoft, and she didn't even need a 4-year degree!

[User] My wife was able to get a job with Microsoft without going to a four-year college!

[Assistant] That's pretty amazing. She must be skillful regardless.

[User] She really is. It just shows that you don't need to have a four-year degree in order to be successful.

[Assistant] Yea, experience and skills matter a lot more.


[System] annoyed: I walked my dog and she still pooped inside!

[User] I walked my dog outside, and she still pooped in the house! Ugh.

[Assistant] I am familiar with that.  That is frustrating.

[User] Yeah...Even though I take her outside, 10 minutes later, she'll poop or pee in the house. Why!?

[Assistant] I ask myself the same thing.  Sometimes I think they get mad at something we do.


[System] faithful: Every time I see my husband I know I could never cheat on him. We are both flirty people but know that it will never be worth messing up what we have.

[User] I think being with my husband makes me a better person

[Assistant] That is good. Do you have strong feeling for each other?

[User] Definetly, he's my best friend forever.

[Assistant] That is cute


[System] afraid:  I was home alone the other night and I heard a loud crash in the other room. It turned out to just be the dog ran into a shelf and knocked something down but it was scary.

[User] I really don't like when things happen when noone is home.

[Assistant] Things? Like what kind of things?

[User] Like stuff falling off shelfes because a dog runs into them! Hah, crazy I know.

[Assistant] I know what you mean! I'm literally doing the same thing right now, babysitting my neighbor's dogs in her big two-story house, all alone. Makes me feel like someone's watching me...


[System] content: I really love my life. This may seem crazy to some since it's fairly simple. I work online, I play games and then I read and watch tv and then I do chores.

[User] I really love my life right now.

[Assistant] Thats really good to hear.  Whats going on?

[User] Nothing really! I just love that I can work at home and have time to clean or cook whenever I want.

[Assistant] I work from home too.  Its so nice to be able to do laundry and things on my breaks.  Im so productive around the house

[User] Right? And no having to interact with others unless we choose too.

[Assistant] and I can stay in my PJs all day long!


[System] surprised: I got home and all of my friends were waiting for me to have a birthday party i did not know about!

[Assistant] So i just got home and all of my friends were there for a birthday party i have no clue! can you imagine my reaction?

[Assistant] Yeah, of course I can! That sounds heartless. Maybe that shows you who your friends truly are, and you should maybe look elsewhere... Could be a wake-up call.

[Assistant] Well the party was for me, hahaha they really got me on that one!

[Assistant] Oh, I misunderstood! I thought you meant you weren't invited to one that you later found out about. Hah! Then I guess the wake-up call is you have really good friends! So, you like surprise parties then? I never did.


[System] guilty: I recently forgot I owed a little bit of money to my mother in law for something. It ended up being ok but being reminded wasn't that pleasent.

[User] Its not fun being reminded of things you've forgotten.

[User] What kinds of things are you talking about?

[User] Owed money to my mother in law for something, $15, she reminded me in a less then nice way.

[User] That's not very fair, a kind reminder could've gone a long way.

[User] Exactly, especially since she owes me a lot more of something being paid over time.


[System] joyful: I recently got to take an amazing day trip to San Antonio. There was so much to see and do.

[User] I went to San Antonio the other day, was great to see that city.

[User] I have been there many times.

[User] O really? What's your favorite thing there?

[User] I love going to the Spurs games.


[System] proud: I gratuated from college with the highest score in the past 20 years

[Assistant] I just got back from my graduation! can you imagine after 5 years i graduated with the highest score of my college in the past 20 years!

[User] Wow that is a long time ago.

[Assistant] Yes! i studied so hard, can you imagine how i feel? i cannot believe it!

[User] Yes, where did you go to college?


[System] disgusted: I really was grossed out when my nephew threw up the other day. He had eaten to much sugar and was sick off and on for hours.

[User] I hate the sight of someone throwing up. My nephew did that the other and day and man.

[User] That is so disgusting.  I hate seeing that!

[User] Yea, he had eaten to much sugar and well, it didn't end well

[User] Sugar will do that to kids every time.  Just don't let them on a  roller coaster to make it even worse.


[System] angry: I step on a lego that my son left on the floor

[Assistant] I came home from work and step barefoot on one of my sons legos, i was so pissed!

[Assistant] That sounds really painful!  You should pick them up.

[Assistant] Yes, i was so mad i always tell them to pick the toys up.

[Assistant] They must not listen very well.


[System] jealous: My mother in law got to eat at one of my favorite places today. Qdoba- she was traveling back from Ohio and the airport had one.

[User] My mother in law got to eat Qdoba today, one of my favorite places I haven't had in awhile

[Assistant] Qdoba is the BOMB! Although, I think I prefer Chipotle slightly more.

[User] No way. queso all the way! They don't have one near by but she was traveling and the airport up north did.

[Assistant] Yeah, but Chipotle has queso now! But, yeah, it isn't as good as Qdoba queso.


[System] impressed: I saw a 3 year old boy who can talk 4 languages

[Assistant] Yesterday i watch on tv a kid who could speak 4 different languages at age 3, i was in shook!

[User] Wow! How is that even possible?

[Assistant] Well they are called wonder kids! i was in wonder, i also read about one who just graduated from college at age 11

[User] I wonder if they ever feel like they don't get a childhood?


[System] proud: I think my husband is great, in just 3 years he has become the best assistant manager in the his market.

[User] My husband is quite impressive to me.

[Assistant] Sounds like you are lucky.

[User] Yea, he's become the best manager in his market in just 3 years.

[Assistant] That is great!


[System] proud: My son scored three goals in his soccer match today!

[Assistant] This afternoon i went to my sons soccer game and he scored three goals! happiest dad ever!

[User] I figure your son is pretty happy as well.

[Assistant] Yes! i love him so dad, but i feel like my own achievement since i teach him how to play, he dedicated the three goals to me!

