[System] disappointed: I have been on my son to start taking a more active role everyday life stuff like mainting a sleep scedule.  After weeks of pushing the issue he still hasn't done so.

[Assistant] I have been trying to get my oldest son to be more responsible.  I started out small by asking him to adopt a good sleep schedule.  After several weeks he still hasn't.

[Assistant] Oh no. Is he responsible with school or a job?

[Assistant] He does well enough in school.  I think that might make him think he doesn't need any disciple in everyday life.  Make me worry a bit.

[Assistant] I understand, he will learn though once he gets a job and has to pay bills that he will want to go to sleep at a decent time!


[System] proud: I recently successfully planned a birthday party without my wife finding out. She usually finds out everything.

[Assistant] My wife usually sniffs out anything going on, but I was able to successfully plan a surprise party for her without her knowing.

[Assistant] Did you have a bunch of people show up there at the party?

[Assistant] Yes. Friends, family, cake, all of it. Even one friend from out of town she hasnt seen in years.

[Assistant] That's a great job! Well done!

[Assistant] Thank you. Probably wont be able to do it again, but happy it worked this time.


[System] grateful: I am so grateful for my wife

[Assistant] I am so grateful for my wife

[Assistant] Yeah, she seems like a great woman, you're lucky to have her.

[Assistant] She really is! I couldn't be where I am without her

[Assistant] You should take her on a vacation, or something. She deserves it.


[System] afraid: I have a huge phobia of roaches.  I can handle almost any kind of crawling or flying bug except them.

[Assistant] I can handle, bees, scorpions, wasps, crickets, and spiders.  But for some reason I lose my mind around roaches.

[Assistant] At least you can handle those. I can't do any of those

[Assistant] I take some conselation in that, however my kids laugh when they hear thier dad scream like a girl at a flying roach.

[Assistant] Well, they would probably be the same if they were in your shoes


[System] guilty: I feel guilty because I couldn't go to my friends party

[Assistant] I feel guilty because I couldn't go to my friends party

[Assistant] Understandable.  What was the reason?

[Assistant] I was working and I couldn't leave early

[Assistant] Did you explain it to them.  That's a pretty good reason to miss it.


[System] lonely: When I was younger my mom would always have to go on a week long training for work every year and I would always miss her so much.

[Assistant] As a momma's boy I always missed my mom anytime she was gone for an extended period of time.

[Assistant] Sure, that makes sense.

[Assistant] Fortunately, she rarely was gone for long periods of time, but I always dreaded this once a year work training she had to do.

[Assistant] How's your relationship now ?

[Assistant] Oh it's great.


[System] excited: I am so excited about going to the movies

[Assistant] I am so excited about going to the movies

[Assistant] Oh cool! What movie are you going to see?

[Assistant] I'm going to see the purge. I have been waiting to see it for a while

[Assistant] Oh awesome! It's a new one?


[System] caring: I saw a homeless lady

[User] I saw a homeless lady and i felt so bad for her because it was so hot outside so went to five guys and bought her some food and cold drinks

[User] that's extremely sweet of you! you're a nice person. my wife and i made some blessing bags and we give them everytime we see homeless people

[User] blessing bags?? what are those?

[User] basically it's a bag with necessities. we put some water, some non perishable foods, snacks, some wipes and a little bit of money

[User] wow that's a great idea! I will do the same! thanks for sharing


[System] sentimental: I spent a while the other day framing the Guest Puzzle we used at our wedding as a guest book.

[User] The other day I framed the puzzle we used as a guest book at our wedding.

[User] What a great idea, where did that come from?

[User] Etsy somewhere.  My wife bought it, so I don't really know which one, but you can find a bunch on there.

[User] Well I need to keep that in mind, great suggestion


[System] confident: I just drove from Northern California to Florida. I knew I could do it without a problem, and I was right. I'd done it before, in the opposite direction, so I knew I was capable of making such a trip.

[Assistant] Well, what a trip that was. I just drove from Northern California to Florida. I just knew there would be no problems, and I was right.

[Assistant] Oh wow, what a long trip. How long did it take?

[Assistant] Six days in all, but I wasn't rushing it. I wanted to see a bit of the country. It was amazing actually.

[Assistant] That is a long time to be in the car for sure.

[Assistant] It's not so bad really. You get used to it. If you remember to stop and stretch now and again you're ok. And there are some decent rest areas, some with free coffee!

[Assistant] Oh well that's a plu!

[Assistant] Oh yes. Anything to keep the eyes open and on the road!

[Assistant] So where did you stop along the way?


[System] hopeful: I have been making goals each week for earning money.  I'm hoping to save enough to start renovations on my house.

[Assistant] I have big renovation plans for my house.  I've made a money plan and have kept to it so far.

[Assistant] Well at least you have a plan. Are you planning to start the renovation soon?

[Assistant] Yes, hopefully it will all go as planned.  So far so good.

[Assistant] Awesome. I'm sure it's going to turn out great.


[System] anxious: I was so anxious for my kid to graduate

[Assistant] I was so anxious for my kid to graduate

[Assistant] I can understand that. Did it end up going ok?

[Assistant] It did. I'm very proud of him

[Assistant] That's good. I'm glad everything worked out.


[System] impressed: I didn't really try to lose weight but i did by drinking smoothie

[User] I didn't really try to use weight but i started going to the pool and i actually lost a couple of lbs

[User] that's good to hear! Good for you! Maybe i should go to the pool too lol

[User] it's really fun and it's also a great exercise! Plus water is so relaxing

[User] true! Do you just swim or you do some water aerobics?


[System] lonely: I hope when I get older, Im not lonely as I am now

[Assistant] I hope when I get older, Im not lonely as I am now

[Assistant] I'm sorry to hear that. Have you ever been married?

[Assistant] I was engaged but my woman left me

[Assistant] I'm so sorry. It wasn't meant to be.


[System] nostalgic: I recently heard In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins.  I reminded me of my childhood back in the 80's.

[Assistant] I recently heard In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins.

[User] That's such a good tune.

[Assistant] Yeah, for some reason it takes me back to being a kid in the 80's.  No specific memory just a general feeling.

[User] Yeah, it's definitely a classic. It reminds me of my childhood as well.