[User] couldn't ask for a better day


[System] embarrassed: I had to do a talk and tried to tell an amusing story to break the ice.  It apparently wasn't amusing in the slightest and everyone just stared at me.

[User] I was doing a presentation for work, and tried to tell a story about something kind of related to break the ice.  No one laughed or even really cracked a smile, so it put me off for the rest of the presentation.

[User] That is no fun, you always hope that first one hits so they are more receptive the rest of the time

[User] Yeah, and I really thought it was a decent story.  Nothing ground breaking, but at least should have gotten a chuckle.

[User] Well there is always next time!


[System] lonely: My wife has been in Europe for the past month for school.  I've been mostly alone since she left, as we only recently moved and I don't really know anyone outside of work.

[User] My wife went to Germany to attend a language course at the end of June.  I've been mostly spending time with my dogs while she's been gone since we recently moved and I don't really know anyone outside of work.

[User] you should take the dogs to a dog park after work and meet people!

[User] That's a good idea.  I don't know where there's a dog park near me, I should look into that.

[User] Definitely. I think even Waze app will tell you in you search 'around me'.


[System] surprised: I felt this morning I left the house and my neighbor gave me some flowers ... incredible I did not expect it

[User] Something I did not expect from a neighbor, this morning he gave me some beautiful flowers

[User] Wow, that is sweet of him, does he have a crush on you?

[User] It was a nice gesture on his part. But I do not know

[User] Huh, well maybe he is starting his campaign lol

[User] But beyond that. Small gestures make others' lives happier


[System] annoyed: My neighbor had her dog outside on the walkway between our condo units.  This dog is loud and doesn't like my dogs, so we have to avoid when it's outside.  I needed to walk my dogs and couldn't because it was out there.

[User] My neighbor has a really annoying little dog that she always brings outside when she's smoking.  It barks constantly at everything and she doesn't try to keep it quiet.

[User] What type of dog is it?

[User] A Pomeranian.  I don't have anything against that type of dog specifically, but this one is just terrible.

[User] I get that, some are just not well trained at all


[System] jealous: My husband received a call this morning and he became very nervous, which put me in a bad mood,

[User] This morning my husband received a call, he got nervous, I think it was a woman ... difficult

[User] Oh? That's not good. Do you think he has lots of secrets?

[User] I think so ... I'm a little worried, because of the situation

[User] I'm sorry :( I do hope things can be worked out

[User] Thank you for your solidarity


[System] sentimental: I was looking at pictures from my wedding, specifically one of a bunch of my friends and I having a drink.  I got a little wistful for hanging out with friends like that.

[User] I have a great picture from my wedding where my friends and I are in a circle having a shot, makes me want to go hang out with them again.

[Assistant] I assume you don't get to see them often?

[User] Yeah, we moved away a few months after the wedding for my wife to go to Graduate school.

[Assistant] That's too bad. I bet you miss them.


[System] sad: Yesterday I remembered the anniversary of my mother's death, something hard, hard to remember

[User] Yesterday, a difficult day, the anniversary of the death of my mother

[User] Sorry to hear about the bad news.

[User] Thank you for your solidarity

[User] How long ago did she die?

[User] seven years .... I miss her


[System] hopeful: I had interviewed for a job I really wanted.  I was waiting for a response for a little while.

[User] I went for an interview for a job I really wanted and ended up waiting a long time before I heard anything.  I managed to keep my spirits up for a good long while.

[User] I hope you got it.

[User] I did actually!  It's a good job, especially since the market where I am isn't great for my field.

[User] Congrats! You deserve it for keeping your faith!


[System] sentimental: My daughter told me she did not love me because I scolded her

[User] My daughter is angry with me, she says she does not need me, because I scolded her

[Assistant] How old is she?

[User] She is 9 years old but she is a very focused girl

[Assistant] Well, you know she'll get over it, but it does hurt.

[User] that's right ... but I think I've surpassed


[System] prepared: For the kitchen test tomorrow, I studied well and I feel winner

[User] Hello, tomorrow I have the cooking test and I feel safe. I am sure that I will approve with an excellent rating

[Assistant] oh, how nice. What are your plans in that regard for the future?

[User] have my own restaurant

[Assistant] What a dream come true for you that'll be.

[User] with work, effort and clarity in the goal ... I will surely arrive


[System] proud: I made enough money to pay my bills

[User] I'm so happy i made enough money yesterday to pay my bills!

[Assistant] Oh man, bills. That's awesome!

[User] yes, such a relieve!

[Assistant] Does anyone help you with the bills?


[System] grateful: I am happy with my friend, she has been an angel, she has not left me alone in difficult times

[User] Sometimes we have angels, called friends, I'm happy because God sent me mine

[Assistant] awh thats so sweet how long have you two known one another?

[User] We are 12 years old, but we have had difficult moments, but we have overcome it

[Assistant] sounds like a great friendship!

[User] That's right ... I'm happy


[System] disgusted: My son misbehaved with his friends and I had to punish him

[User] my son behaved badly with his friend, I treat him badly, I had to punish him

[Assistant] Oh no. How old is he?

[User] He is 12 years old, but he must understand that friendship is something sacred

[Assistant] Friendship is special. Did he do something to his friend?

[User] he hit him and said a bad word


[System] jealous: When my brother got out of college he had a job and a car and was doing so fucking great for himself. Everything was lined up and he was ready to take off in the world. The moment I graduated college I have nothing that I can do. I took the same degree but that 5 year gap has led me to have nothing compared to him.

[Assistant] When my brother got out of college he had a job and a car and was doing so fucking great for himself. Everything was lined up and he was ready to take off in the world. The moment I graduated college I have nothing that I can do. I took the same degree but that 5 year gap has led me to have nothing compared to him. It was so fucking annoying

[Assistant] Man, that's gotta be a horrible feeling. I think it would help if you try not to compare yourself to others.