[System] guilty: I got upset at my oldest son because he shows such lack of motivation.  While gettting on him might have been warranted, I feel bad for getting upset.

[Assistant] I got upset at my oldest son's lack of motivation.  I feel bad that I got angry with him though.

[Assistant] Maybe you just have to find a way to get him motivated, without showing anger.

[Assistant] True.  I just haven't found a way to yet.  Need to be more creative.

[Assistant] Yeah, just stay positive about it, I'm sure you'll figure something out.


[System] afraid: My husband and I went to see a house a while back, called The Mansion. We went through the door and felt an icy blast like nothing I've experienced before. When I went upstairs I became terrified and ran down and out the door!

[Assistant] K and I went to see a house a while ago. I don't know what happened there, but when I went upstairs I became more and more nervous and eventually ran back downstairs and out the door. Scary or what.

[Assistant] Was it just a bad feeling you had?

[Assistant] It was as if something was telling me to get out. K had the same feeling in the basement. I've never had that happen before.

[Assistant] Maybe someone died there

[Assistant] Could be. It used to be a home for disabled people. We were both terrified, but we didn't say anything until we were back in our car.


[System] annoyed: I love streaming services. However, I'm annoyed by the lack of movies I want to watch without having to pay extra.

[Assistant] I love streaming services but sometimes they really frustrate me.

[Assistant] Oh yeah, the buffering?  Very annoying.

[Assistant] Every once in awhile I get the idea to search for a movie, and almost every time it's either not listed or requires an extra charge.

[Assistant] I hear that.  Sometimes the classics are impossible to find.


[System] proud: My eldest niece graduated High School recently. It's absolutely wonderful as she's worked so hard to do well and she totally deserves it. She helps take care of her disabled younger sister too, which is a lot for a teenager.

[Assistant] My eldest niece, who helps take care of her younger disabled sister, graduated high school with great grades recently. She works hard both at her studies and taking care of her sister - she deserves it.

[User] Did you get her something special?

[Assistant] Yes, I got her tickets for a show in London that she's been wanting to see. She lives in Scotland, so the journey isn't bad at all. She's taking a friend with her.

[User] Oh awesome, That is great!

[Assistant] I do hope she has a wonderful time. It's not easy living in a family with a disabled sibling and she just takes it all in her stride.


[System] apprehensive: There is a girl I like.  I want to ask her out.  If she says no I'm afraid it will ruin our friendship.

[Assistant] I want to ask this girl I'm friends with out but I'm nervous to to so.

[User] You wont know an answer if you dont ask

[Assistant] Problem is if she says no then it would make things weird between us.  I am afraid that either way I may not be able to see her again.

[User] Just play it safe


[System] disappointed: i went all the way to that whole foods store and they didn't have ground bison

[User] I really wanted to try bison meet and I went all the way to that whole foods store like 57 miles away and they didn't have it, what a waste of time

[User] That sucks, after going all that way too and you didn't even get to try it. I'm sorry.

[User] thank you! I hope i can find it somewhere locally. i've heard bison meat is very lean and good

[User] I hope you do get to try it soon. Be sure to let me know how it is!


[System] disgusted: My rottwieller passes a lot of gas  in the evenings.  It's so musky and it follows you wherever you go in the house.

[Assistant] My rottweiler passes a lot of gas in the evenings.

[Assistant] That's funny.

[Assistant] Not so much.  It is such a thick scent and it follows you everywhere you go in the house.  I usually put him out when he starts it up.

[Assistant] Wonder if it has to do with his diet?


[System] sad: I had a rough day, my husband has been out of town and the weather has been bad.

[Assistant] It's been a long week! My husband has been out of town and its been just me and a cranky toddler.

[Assistant] Will he be back soon?

[Assistant] I sure hope so! He's in the military so I never know when he'll get called on a mission :(

[Assistant] Okay, I see. That must be hard.


[System] embarrassed: I once walked around the grocery store with my fly down.  When I realized it I went to zip up and a lady with kids came round the corned at the same time.

[Assistant] I once walkd around the grocery store without knowing my fly was down.

[Assistant] I think we've all done a version of that.

[Assistant] I found an empty aile a went to zip up.  Just then a mom with kids comes around the corner.

[Assistant] ha, that's too funny.


[System] lonely: It has been a very quiet day in my house, I'm all alone. Hate watching movies by myself.

[Assistant] It's been a hard day today, its so quiet in my house. I hate when my husband is out of town.

[Assistant] That sounds tough :-(  does he get back soon?

[Assistant] In a few months, he is in the military so he is gone a lot :( But I know he is doing it for our family and our country!

[Assistant] You must be so proud of him!


[System] caring: My little niece was recently rushed to hospital and I was worried sick about her. I really love my nieces and nephew and hate when something bad happens to them.

[Assistant] My young niece, who is disabled, was recently rushed to hospital. She's ok now but we were very worried for a while there.

[Assistant] What was going on with her?

[Assistant] Chest infection which, for her, can prove fatal. She had to go on a special oxygen machine till the antibiotics kicked in.

[Assistant] That sounds pretty serious, glad she is okay now!

[Assistant] It was touch and go for a few days. My brother and family are such great carers. Wish I could be too, but they live in Scotland.


[System] furious: I was sitting eating dinner when all of the sudden my cat jumped on the kitchen table and knocked over my food! I was SO mad.

[Assistant] I have this cat that loves to cause issues

[User] What sort of issues?

[Assistant] Like last night. She decided that she wanted to jump on the table

[User] Cats are always getting into things and causing destruction.


[System] devastated: I have tried three different times to complete a work task.  Each time I have failed.

[Assistant] I have tried to complete a work assigment three times now without sucuess.

[User] Oh no, could you ask your supervisor for guidance?

[Assistant] Doubtful.  I will try again and then try a coworker if not sucuessfull.

[User] Sounds like you have a good plan. I wish you the best


[System] surprised: I couldn't go to movies and my husband bought me that movie

[User] I couldn't go to movies to watch The greatest showman when it came out so my husband bought this movie when it came out. he is sweet

[Assistant] That was very sweet. What movie did you want to watch?