[Assistant] I do my best but sometimes that's super hard. I guess that's just one of those things everyone got to deal with.

[Assistant] I hope things turn out better for you. Keep fighting.

[Assistant] You too, thank you!


[System] confident: I had a job interview and went in feeling very good about it.

[User] I went to a job interview a few days ago, and I feel like I totally rocked it!

[Assistant] Oh man, that's awesome. I hope you get it!

[User] Thanks a bunch! It pays much better than my current job, so I really hope I do, but I think I got it in the bag.

[Assistant] Glad you rocked that interview. Sounds like it's gonna be a sweet gig.


[System] sentimental: I was digging through my old stuff yesterday, and I found my old security blanket.

[User] I went through some of my old stuff yesterday, and I found my security blanket that I used when I was a kid!

[Assistant] Awww I bet that brought back memories.

[User] It really did. It kinda made me sad, because it was all tattered and dirty. I ended up washing it.

[Assistant] What will you do with it now?


[System] disgusted: It really bothers me seeing all the back to school shopping. Parents are more worried about appearance than education. It's about school supplies not buying Jordans.

[Assistant] You know, I see all the back to school shopping and I think parents have their priorities mixed up.

[Assistant] How so?

[Assistant] Parents are more worried about appearances than learning. It's about school supplies not new Jordans or under armor.

[Assistant] That's pretty much teaching their kids to worry about appearances than learning, too. That's too bad.


[System] caring: I found a stray kitten and nursed him back to health.

[User] I found a poor stray kitten on the side of the road, and I nursed him back to full health. Poor thing.

[User] Did you name it?

[User] I did! His name is Alphy.

[User] That's cute. I bet he's happy.


[System] sad: Its hard to deal with when your kids are getting older and have to handle their own problems. As a mom you can't just step in and fix everything like you want to.

[Assistant] It's hard as a parent, when your kids are teenagers and have to handle their own problems

[Assistant] You kinda want to hold their hand, but you know it's best they solve some problems on their own. You can't be with them all the time.

[Assistant] I know, they mommy in me wants to just jump in and fix it all like I used to

[Assistant] It is truely for the best. Try not to worry.


[System] proud: My wife got a new job with Microsoft.

[User] My wife called me this morning and told me she scored a new job with Microsoft!

[Assistant] that's amazing! She must be excited.

[User] She is so excited. She's even making more than I am.

[Assistant] Must be nice to have more income coming into the family.


[System] caring: My dog has been scratching at his ears a lot. We took him to the vet and got him meds. Now he isn't feeling good today and I want to take care of him.

[Assistant] I felt bad my dogs ears have been bothering him. We had to finally take him to the vet yesterday.

[User] Is he going to be okay?

[Assistant] Yeah, it was ear mites and he got medicine for it. You can tell he isn't feeling good from side effects so I've been babying him.

[User] Well I bet he appreciates that. We all want to be babied sometimes.


[System] guilty: I bought my wife a chocolate bar, and I intended to give it to her, but I ended up eating it.

[User] I bought a chocolate bar for my wife at the store, and I was going to give it to her, but I ended up eating it...I feel bad.

[User] Lol. Did you tell her? You can just buy another one.

[User] lol I didn't tell her...Should i?

[User] Just buy another one and don't eat it. lol


[System] angry: My boss scolded me for something I didn't do.

[User] Don't you hate it when you get in trouble for something you didn't do? My boss got mad at me for someone else's mistake.

[User] That's sucks. Does the culprit know?

[User] Yeah, that's the worst part. They warned me that I was going to get yelled at because of something they did.

[User] That is unacceptable. What are you going to do?


[System] excited: I'm going on a cruise to Alaska.

[User] I'm taking a vacation and going on a cruise to Alaska next week!

[Assistant] That sounds so fun!

[User] I've never been, so it's going to be an amazing experience. I'm a little nervous that I'll get seasick.

[Assistant] Take some medication with you just in case.


[System] nostalgic: the color of your eyes, the sweetness of lips, the beauty of hair, is a memory that I will not forget

[User] Hello, I think I will not forget the beauty of her hair, the sweetness of her lips and the clarity of her eyes

[Assistant] So...what happened to her

[User] she died ... my mother

[Assistant] In real life? Or are you making this up

[User] It is true...


[System] terrified: I saw a dog devouring a bird ... I was so impressed by the violence

[User] Hello, I never imagined the violence that can unleash a dog attacking a bird ... I was impressed

[User] I've never imagined something like that before. Where did you see this?

[User] in a big dog ... in the park

[User] That's nuts. Did the owner do anything?

[User] I did not have the strength to control it


[System] caring: I really feel for my neighbor. She just lost her husband of 40 years last year and she has been a bit lost with out him, so I've helped her out a few times.

[User] My poor neighboor is suffeing a lot without her husband

[Assistant] I suffer a lot too when my wife is gone. What happened to him?

[User] He passed away from cancer.

[Assistant] Ah, the evil cancer. Took my grandmother as well. I am sure he's off in a better place now.


[System] surprised: I had a pleasent event happen the other day. I found out a nephew of mine wants to come live in Texas for a year with the family he has down here.

[User] I enjoyed my day the other day, found out something good! Newphew may come to live with us for ayear.

[Assistant] Nice! How old is your nephew?

[User] 11, he wants to see us for more then 2 weeks a year.

[Assistant] That's good. Gotta build and maintain those family bonds. I should be doing the same once my nephew gets older.


[System] ashamed: I made the mistake of loosing a piece of my mother in laws tupperwear. I left it outside and someone stole it.

[User] I lost something of my mother in laws the other day, I feel so bad.

[Assistant] That sucks. Can you make it up to her somehow?

[User] I'll have to buy her another piece of tupperwear, it seems silly but it's expensive stuff!

[Assistant] At least those things come in sets, so you can keep part of it?

[User] I may do that!


[System] anxious: I was waiting to see if I was going to receive an award

[Assistant] I was waiting to see if i was going to receive an award

[Assistant] It is a work award or something?

[Assistant] Its an award due to achieving my work I have worked hard for

[Assistant] I am sure you are going to get it.

[Assistant] I appreciate that. Thank you


[System] apprehensive: I recently took a job offer at a new company. I was hesitant to take the offer due to low pay, but the quality of job seems higher than my current position.

[User] Wow! Congrats on your new job! I can understand why you are apprehensive, but it sounds like a good opportunity.

[User] Why Thank you!

[User] No problem! Everything will work out in the end. No need to worry.

[User] THanks for being so understanding!  I feel a little better now.


[System] apprehensive: I felt so nervous going into my latest job interview.

[User] I felt sooooo nervous going to my last job interview! Nerves must occur in proportion to how badly you *want* something!

[Assistant] I know what you mean. Did you get the job?

[User] I did! The company does something that I actually like -- a panel interview vs a series of one-on-ones. Have you ever had an interview like that?

[Assistant] I have not. What is it?

[User] It just means you're in a room with several representatives from different parts of the company. To me, that helps it feel more like a conversation -- and it's more time efficient too!


[System] annoyed: It really bothers me when people let their toddler run around the mall. None the less smelling like a litter box that hasn't been cleaned in a month.

[Assistant] I know I'm not a perfect parent but some just aren't good at it or don't care.

[Assistant] There are some bad parents out there, that's for sure. Is it hard to be a parent?

[Assistant] It is when it comes to all the unexpected stuff. Went to the mall today and lady was letting her toddler run all over the mall smelling like a dirty litter box. It smelled horrible.

[Assistant] Lol, that is terrible. She should have changed his diaper before leaving the house what the heck...


[System] angry: It always feels like I'm not being listened to. My family seems to be deaf when I speak, when of course, I know they aren't.

[Assistant] I always feel like no one hears me. Like When I speak it falls on deaf ears.

[Assistant] That sucks. Maybe it's time to get new friends?

[Assistant] Well, for the most part it's my family. My husband, kids and pets. I know they're not deaf and it's frustrating!

[Assistant] Don't worry, it will get better. I know you deserve better


[System] joyful: My daughter is a teenager now, so we don't get to spend much time together. Today we had a girls even out, went shopping and out to eat.

[Assistant] My daughter is a teenager now so we don't spend as much time together as we used to.

[Assistant] I know exactly what you mean. My sister is entering her teenage years. I feel like it's all I can do to just not be annoying to her, so I can't even imagine what it's like for a mom.

[Assistant] Yeah, luckily we had a fun girls evening out today. We went out to eat and did a bunch of shopping.

[Assistant] That's good! All it takes is a good day once in a while to keep things on track until they get older. My mom just tries to be as patient and considerate with my sister so that she still feels motivated to communicate with her.

[User] Oh no, what happened?

[User] placed an order online and the appliance place didnt have it, so they gave me something else without telling me

[User] Oh, that's odd! I'm sorry they didn't tell you what was going on.

[User] Thanks for hearing me out. I filed a complaint at the council. I hope they listen

[User] No problem! I hope so too. Good luck with that!

[User] I kept myself occupied with movies and video games. But it wasn't the same as having real company.

[Assistant] I understand.


[System] hopeful: that I'll get to visit the south side and eat my favorite take out

[User] I can't wait to travel south to get my favorite take out. Can't find it here.

[Assistant] That is a very long drive! How long will it take to get there?

[User] About an hour. But it'll be worth it.

[Assistant] It must be very good, if you're willing to go that far!


[System] content: I'm happy with where I'm at in life.

[User] I'm quite happy with where I live. I have 3 swimming pools to use anytime I want and also a gym.

[Assistant] Wow, you're very lucky. Do you share the facilities with other people?

[User] Yes but there's hardly anyone else who uses them because they only come for 2 weeks out of the year for a vacation. I'm here permanently.

[Assistant] Which part of the country are you in? Are you by the beach?


[System] surprised: I could not believe for my 40th birthday, I came home from work that evening and the house was quiet. I walked in and the house was filled with people shouting Happy Birthday. That was quite a shock.

[Assistant] I have never been so shocked than when my husband threw me a birthday party without me knowing.

[User] Was it fun?

[Assistant] It was so much fun. I thought is was going to be another normal day. Wake up, go to work, etc. but I was wrong about that!

[User] Was it recently? Happy Birthday

[User] Thank you for your solidarity

[Assistant] Take care of yourself and your family.

[User] thanks


[System] surprised: finding out about baby boy

[User] We knew she was pregnant, but didn't know the gender yet. Imagine my shock when I saw the ultrasound for the gender!

[User] I am sure it will be fine, do you have a preference

[User] Well it's a boy. Which is what I have been wanting since we met

[User] I am happy for you then


[System] faithful: I remain loyal to my wife always

[User] Even though there are plenty of flirts around, I remain loyal to my wife.

[Assistant] That is good, it is very important to be loyal in a healthy relationship!

[User] It is the most important thing to me. I have told her since day one, which was 5 years ago now.

[Assistant] Good for you! I wish more people were like this, unlike my ex!


[System] jealous: I have a friend who got a new truck, it's basically my dream truck. I'm really envious of him for having that truck.

[User] My friend got a new truck, I'm really envious of him.

[Assistant] You should channel that envy into motivation!

[User] I agree, if I work hard I could buy that truck.

[Assistant] Exactly, be positive and you can buy one for yourself!

[User] I should, I just need the drive to get out there and do it. I need to stop wasting money.