[User] it's called The Greatest Showman. it's a musical! So good!! I watched it so many times already

[Assistant] Oh ok! The gift was a good idea so that you ca watch it as much as you want'


[System] annoyed: A few weeks ago a coworker called in sick. I had to work twice as long as I normally would.

[Assistant] A few weeks ago a coworker called in sick. I had to work twice as long as I normally would.

[Assistant] So you covered him. It was very noble from your side to act in this way

[Assistant] It was, but it didn't help my feelings towards that coworker.

[Assistant] Well, at least you did something good for that co-worker and most probably he feels indebted toward you

[Assistant] That is true, I just hope he was really sick. I hate it when I have to cover for people who are hungover.


[System] disappointed: My wife had been out of the country for a couple months, and I thought she was getting back a week earlier than she actually was.

[User] My wife has been out of the country for school for 2 months.  I misread the calendar and thought she was getting back a week earlier than she is.

[Assistant] So you have to wait a week longer to see her again? That stinks.

[User] Yeah.  It could be worse, but it definitely put a cloud over things for half an hour or so.

[Assistant] Yeah, I can imagine. At least it's only one week!


[System] grateful: After years of trying to get back on my feet.  My family and I are finally moving into a house we will own.

[Assistant] It's been awhile since I lost my last job.  After two years of working my family and I are finally moving into a home of our own.

[Assistant] Great to hear that.I hope you enjoy your new life.

[Assistant] After such a long time we certainly will.  I can't wait to start making the house into our home.

[Assistant] I am sure you will create a beautiful house.


[System] sad: Our pet will need to be put down soon.  She has suffered a long time with feline AIDS.

[Assistant] Our pet cat will need to be put down soon.

[Assistant] Oh I am so sorry to hear that. Have you had it since it was a kitten?

[Assistant] Yes we've had her since the begining.  She is older now and has suffered with feline AIDS for awhile.

[Assistant] That is so sad. I had a dog die unexpectedly and it tore me up.


[System] furious: it makes me really mad to see homeless people on the street, i think there should not be that many homeless people makes me really mad

[Assistant] It really makes me angry to see that many homeless people on the street

[Assistant] Yeah I understand.  Are there any charities nearby that you could volunteer for?

[Assistant] I personally dont have time to volunteer but every friday i always make a small donation to my local charity

[Assistant] Well that's good of you.  Do you think homelessness is due to mental incapacities?


[System] surprised: My husband decided to throw a surprise birthday party for me and it was so shocking to see him jump out at me with all his friends

[Assistant] My husband shocked me the other day

[Assistant] Why did he do that?

[Assistant] He threw me a surprise party and jumped out at me scaring me half to death!

[Assistant] Oh my, did you have a good time?


[System] faithful: I really believe in being with someone and only them forever. I know others see it differently, i just don't get why.

[User] I don't get why anyone would cheat on their other half.

[User] I don't understand that either. It really makes you sick to think about. Have you experienced this?

[User] No thankfully  I havent. I would never do it. Have you?

[User] No I have not. I would never participate in that either. My wife and I are extremely happy together.


[System] disappointed: I was planning to view the stars last night, but it was storming. It was supposed to be the brightest that Jupiter will be in a while.

[User] I was planning to view the stars last night, but it was storming. It was supposed to be the brightest that Jupiter will be in a while.

[User] It always seems to work out like that doesn't it?

[User] It does! I am hoping that tonight will be clear.

[User] I may have to check that out as well.


[System] jealous: I am slightly jealous of the time our new baby gets with my wife.  I understand the purpose and will deal with it but I also miss her too.

[Assistant] A new baby means a lot changes.  One of those is the amount of time my wife and I have together.

[User] Yes, but they also bring about a lot of good changes as well.

[Assistant] Agreed.  I know it's a necessary thing but I'm a little jealous of the time my wife spends with the baby.

[User] Yes, the first years of a baby's life, the mother pretty much spends entirely with them. The husband is kind of left out in the cold.


[System] caring: My mother is so sweet and giving. She is always there for her family, dedicated to us. She loves us more than anything!

[Assistant] My mom is so great! She is always there for me and her grandchildren. I can't think of anyone that loves us as much as she does!

[User] That is wonderful! Moms are truly a gift! I miss my Mom at times. We are workcamping in the mountains of NM and my Mom lives in TX.

[Assistant] I'm sure that's hard at times. I've always lived close to my mom so I can't really imagine being too far away.

[User] We have always moved frequently with my husbands job but my parents usually end up following us lol. Now that we are fulltime RVers, they dont follow. I miss that sometimes. I am glad you have your Mom close! Cherish those times!!


[System] lonely: Workcamping in the mountains of NM. It took an hour and half to get to the grocery store. There was really no one around to chat with either. It was very hard to be so far from everything and have no new faces.

[User] I am dreading the two hour trip to the grocery store this week.

[Assistant] Wow, yes, I always feel the same way! I would love to pass of grocery shopping to someone else.

[User] Me too!! Being so far out, it takes forever to get anywhere. I miss civilization lol.

[Assistant] I bet. I live about 20 minutes from a real town, which is far enough for me.

[User] We are workcamping in the mountains of NM. It takes about an hour and a half to two hours to get anywhere lol. We havent seen new faces around here in months lol.


[System] joyful: i really like going to disneyland, im planning a trip there for next summer vacation with my family

[User] I finished a class and most of my classmates got an A! It took a lot of work.

[User] That's great. Takes a lot of dedication to be that prepared.

[User] It sure does! I am so proud of the hard work that everyone put in!

[User] You should be, not everyone can really be that dedicated about something.


[System] joyful: I have the best kids in the world.  The draw me pictures, make me laugh, and give lots of hugs and kisses.

[Assistant] I have the best kids in the world.

[Assistant] Oh I am pampering the heck out of him! It got him a promotion!

[Assistant] Pamper him all the way up until you get some lavish vacation! loooool Im joking, partially! Happy for you guys tho!


[System] sad: I just got laid off from my job. I need the paycheck so this is not a good situation.

[User] I just got laid off from my job. I need the paycheck so this is not a good situation.

[Assistant] What will you try and do?

[User] I am going to apply for new positions. Hopefully I will get something soon.

[Assistant] What is your field of work?

[User] I work in I.T.! Thanks for asking!