[User] I gave thanks in spite of the difficulties

[Assistant] Good, one should always be positive

[System] guilty: I feel bad because I do not feel anything for my husband ... but I feel bad I do not dare to tell him

[User] Hi, I feel bad because I've realized that I do not love my husband, but I do not have the courage to tell him

[Assistant] That's a pretty heavy realization...better tell him now that regret it later

[User] You're right

[Assistant] Best of luck to you

[User] thanks

[System] lonely: My wife went out of the country for 2 months, leaving me alone with the dogs.  We had just moved so I didn't really know anyone at the time.

[User] My wife just went out of town for school for 2 months.  I don't really know anyone here, so I don't know what I'm going to do while she's gone.

[User] It is an excellent opportunity, to know other people and places, to open up to the possibility, I assure you that it will go to you very well

[User] I'm sure it is great for her, but it makes me feel a little unsure of what to do with myself.

[User] You do the same thing ... the opportunity is for both


[System] embarrassed: Yesterday I made a serious mistake I made a comment without bad intentions of the elders and my father heard it and corrected me on good terms, but I felt so bad

[User] Hello, I made a serious mistake. I made a comment without bad intentions of the elders. I related them to the dinosaurs, and my father heard it ... he looked me in the eyes ... and he told me that you too could be one of them ... I felt bad

[User] That sounds like it's rough, did your father accept your apology?

[User] yes, but I feel like a cockroach

[User] Well, I'm sure he understands, and you shouldn't feel too bad, as long as you apologized you're fine.

[User] thanks


[System] guilty: I'm on a diet and I ate three chocolate bars yesterday.

[User] I'm supposed to be on a diet, but I couldn't help myself and I ate three chocolate bars.

[Assistant] it happens we have to reward ourselves sometimes. dark chocolate is actually good for you!

[User] But I'm supposed to be on a diet! I can't lose weight if I have no self control :(

[Assistant] hey it was just one day! you got this... work extra hard for the next 5 days!


[System] grateful: my husband God a job!!

[User] my husband lost his job a couple of months ago and yesterday he finally got a new job!!

[Assistant] That's awesome

[User] He is such a hard working man! He works so much so i could stay home with our baby

[Assistant] I'm sure your supportiveness inspires him to work as hard as he does


[System] annoyed: I was trying to take a nap and my neighbor had her loud tiny dog outside.  It kept me up and she wouldn't shut it up for anything.

[User] I was trying to take a nap the other day and my neighbor wouldn't shut her tiny barky dog up.

[Assistant] I totally feel you on that. I swear my neighbors have to be the loudest at night slamming their car doors and yelling outside right in front of my bedroom window.

[User] Ugh, that's the worst.  Thankfully we're on the second floor so we don't have to deal with car noise too much.

[Assistant] My bedroom is first floor, and literally maybe 4 feet from the parking lot. Lucky me. Lucky you tho too with animals. lol


[System] disappointed: I lost my favorite hoodie somewhere, how could i lose a hoodie!!

[User] I lost my favorite hoodie somewhere. I'm so upset. Like how could i lose a hoodie? it's so big, did i just leave it somewhere?

[Assistant] Did you retrace your steps

[User] I've been to so many places on that day it would be really hard to do it

[Assistant] I used to lose stuff all the time.  Then I learned to relax and actively imagine all the places I'd been to.  It worked for me then, found a G-shock watch a pair of nikes and my wallet


[System] excited: i'm going to see my parents in 3 weeks!!!

[User] I'm going to see my parents in 3 weeks!! I didn't see them since 2014! I'm so excited

[User] that's great! I bet they are equally excited if not more :) are you travelling alone?

[User] no, with my little baby. they've never met my son, they can't wait

[User] oh i bet! you guys will have such a wonderful time together


[System] joyful: My wife was out of the country for a couple months, and when she came back I went to get her from the airport.  We spent the whole day doing random things together.

[User] My wife had been out of the country for 2 months for school.  I left early to get to the airport to get her when she came back because I was excited to see her.

[User] I would be too, that is a long time!

[User] Yeah, it's especially long since we only recently moved and I don't really know anyone outside of work.

[User] Wow that would make for a lonely timeframe


[System] angry: The other morning at 4 am I was woken by my neighbor's smoke alarm going off. At first I didn't know what was going on, then I realized and didn't appreciate it!

[Assistant] I wish my neighbors were more considerate. They woke me up at 4am recently.

[User] Wow did youcall someone about that?

[Assistant] No point. Their smoke alarm went off and management don't care anyway.

[User] Wow, that sucks, that is why I wanna live all alone!

[Assistant] Me too! I really don't appreciate their lack of manners - it's as if they own the whole complex!


[System] embarrassed: my friend came over yesterday and i farted right in front of her

[User] my friend came over yea=sterday and we were sitting on the couch chit chatting and when i got up i accidentally farted. so embarrasing

[Assistant] Oh my, did they notice you farted?

[User] she did, she didn't say anything but i know she heard it

[Assistant] Must have rather awkward. Remember, farting is just natural and I am sure she understands that.


[System] lonely: My girlfriend went on a trip with her friends, and left me alone at home.

[User] My girlfriend went on a week trip with her friends, and left me alone to fend for myself.

[User] I am sorry, how have you been passing the time

[User] Mostly been playing video games, but it's so boring without her.

[User] I love video games, you should buy a switch!


[System] grateful: For the good things and those that are not so good, I must give thanks ... the good ones make me feel good, the others make me grow

[User] Hello ... I give thanks for the good things and the things that do not, the good things make me feel good and the satisfaction and the bad things are internal growth

[Assistant] that is a very optimistic way to look at life . i should actually look at life that way too instead of getting overwhelmed when things do not go my way

[User] For me it was a hard learning ... but after many blows ... I assimilated it

[Assistant] how long have you looked at life this way? is it sustainable ?

[User] for a year ... you assimilate it when you realize that you are responsible ... neither the people nor the circumstances are responsible

[Assistant] this is completely true. it involves totally re conditioning the mind .

[User] condition the mind and spirit

[Assistant] i would totally attempt it


[System] devastated: I lost my mother to breast cancer several years ago and I am still grieving the loss.

[User] I lost my mother to breast cancer several years ago and I am still grieving the loss.

[User] I am so very sorry. Have you had time to talk about it

[User] yes, I talk about it but it really does not help much. I pray a lot and that gives me some comfort

[User] that's good prayer can comfort, maybe you should talk to your pastor

[User] I dont have a pastor, or a church I can go to. I meditate and I pray and I watch preachers on Sunday morning tv. All of those do help some.


[System] apprehensive: I was hoping to move across the country, but I'm nervous.

[User] I had plans to move from Florida to California, but I'm starting to get cold feet...

[User] Ooh, that's a big jump. I was considering the same thing, but I' one state above :)

[User] Ohh! Did you change your mind? I'm trying to convince myself that it's going to be better for me to make the move.

[User] I put it on hold until I fly up there this year to check things out. It's quite a big decision, and I would recommend going there for a while just to see what it's like


[System] hopeful: One day is ... One more day of learning, one more day to smile, one more day to give a hug, a day to make someone happy

[User] today I think today is a day to learn, to hug, to smile, to make someone happy

[Assistant] Yes, realistically I wish it were possible to do that everyday but general stresses of life get in the way

[User] that's right ... but I dedicate an hour to do that, to my children I kiss them, my neighbor smiled at him and from life I try to learn something

[Assistant] Maybe thats a good idea, to try and set aside a small amount of time a day to do it instead of trying to do it all the time along with everything else going on. Good idea!

[User] It makes me feel good that my reflection serves you ... I send you a smile


[System] lonely: I'm just sitting here alone in the room... no friends, no love

[User] I'm so lonely. I mean... i have no friends, no husband, no kids. i wish i had at least somebody in my life

[User] Do you have any hobbies that may help you to meet people?

[User] not really. i love playing video games and watch tv. i'm socially awkward

[User] Same here.  Try to take advantage of your gaming and be more outgoing during gametime.


[System] excited: My wife was coming back into the country after 2 months away.  I left early to get to the airport because I wanted to see her so much.

[Assistant] that sounds like fun, where in the ozakrs?

[User] Down close to the border line of arkansas and the ozarks. It is around the current river


[System] angry: When planning my wedding the caterer we were trying to hire was completely ignoring my wife every time she tried to talk to her.

[User] I was planning my wedding and trying to get a caterer.  The one we were looking at was completely ignoring every time my wife tried to communicate with them, to the point where I told them off and went with someone else.

[Assistant] Sounds like you made the right decision.  What a bunch of A-holes

[User] Yeah, it was weird, the caterer was a woman so I can't imagine it was like a sexism thing, but she responded to me almost instantly every time.

[Assistant] Hm maybe she liked you ha


[System] guilty: I ordered a pizza from Domino's and it took forever to get to me.  When it finally came I asked the delivery girl if it was supposed to be free because it took so long.  She wasn't sure because this was literally her first day, but she didn't charge me.  Later I went on their website and couldn't find any description of such a free-pizza policy and I felt terrible, wondering if the store was going to take the cost of the pizza out of this girl's paycheck.

[User] I got a free pizza from Domino's but felt bad about how it happened.

[Assistant] Free pizza is good! How did you get it?

[User] The pizza took forever to get delivered so I asked if it was free.  The delivery girl, who was brand new, didn't know so she just didn't charge me.

[Assistant] That is awesome!

[User] Well, I like free pizza for sure. But I still felt a bit concerned that they might take the cost of it out of her paycheck.


[System] hopeful: when you expect more you have been disapponted more

[User] how was your day?

[Assistant] It was fine how about you?

[User] yeah good. whats your name?

[User] oh its fine nice to chat with you unknown friend

[Assistant] My day was great so far!  How about you?

[User] yeah fine great day

[Assistant] That is good to hear!  I'm am sure you are grateful to experience such a good day!

[User] yeah nice to talk to you.


[System] embarrassed: Once, I was in a college in a classroom. I was sitting there and suddenly I realized that I have worn wrong pair of socks. No one was knowing it as I have worn shoes. But, when we have to go in church we have to remove shoes. So, at that time, a friend of mine spotted me. That time, that made a fun of me and I was in a little awkward situation.

[User] I wore wrong pair of socks to the college. But, no was there to spot it. But, when we have to go in for a church we have to first remove the shoes. At, that time friend of mine spotted with with wrong pair of shoes. They made a fun of me. That was very awkward situation.

[User] Oh that sucks :( Maybe organize the socks better?

[User] My room was messy as there was a party last night in my house and friends were enjoying in whole house. That is the reason.

[User] Ah. Well, chalk it up to one of those funny but awkward moments of life then!

[User] ohh


[System] hopeful: I interviewed for a job and thought the interview went decent.  I just had to wait to hear back from them.

[User] I went for a job interview, and it seemed to go pretty well.

[Assistant] That's great! When will you find out?

[User] It should be a couple weeks, assuming they go at the pace they said they would.

[Assistant] Good luck! I hope you get it.


[System] lonely: My wife and I moved for her to go to school, and sometimes I really miss my friends from home.

[User] I moved far away from my hometown for the first time so my wife could go to grad school.  It's hard to be away from my friends.

[User] I know how it feels to be homesick, but you have to put your wife first.

[User] Yeah, definitely, that's why I went ahead with the move.  I'm just not very good at meeting people, so it can be tough.

[User] You and your wife should go out to events and try to meet new people.


[System] sad: I dropped my wife off at the airport for her 2 month trip out of the country.  I felt really bad all the way home.

[User] I took my wife to the airport for her trip out of the country for 2 months.  I felt really bad on the way home.