[System] hopeful: I just applied for a new job! It is a job that I have always wanted.

[System] jealous: i dont like when my girlfriend goes out to the club alone, i get really jelous

[Assistant] i ahte when my Girlfriend goes to the club alone

[User] That would bother me as well. Have you discussed this with her?

[Assistant] Yeah it makes me really jelous when guys talk to her

[User] I can understand that. I actually broke up with a previous girlfriend over the same type of thing.


[System] surprised: I used to work as a hotel rep in Spain for a British travel company. One morning, I was greeting guests when, out of the corner of my eye I saw someone I recognized. I almost fell over - it was my cousin who had come over from Scotland without telling me. How lovely!

[Assistant] When I worked as a hotel rep. in Spain a few years ago I was greeting guests one morning. Suddenly I saw someone I knew - it was my cousin who decided to come and visit me. It was so unexpected!

[Assistant] Oh that must have been so exciting and surprising!

[Assistant] It really was. I had no idea he was coming to visit. I couldn't believe my eyes!

[Assistant] Did you all do some fun things while he was there?

[Assistant] We certainly did. Where I was working was a seaside resort and there are loads of clubs, restaurants etc. so we'd go to the beach and then party at night. Brilliant fun!


[System] disgusted: My keurig just died and its a 2 hour drive to town just to get another one. When there are 3 coffee drinkers in the house who drink coffee all day long, this is not good!!

[User] My Keurig just died. This is the third coffee pot in less than a year!

[Assistant] Well, that's a real tragedy.

[User] I agree! I am so disgusted right now!!! We drink a lot of coffee lol. Its a 2 hour drive to the closest town to get another one too.

[Assistant] Can you buy two next time and have one in reserve?

[User] We travel fill-time in our RV so I don't really have room to carry a back up. I hope our next location is more accessible to civilization.


[System] prepared: When I had to move for the first time I looked up all the moving tips in the world to figure out how to do it really well. It felt so great to be able to get everything moved and have not a single issue.

[Assistant] I just had to move across country to a new job.

[User] Wow, that must've been hard to uproot your whole life. Are you happy about the move?

[Assistant] I am actually! I was so ready for it. I basically studied moving so that everything would be easy

[User] That's awesome! I've been wanting to do the same actually. I hope you have a fabulous time in your new place and new job!


[System] angry: I was very upset one day when my daughter came off of the bus and was crying. A older boy intentionally tripped her when she was getting off the bus, and she got hurt!

[Assistant] One day my daughter got off the bus and was crying. An older boy intentionally tripped her as she got off the bus and she got hurt. This made me very upset and mad!

[Assistant] What was the boy kid's problem?

[Assistant] He just thought it would be funny! He was also several years older than her and a teenager. Too old to know better!

[Assistant] Maybe he has the crush on her?


[System] terrified: We were recently told that our 15 year old son has a degenerative neurological disease. The doctors tell us that there is no cure. I am really scared for his future.

[User] We recently found out that our 15 year old son has a rare, degenerative neurological disease.

[Assistant] Im so sorry to hear that. Is there treatment or a cure?

[User] No, the doctors tell us there is no cure. They are trying to treat the symptoms but thus far its been unsuccessful.

[Assistant] That sounds awful. How is he feeling?

[User] Thank you, its been scary. He has good days and bad.


[System] surprised: I could not believe it when the door bell rang and when I opened the door, my daughter and her family where standing there. I had not seen them for almost a year and they made a visit without telling me they were coming.

[Assistant] The door bell rang last month. I wasn't expecting anyone, but it was my daughter and her family from way up north.

[Assistant] Sounds like a nice surprise! my god how beautiful.

[Assistant] I couldn't believe it. It had been almost a year since I saw them and she never even gave me a hint they were coming.

[Assistant] I was so happy when I saw him get down on one knee that I just blacked out lmao

[Assistant] Oh no, what are you going to do?

[Assistant] I almost panicked as the winds started to gust, but thankfully it missed us. A few miles up the road weren't so lucky though. Always listen to those warnings

[User] I could tell by the color of the paint left on my car, and their car now has a scrape with the color of my car. I don't know what to do.

[User] Oh boy.  I would confront them kindly and tell them you'd like to reach a solution without there being a fight or problem.  Those situations are never fun. Sorry.

[System] caring: I have an older friend who lost her husband a couple of years back and I help her to move on in life

[User] I have an older friend who I try to help out.  She lost her husband a couple years ago.

[Assistant] Thats very admirable of you.  How do you help her?

[User] We go out to lunch regularly.  She is depressed and I try and get her out of the house to do things.

[Assistant] We need more people like you in the world.  Theres always someone out there who needs a helping hand and could use a friend.

[User] Thanks.  Yes she had some mental issues around the time he died but is doing better now.


[System] terrified: I think it's scary what is happening in the US. I don't care who is in charge, I think we need to come together from all sides and save our country.

[User] We need to come together as a country and be united and solve our issues, no matter your views.

[Assistant] I totally agree. People are too divided by their political views these days.

[User] Exactly, let's comprimise and decide on things before it's to late!

[Assistant] Everyone is always fighting over these things, it's a sad thing to see.


[System] lonely: I spent a Christmas working in a computer lab on a school project.  My family were thousands of miles away celebrating together, but I had to work on my project by myself.  It wasn't at all festive and I felt isolated.

[User] I spent my first Christmas away from home in a computer lab, working by myself.

[Assistant] Oh! pity about you.

[User] Yes, it wasn't very fun.  But I had to do it because my project for work was due the next day.

[Assistant] Hope you had good time after your work!


[System] sentimental: I miss my dog who died last year

[User] I miss my dog Kat

[User] I am so sorry to hear that.

[User] Yes she was a wonderful black lab who died last year.  She was a great dog

[User] I hope you find a new puppy love soon.

[User] Thanks.  I do miss coming home to her.  My cat is just not the same.


[System] impressed: I think it's great how well my husband is doing in his new manager job. He's become the top assistant in his market in just 2 years.

[User] It's great to see my husband doing so well.

[User] I am glad to hear that!  What is happening with him?

[User] He's become the top manager in his division in just two years.

[User] That is awesome!  I hope he got a good raise


[System] furious: I feel very upset about the treatment that some people can have with their pets, this is not good,

[User] Hello, I am very upset about the abuse of some people with their pets ... it is unacceptable

[User] I can't imagine why people would do that. Animals are helpless.

[User] I feel that pain ... as if I had been hit

[User] You're very empathetic then! I hate seeing animals suffer as well.

[User] it's something since I was born ... I'm like that


[System] terrified: I went on a hike in the mountains of LA by myself at night.

[Assistant] That reminds me of the time I went to LA for vacation with my family. I wanted to meet people so I went hiking in the mountains but it soon became dark.

[User] Hiking is probably a tough environment to meet people! LA is real nice, but I hear the people there aren't/

[Assistant] Yea it probably wasn't the smartest decision but at the end I meat a nice group. They eventually helped me from that situation also.

[User] That's cool! Did you end up keeping up with them after you left?


[System] sentimental: Seeing a statue we made for a recently passed away pet made me really sad. It was such a fitting tribute to her life and the love we had for her.

[User] I really miss my puppy, we got her a statue for the backyard to remember her always.

[Assistant] Thats sweet to have such a memory of her. Did she pass away then?

[User] Yes, she was very old. It was a great tribute to her life.

[Assistant] Im so sorry, pets are like children


[System] caring: My son is teething i gave him motrin

[User] my son is teething and he is so cranky! I gave him tylenol and got some teething toys. I don

[User] Teething is a hard period for babies and moms

[User] it is! his molars are coming so he is inconsolable! Doesn't sleep good, doesn't want to eat. poor little boy

[User] Poor baby. I remember my kids teething too. It was horrible


[System] disappointed: I was trying to sleep train my son but i failed

[User] i was trying to sleep train my son but i failed. i didn't it's gonna be that hard. I think we will be co sleeping till he goes to college

[User] Ha ha, I'm sure he'll get the the hang of it eventually. It takes some children longer than others to get used to.

[User] I hope so, i miss sleeping in a comfortable position without baby feet in my face

[User] I'm not looking forward to it when I have a kid! I can't function without a good 8 hours of sleep.


[System] jealous: I have seen some pictures of friends of mine traveling around Italy

[User] I have been seeing pictures of friends of mine traveling around Italy.

[Assistant] How does that make you feel ?

[User] I wish I were with them.  I love Italy

[Assistant] I've never left the US. I've never been north of Kentucky.

[User] Oh wow!  You are missing out.  I love traveling and seeing the world.

[Assistant] I've spent my life turning my home into where I want to be, instead of where I want to leave.

[User] That is true but there is something to be said about seeing other cultures


[System] grateful: My friend bought me lunch

[User] My friend bought me lunch today

[Assistant] That was nice. What did you have?

[User] I had a nice burger and fries

[Assistant] That sounds good. I bet it was fun to hangout and eat with your friend.

[User] Yes I was appreciative that she wanted to buy me lunch


[System] furious: I got cut off in traffic the other day. There was noone behind me for a long way but no, they had to go right in front of me. Had to slam my breaks

[User] I hate when people pull in front of you, especially when it's clear behidn you.

[User] It is very annoying! I hate it too

[User] Had to slam my brakes. I don't get people at all.

[User] Some people should not be allowed to drive! We were rear ended 2 times last months! Can you believe that

[User] yes, sadly I easily can.


[System] afraid: I'm afraid of the dark

[User] I know i'm an adult but I'm very scared of the dark. i have a good imagination so i always see something creepy

[User] That;s ok, everyone has some kinda fears that make little sense to others.

[User] That's why i can't sleep alone or if i'm alone i always keep the light on

[User] Hey, I can't sleep without socks. It's no big deal.


[System] caring: I like to help at the animal shelter walking the dogs. They get a chance to get out of their cages and be with a nice human like me.

[User] I like to help at the animal shelter walking the dogs. They get a chance to get out of their cages and be with a nice human like me.

[Assistant] That is really nice of you! I am sure they appreciate it

[User] They do. They get to smell the grass, they play they get their exercise, they get to have fun, they get to be a dog!

[Assistant] They get to enjoy themselves and have a good time! :)


[System] afraid: The power got cut randomly at our house in the middle of the night. No storms near by or anything. I was really worried something had happened!

[Assistant] Last night at like midnight the power cut out completely on my street

[User] Oh no, did you have candles and flashlights available?

[Assistant] We luckily had candles around! I was so worried cause it was so fast it was like someone cut our power

[User] Good thing, you have to be prepared for those situations


[System] furious: When my cat broke my mothers urn I was so mad for the longest time. It hurt so much and mad me so mad

[Assistant] A while back my cat knocked over and broke my mothers urn.

[Assistant] Oh I am so sorry. Cats can be very mischievous sometimes.

[Assistant] I was so mad for the longest time but I've gotten around to not being so made about it

[Assistant] Yea I feel you. At the end of the day you cant blame the cat. It didnt do this on purpose.


[System] disgusted: I made me a bowl of cereal today and when i started eating i realized milk was spoiled

[User] I made a bowl of cereal for breakfast and when i started eating i realized milk was spoiled!! I started gagging. it was so gross!

[Assistant] Man I'm sorry to hear that...I've wasted a good protein shake doing that once

[User] don't you hate that? gosh, i didn't eat anything the whole day because i don't have an appetite anymore

[Assistant] Oh well I was starving...I just rinsed it out with some mouthwash and ordered a big pizza lol


[System] content: I sat in my kitchen the other night and just listened to the rain hit the window for an hour. I felt so happy and whole.

[Assistant] I was so calm and happy the other night just listening to rain hitting the kitchen windows

[User] I use to live in an older house that had a tin roof, and I'd always love hearing the rain beat on it! Helped me sleep like a baby,.

[Assistant] It was the single most calming thing! I love the sound of rain on a tin roof too!

[User] I wonder if that's a common thing? It's very relaxing.


[System] anxious: I got in a car accident and now i have anxiety attacks every time i drive

[User] i got in a car accident 2 months ago and now i get so anxious every time i need to drive somewhere

[User] I'm sorry for that. Have you tried going to therapy?

[User] not yet. i'm so broke i can't even afford it. I had to buy a new car and my premiums went up

[User] I'm so sorry but you'll get there in time.