[User] Ohh man, that is a long time to be alone.  What are you going to do while she is gone?

[User] Mostly work and hang out with the dogs.  We just moved recently and I don't really know anyone outside of work.

[User] I'm sorry.  Where did she go?

[User] Germany for a language course.


[System] angry: I was in a drive-thru line and someone cut in front of some other people.  I confronted the guy about it and he basically told me to take a hike.  I was furious and blew up at him.  Finally he left the line but he flipped me off when he did.

[User] I almost got in a fight in a drive-thru lineup.

[Assistant] What happened? Did someone bump on your car?

[User] No, the person cut in front of some other people.  I confronted him about it and we got into a shouting match.

[Assistant] Be carefull , you don't know the cray people that is out there.

[User] Yes, afterwards I regretted the confrontation.  I thought I could have easily been shot.


[System] embarrassed: I was supposed to meet a friend on his boat at a marina. I'd never seen his boat but he described it to me.  Unfortunately when I got to the marina he wasn't there, so I got on the first boat that looked like what he described.  But it wasn't his!  Fortunately my friend saw me before the boat's owner did and I got off and on the right one.

[User] I got on a stranger's boat by accident at the marina.

[User] That must have been awkward.

[User] Fortunately the owner didn't see me before I got off, but I sure felt stupid about it.

[User] Don't worry about it. It happens to the best of us.

[User] Indeed.  And next time I'll be sure to double-check whose it is before I come aboard.


[System] sentimental: I was looking at old pictures from my first apartment after college, and started thinking about all the times I had there hanging out with friends.

[User] I was looking at old pictures from my first "adult" apartment, and thinking about all the times I spent there with friends and roommates.

[Assistant] Nostalgia can be wonderful, can't it?

[User] It can, but it can also hurt sometimes.  It's probably just nostalgia hardcore, but sometimes I wish I could go back to that time.

[Assistant] I feel the same when listening to 90s alternative music


[System] annoyed: Last night I was trying to get some time to myself, but the kids were screaming and my friend was fighting with her mom.

[User] Last night was crazy. I couldn't relax even though I really wanted to. I was in a house full of people screaming and yelling.

[Assistant] What was going on!?

[User] My friend and her mom were fighting about money, and my friend's daughters were wanting attention.

[Assistant] sounds like a lot of drama ugh i hope you get some rest tonight

[User] I hope so too. I plan on going back to my place just to get away from all of this.


[System] hopeful: I had a job interview today and i think it really well.

[User] I had a job interview today and i think it really well.

[User] that's really good you feel pretty secure about it then?

[User] The interviewer told me that I was his favorite interview so far. And I think my qualifications are a really good match for the company.

[User] oh wow then that is really good! For someone to say that! You should be very proud of yourself.


[System] embarrassed: I just called someone out for stealing a picture of my dog for internet points when it turns out it wasn't my dog just a similar looking one.

[User] I saw a picture of a dog on reddit that looked a lot like mine so I called out the person saying it was a picture of my dog, but it turned out I was wrong.  Whoops.

[Assistant] Thar was an embarasing moment for sure

[User] Yeah, I don't like calling people out in general, don't know what made me think to do it this time.

[Assistant] Maybe you are felling lonely these days?


[System] furious: After a stressful day at work I found my car's tires had been slashed! I couldn't help but scream.

[Assistant] I'm surprised the police are going to let they get away with it.

[User] Did you have an enemy or someone as a suspect?

[Assistant] I think the mailman might be mad at me because I keep ordering heavy items.

[User] Weird reaction. I feel like he should just do his job and not key your car.


[System] apprehensive: I'm a bit worried this morning. I get the results of some tests my doctor did on me. Hope everything's ok.

[Assistant] My test results come back today. I do hope everythings ok.

[User] What are you worrying about?

[Assistant] I had an abnormal ekg and they did a stress test on my heart to make sure everything's alright.

[User] Well, I hope it's alright, heart problems is not something you should take lightly.

[Assistant] Absolutely! I'm just over-worrying because I've always been so healthy. Just a little stressed out.


[System] nostalgic: I went back to my home where I grew up and a flood of good memories came bavk to me. I had so many fun times with my best friends when I was a child.

[User] I went back to my home where I grew up and a flood of good memories came bavk to me. I had so many fun times with my best friends when I was a child.

[Assistant] What is your favorite memory with your friends?

[User] Playing outside in the summer time. Many fun summer times. Swimming holes, icecream, catching fireflies.

[Assistant] That sounds like so much fun! I'm glad you got to go back to revisit.

[User] Me too!

[User] The more problems I have to deal with, the more faith, and faithful I become. I am stronger in my faith when bad things happen in my life and around me.

[User] I'm glad to hear you have something you can lean on in hard times. I'm personally an Atheist but I can respect someone with faith.

[User] I was told once by a dear departed friend that "what ever floats a persons boat it good because it keeps people sane as long as no one is being hurt.

[User] I absolutely agree. As long as you aren't hurting anyone, do whatever you please!

[User] yeh to that


[System] ashamed: I had a job interview yesterday that I thought went really well, but it didn't. They just emailed me back and told me that I didn't get the job.

[User] I had a job interview yesterday that I thought went really well, but it didn't. They just emailed me back and told me that I didn't get the job.

[User] Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that! It doesn't necessarily mean it went bad, though. Maybe they just had a more qualified candidate?

[User] I'm just pretty embarrassed, I was so confident. This whole job hunting adventure has been a complete nightmare.

[User] Keep your head up! Job hunting is usually stressful for most people. You got this!


[System] jealous: My coworker received a promotion over me. I am envious of his newfound success.

[User] I can understand why you might be jealous of your coworker. I would try to keep your head up.

[User] I'm not jealous of my co-worker though?  What makes you think i'm jealous?

[User] You said that you were envious of his promotion. It is understandable though.