[System] excited: One time when I was playing video poker, I put $10 in the machine. On my first deal, I hit the jackpot! When all was said and done, I cashed out $1000!

[Assistant] Though the odds are against you, I understand why people gamble. I remember a particular time I was playing video poker at a local dive bar.

[Assistant] I've never gambled. What happened when you were playing video poker? And is it fun?

[Assistant] Well, take this with a grain of salt, but it CAN be a blast. I put in $5 like I usually do, and on the first deal, I hit $1000. I went nuts, cashing out immediately and started shoving $20 bills in to everyone's hands and pockets!

[Assistant] Wow, check out Mr. Moneybags over here! That must have been a real thrill though.


[System] surprised: I was buying some beer and smokes with a couple of old friends of mine. They were in from out of town and we had been partying in an abandoned lot with a bunch of my in town friends. On our way back from the gas station, we heard some noise, and went through a hole in the fence to find a full blown speakeasy!

[Assistant] I honestly think New Orleans is one of the most exciting places to live in the US. You never know what you are going to find around the corner.

[Assistant] Yes, it does seem like a fun place. I would love to go to the Mardi Gras.

[Assistant] Mardi Gras is great, but stuff happens every day. One time I was showing some friends around from out of town, and we heard some voices on the other side of a fence. We ducked through a hole, and found a bar with a full band playing - complete with couples swing dancing!

[Assistant] That sounds like a lot of fun! I wish I would have seen it!


[System] furious: I loaned out a bike to someone who needed it to get to work. I found out later that he had stopped going to work all together, and pawned the bike for drug money.

[Assistant] I hate when you go out on a limb for someone and they turn around and burn you for it. You know what I mean?

[Assistant] I'd say that'd be a real disappointment to say the least.

[Assistant] You can say that again. One time, I loaned a friend a bike to get to work and back. A couple weeks later I heard he stopped going to work and had pawned the bike for drug money.

[Assistant] End of friendship.


[System] ashamed: i have been going for my friends wedding there was a small problem occoured

[User] 1

[Assistant] I am not quite sure what you mean by that?

[User] sorry that was sent by an mistake

[Assistant] That's OK, It happens to the best of us!


[System] disgusted: My girlfriend and I stayed the night out at her friends farm/homestead in Virginia. It smelled like manure everywhere, and they had no toilet in the house. On top of that, the whole house was covered in mold.

[Assistant] I don't think I am a judgmental person, but we all have our limits. I stayed on my girlfriend's friend's homestead for a day, and I can still smell it.

[User] oh that little unfair

[Assistant] Trust me, this place was out of control. They had the pig pen and the chicken coup within a stones throw of the main house. To top it off, they had running clean water, but no toilet indoors!

[User] oh enjoy dude


[System] confident: I just finished working on a presentation I'm supposed to give tomorrow.

[User] I just finished working on a presentation that I'm supposed to give tomorrow.

[Assistant] Congrats! How do you feel about it? And what is the presentation on?

[User] I feel pretty good about it.  I've spent the last two weeks crunching numbers about our holiday projections.

[Assistant] It's good that you worked hard on it. I hope you get a raise or a bonus for your labor!

[User] I'll find out at Christmas.  Considering all the numbers I looked at, the possibility looks good!


[System] annoyed: I was headed to a rave with a small group of friends. When we reached our last destination before the party, one of the people who was supposed to go called and told us she would be there shortly. We ended up waiting several hours only for her not to show up.

[Assistant] Sometimes you know your friends better than even their long term roommates know them. Have you ever been in that situation?

[User] I think so.  Sometimes our friends show us sides of them that they rarely show other people.

[Assistant] That's definitely true! I am thinking of one person in particular to be honest. We waited all night at her house for her to join us so we could make this party. She never showed!

[User] Did you make the party anyway?


[System] surprised: My mother gave me something very unexpected and appreciated. She paid a loan with a high monthly payment and interest! So unexpected and great!

[Assistant] Not too long ago, my mother unexpectedly paid off a high monthly payment and interest loan! I couldn't believe it!

[User] Wow. That is a blessing

[Assistant] Yes, I didn't have a clue she was going to do it and it was very much appreciated it.She's always so great thought, I am blessed.

[User] I am going to always take care of my kids like that


[System] grateful: I was wanting to do the dishes the other day but couldn't so my husband did them all for me! I felt so thankful

[Assistant] I broke a finger the other day and couldn't do any dishes! It was terrible

[User] I hate doing dishes any way

[Assistant] I was super lucky though because my husband just went up and did them all for me!

[User] That's sweet


[System] proud: I managed to get all my school shopping done so the kids are ready for school next week!

[User] So I managed to get all my school shopping done this week so the kids have all their things ready to go for tomorrow!

[User] Cool I just finished today

[User] I got an early start this year.  Most years I start late and they're out of stuff I need by the time I get around to it.

[User] Yeah we had a hard time today lol

[User] And then the stores get so crowded after a certain point!

[User] I am going to do like you next year for sure!

[User] I think next year I'm going to start early but just do everything online.  All the stores in town were absolute messes today!


[System] devastated: I know it's not much but I was so upset the other day when I dropped my last cookie on the floor. It just was bad on a bad day.

[Assistant] I was having a bad day the other day and everything just kept going wrong

[User] That happens sometimes

[Assistant] The worst part of the day though was when I dropped my last cookie I was really looking forward to

[User] I probably wouldve cried


[System] prepared: I battled the crowds at the huge store in town and I won!  The kids are ready for school tomorrow!

[User] I fought off hordes of people shopping for school stuff all at the same time and I won!  I got everything on their lists!

[User] Was it like black friday? lol

[User] YES.  *chuckle!*  School starts tomorrow here and it was absolutely insane.  The worst part was, usually I go to the store regularly before 10A because there's less people in there and I can just kinda stroll through the aisles.  Oh no, not today.  It was just about elbow to elbow!

[User] Stick to your routine next time

[User] I have to grocery shop on Thursday and hopefully the furor will have died down.  But I was in the checkout line and I swore that next year, I'm ordering stuff online and having it all shipped and just keeping my happy self at home!

[User] I hear ya! I am definitely shopping online

[User] Especially since I was just browsing and a lot of online places have deals better than the ones in store!

[User] plus you can usually get some kind of cash back. I love deals


[System] surprised: I went to go grab a cup out of the cabinet the other day and there was a spider sitting in the middle of the glass!

[Assistant] The other day I was getting a glass out the cabinet and There sat a spider

[Assistant] Ew, I hate spiders. We are in the process of getting them out of our garage.

[Assistant] I hate the little things too! It was IN the glass at that!

[Assistant] Oh no, throw it away!!!!


[System] apprehensive: I attended a play which advertised heavy audience interaction. There was someone modeling nude we were encouraged to touch, but I drew the line at eating mystery candy from an opaque box.

[Assistant] It's not that I am adverse to avant garde theater, but this "play" I went to recently was a little too much.

[Assistant] How was it too much?

[Assistant] Well, to their credit, they had advertised it as being quite interactive. A little contact is OK, but they wanted me to eat "mystery candy" from a box while blindfolded!

[Assistant] That sounds very strange


[System] anticipating: My husband usually gets a large bonus this month or September. It's not a guarantee, so it's not easy waiting to find out!

[Assistant] Around this time of the year, my husband usually always gets a large bonus, but it's not a promise. It's not easy waiting to see if he will!

[User] How big is the bonus usually?

[Assistant] It all depends, but always has been thousands. So, the waiting drives us nuts!

[User] Wow, well I hope you guys get it this year then!


[System] trusting: I had only about $400 to my name, and my friend asked me to invest it all in to posters to sell at a music festival. I gave him every last dime, and we cleared $2000 a piece.

[Assistant] When my friend told me to give him my last $400, I thought he was crazy. But in the end, I am glad I did.

[User] Why did you do that?

[Assistant] He has these crackpot schemes but they always work out. We turned that $400 in to $2000 a piece selling posters at a music festival!

[User] Wow, good for you guys!


[System] embarrassed: In highschool, I drank too much and fell asleep at a party. I passed out in front of the door and everybody coming and going had to step over me.

[Assistant] Not all of my high-school memories are fond ones. Like the time I drank too much and passed out at a party.

[User] How old were you?

[Assistant] I was about 16 at the time. The thing is, I passed out right in front of the entrance to the house. Everyone coming and going had to step over me!

[User] That is young, I wish someone had helped you!


[System] grateful: Everyone in my Calc class was stressed out over an exam. A few days before the test, a class mate announced she had made a study guide and would be glad to e-mail anyone a copy. It was because of her that I got a B.

[Assistant] I don't know how you are with Calc, but I can get pretty anxious before an exam.

[Assistant] Math has never been my strong suit. I'm more of a history type of person.

[Assistant] Me neither! That's why I was amazed when this girl said she had made a study guide and would e-mail us all a copy. I ended up with a B!

[Assistant] That was very altruistic of her!


[System] annoyed: My cat last night wouldn't stop trying to get me to play with her. She kept jumping in the bed and meowing!

[Assistant] My cat kept doing her best to wake me up last night

[Assistant] Why she is doing that?

[Assistant] She was trying to wake me up to get me to play with her!

[Assistant] Ah ok I undestand.


[System] excited: I had just turned 27 when I was accepted to a state university. I was admitted to the engineering college and started the following spring.

[Assistant] I never thought I would be where I am today. If you would have told me I would go back to school at 27, I would have thought you were crazy.

[User] why did you go back?

[Assistant] I had always wanted to be an electrical engineer, but had settled for life in the service industry (not knocking it). I re-taught myself basic algebra, and was accepted to a state university two years ago!

[User] good for you, best of luck!!


[System] devastated: it was really hard for me when i heard i dint get accepted in my dream college, but i moved on and got into another one that was not as good

[Assistant] i was so stressed when i found out that i did not get accepted in my dream college

[Assistant] Oh no. Did you have a good backup plan ?

[Assistant] yeah i got into another college that was not as good haha

[Assistant] Maybe you can transfer after a bit ?


[System] jealous: My boyfriend has a female friend who he sometimes chooses to hang out with over me. We had a date planned last week, but he cancelled it to go to the movies with her. It's so frustrating.

[User] My boyfriend cancelled our date last week to go to the movies with his female best friend...

[Assistant] How did that make you feel?

[User] Annoyed. I feel like he chooses her over me a lot. I hate feeling like I have to compete with her.

[Assistant] I understand! I would feel the same way.


[System] impressed: im am really impressed on the video game growth this year, video games have come a long way since they came out

[Assistant] i cant believe the growth video games are having this past couple of years

[User] What do you mean by that? I'm not a gamer really

[Assistant] gaming has blown up this past couple of years

[User] Oh you're right, it has. I hear about it more and more


[System] anticipating: Roller coasters are my favorite things in the world. Every winter, I miss them so much. By the time February rolls around, all I can think about is going back to the parks and riding all of them!

[User] I love roller coasters, but I hate that my favorite amusement parks close during the winter.

[User] I hate that most parks close during the winter too. Do you have any indoor type amusement parks near you?

[User] Not that I'm aware of. :( When February rolls around, all I can think about is how much I miss them and how I can't wait to go back.

[User] I feel you. You will just have to go as often as possible during the other months to make up for the winter time without!


[System] hopeful: Going to graduate college soon with a good degree. Should be able to get a well-paying career!

[User] I'm excited to graduate college and start my career soon! I have a feeling that my life will get much better once I do.

[User] Ooh, congratulations! I'll be graduating soon too. What's your major?

[User] I'm an Engineering major, electrical engineering specifically. And yourself?

[User] That's very cool. My dad's an electrical engineer, actually. I'm a cybersecurity major myself.


[System] grateful: i feel very thankful for everything that i have, i live a really good life in my liking

[Assistant] i really am thankful for everything that i have and had

[User] What is your most prized posession?

[Assistant] it is actually a little medal my dad gave me when i was little

[User] Why is that?

[Assistant] he gave it to me beafore he went to the army, and when he came back i showed it to him and it was really emotional


[System] impressed: My brother has gotten really good at bowling. He spins it like crazy!

[User] My little brother has gotten really good at bowling recently and it kind of floors me!