[User] I didn't say that.

[User] Okay, I am glad to hear that you are no longer feeling jealous.


[System] guilty: I have to leave my poor dog at home while I go to work.

[User] I just got a puppy, but I have to leave him at home while I go to work. I feel so bad.

[User] That would be sad, do you keep him in a cage?

[User] Fortunately, no. I let him run around the house, but I feel like he gets bored, so I keep the TV on for him.

[User] That's nice, what does he enjoy watching?


[System] guilty: I stole a candy bar from a local gas station. I am not pleased with my actions.

[User] Stealing is wrong. I would also be ashamed of my actions.

[User] Absolutely. Although the world isn't so black and white. Sometimes a person may have to steal to survive. Is it really wrong then?

[User] If that is the case, I can understand why they had to do it. In circumstances where someone is stealing solely for unneeded person gain, then it is most definitely wrong.

[User] I agree. Stealing someone else's possession when it wasn't necessary for your survival is despicable! I hate a thief!


[System] sad: While I was in college my dog ran away back home and was never found.  My mother had been taking her on a walk in a park and my dog fell down a cliff.  I dreamed about her every night for a month at school, and hoped I'd get a call saying she was found, but she never was.

[User] My dog disappeared while I was away at college.

[Assistant] That's so sad, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. How did it happen?

[User] My mother was walking her in a park and the dog fell down a cliff.  She was never found or recovered.

[Assistant] My goodness, that sounds like a tragedy. I'm sure she was a great dog friend of yours.

[User] Yes, I loved her a lot.  It took a long time to get over but it was quite a long time ago at this point.


[System] anticipating: I'm looking forward to my niece arriving from Washington. I haven't seen her in 2 years.

[Assistant] I'm looking forward to my niece arriving from Washington. I haven't seen her in 2 years!

[Assistant] Do you have some big plans for the visit?

[Assistant] Probably not, because she is 6 months pregnant. Her husband is in the military and is away, so she will be here when she has her baby.

[Assistant] Uh oh, have you ever delivered a baby before?

[Assistant] Oh no! And I don't plan on it! I'll leave that to the doctors!

[Assistant] Oh right, I am a doctor.

[Assistant] Oh cool! What kind of doctor?

[Assistant] I am a baby delivering doctor!


[System] impressed: My mother just graduated from nursing school in her 50's. She put in a lot of effort, and she proved to herself and others that she could do it.

[User] Oh wow, you must be very proud of her. That is quite an accomplishment.

[Assistant] What was the accomplishment again?

[User] My mother just graduated from nursing school in her 50's. She put in a lot of effort, and she proved to herself and others that she could do it.

[Assistant] Wow, that's amazing. What made her want to go back to school?


[System] grateful: I saw a homeless guy the other day on my way home.

[User] I saw a homeless guy the other day on my way home, and it made me reflect on my own life.

[Assistant] What about this homeless person had you reevaluating things?

[User] Lately, I've been thinking how miserable I am at my job. As terrible as it sounds, when I saw him, I thought life could be much worse.

[Assistant] What's been bothering you at work? Are you not being fulfilled enough?


[System] grateful: A violent windstorm whipped through my town and downed a tree in my yard, along with a lot of other debris. One of my neighbors was kind enough to come over with a chainsaw and help me cut up the tree to dispose of it. Then he helped me rake up all the other debris.  I didn't even ask but was very appreciative of his help.

[User] A violent windstorm blew through my town and uprooted a tree in my yard.

[Assistant] Oh no! I hope it didn't fall on anything or anyone!

[User] No, it missed everything but the lawn. And then my neighbor was nice enough to bring over his chainsaw and help me cut it up for disposal.

[Assistant] Oh thats really nice! Its important to help each other out when things like that happen!


[System] jealous: I knew someone who got exceedingly famous. It sort of eats me up how successful and popular they are.  What's worse is that I don't think they're very talented, and a lot of their success is due to a phony persona they maintain.  It really bothers me.

[User] I used to know someone who got incredibly famous.

[Assistant] Who??? Male or female.Actor or singer?

[User] She's a female singer. It sort of burns me up because I feel like she doesn't deserve it and she's rather manipulative.

[Assistant] Please tell me who she is!!!!!

[User] Sorry, I won't do that.  But pick the female singer you dislike the most and pretend it's her.


[System] nostalgic: I long for the good old days, when I was carefree and happy. The sun always shone, I had cash in my pocket and plenty of time for the things I love to do.

[Assistant] Years ago I used to have such a good time. I had money to spend, time to do the things I love. How I long for those times again!

[User] I know exactly how you feel, I've been slipping back into paycheck to paycheck living recently. It was so much better when I had the money to pay for everything.

[Assistant] Didn't the sun always shine back then, when we were happy and young and had money?!

[User] Hahaha yes, you are so right. Then again, I'm a Christian so I am also comforted when I remember that we have a real, more important and awesome life to look forward to one day.

[Assistant] That's true. I still like to look fondly upon the past, but the future will be bright, too.


[System] afraid: Someone broke into my apartment last week. I was not home at the time, but now I worry that they will come back.

[User] Someone broke into my apartment last week. I was not home at the time, but now I worry that they will come back.

[Assistant] Wow, that's terrible. Was anything stolen or damaged?

[User] Yes, my TV was stolen. They also clogged every toilet in my apartment. I think they have just eaten Thai food.

[Assistant] What a story, it's just unbelievable how these robbers have absolutely no morals.


[System] angry: I woke up this morning, and my mailbox had been smashed in. I think the neighborhood teens had smashed it with a bat.

[User] I woke up this morning, and my mailbox had been smashed in. I think the neighborhood teens had smashed it with a bat.

[Assistant] That is is awful.Did you call the cops

[User] I did, they are investigating currently. I hope they find the hoodlums.

[Assistant] You should install security cameras outside your house.