[Assistant] Oh wow, maybe he can get a scholarship! I know some colleges now offer bowling athletic programs.

[User] Perhaps! He's joining the high school bowling team so that may help his chances as well. Do you like to bowl yourself?

[Assistant] You must be very proud of him! Yes, I love to bowl with my family but I'm not very good at it!


[System] afraid: It is so dark in my house. I keep hearing creepy noises.

[Assistant] I keep hearing strange noises in my house. My husband is out of town and I'm all alone. There has been reports of break ins on my street.

[User] That is scary. Do you have means of defending yourself?\

[Assistant] No I don't, I do have two dogs! They keep growling at the noises to!

[User] Maybe you can call a neighbor or something to see if they see anything suspicious outside your house! Don't hesitate to call the police if you feel you should!


[System] embarrassed: I tried to spin my ball while bowling and ended up just throwing it. My face was so red!

[User] So I suck hard at bowling, but tonight I tried to be pro and putting spin on the ball. I ended up just throwing it down the lane instead.

[Assistant] Ha ha! I have done that, too. So embarrassing.

[User] Yeah, my face was bright red when the ball almost went into the other lane! Thankfully there was somebody that sucked even worse than me in my party.

[Assistant] Phew, so they got most of the attention.


[System] ashamed: My friend's boyfriend had made sexual advances towards me, which I turned him away. But, I felt very bad for not telling my friend.

[Assistant] I have a very good friend and her boyfriend made sexual advances towards me. I never did tell my friend, for various reasons, but I feel really guilty and bad about it@!

[User] It can be hard in those situation I know you don't want to loose a friend in the end.

[Assistant] Yes, and there were financial and personal reasons of her own that is why I didn't tell her. Plus, I really hated to hurt her, but I guess I should have told her.

[User] Yes you should but when you feel comfortable don't feel guilty you are the victim he is a sad case you got this.


[System] lonely: All of my friends have moved away, when I still live and work in the place where I grew up. Many local people my age do drugs and stay out all night, so I just stay in and keep to myself.

[User] I still live and work in the place where I grew up, but all of my friends have moved away.

[User] Aw, that has to be tough not to see your friends. Do they visit often?

[User] No, everyone's so busy with their lives and work that it's hard to arrange. Most of the people here my age do drugs or stay out all night, so I keep to myself at home, alone.

[User] How awful! You're much better off staying at home. I hope you find new friends soon!


[System] afraid: School is starting up soon and I'm worried I may not be able to keep up with all of the homework.

[User] So college is starting up soon and I'm worried I won't be able to deal with the workload again.

[Assistant] School can be tough. How many credits are you taking on?

[User] I wanna say 14 credit hours for engineering classes. I have a part time job too I work 20 hours a week at.

[Assistant] Engineering is already tough. If you can get through this, I'd say you'll be very successful in life.


[System] confident: I feel ready to take on this school year and pass with flying colors!

[User] So college is starting up soon and I feel more ready than ever to do well this year!

[User] oh you're gonna be awesome i bet!

[User] Thanks, I'm going to try! Last semester wasn't bad but I procrastinated more than I should have.

[User] yeah that always happens, don't be hard on yourself as long you do great


[System] content: I just had an amazing dinner and now am relaxing in my room. I feel very rested and at peace.

[User] So I just had an amazing dinner and am now relaxing in my room. I feel very at ease.

[Assistant] Nice. What was dinner?

[User] Surprisingly enough, a pizza from the bowling alley. I never said that I was picky!

[Assistant] I haven't met a pizza I didn't like yet.


[System] sad: My son is in so much pain

[User] my son is teething really bad and he is so inconsolable that breaks my heart. i can't wait till these molars cut thru

[Assistant] I remember my kids going through that. Do you have teething rings for him?

[User] I do but he doesn't like them. he can barely eat his mouth hurts so bad

[Assistant] Poor boy. I hope he gets through it soon.


[System] anticipating: I am looking forward to Monday. I know it's silly but a game I really enjoy is coming out that day.

[User] I think I will be very busy Monday night playing my new game.

[User] What is the game about you must love games it will take up your whole night.

[User] World of warcraft. I'v got a deeper reason then it being a game- it's how i meet my husband.

[User] Really that is a cool story to tell when asked how you 2 met did ya'll play online together a lot?


[System] annoyed: I come home from work and my parents are always arguing. It frustrates me.

[User] I come home from work and my parents always seem to be arguing. It's very frustrating.

[User] Oh that's not good. Do they argue about small things?

[User] Yes they do. They act like children and I am essentially the most mature/responsible one in the house.

[User] Yikes, that shouldn't be. I think you've really stepped up in this situation. Hopefully they can see that and change their ways.


[System] terrified: Last night there was a really bad storm and it scared me. THe power went out several times and it scary how close the lightning seemed to be.

[User] I think storms are wonderful, except when the power goes out.

[User] I love storms too but yeah, that's a nuisance.

[User] It was extra loud and my husband was at work, bit scary.

[User] Yikes! Lightning didn't strike real close by, did it?

[User] O it sure seemed like it did, dogs were scared too.


[System] hopeful: I have a feeling that I'll be doing much better with college homework this semester!

[User] College is starting soon and I'm feeling like I'll be able to stay on top of homework this semester!

[Assistant] That is good. Will it be a difficult semester?

[User] It probably will be, as I'm studying engineering. I feel confident that I won't procrastinate as much this time though!

[Assistant] That is good. I am sometime a procrastinator.


[System] nostalgic: I heard a music artist recently that brought me back to my childhood.

[User] I recently heard a music artist for the first time in a long time that brought me back to my childhood.

[User] Awww, what fun.  That must have been so nostalgic for you!  I wish I was back in childhood again sometimes.

[User] It sure was! I enjoy reliving the memories, things were often simpler and more carefree back then.

[User] I saw a toy that they are bringing back from a couple decades ago when I was a kid and wow, it was so neat to see!


[System] surprised: My brother is getting really good at bowling. I am shocked at his skill.

[User] So I consider myself a decent bowler but my brother came out of nowhere, he's actually really skilled. I'm kind of shocked actually.

[Assistant] Wow. Sibling's got skills.

[User] For sure. I am here doing the traditional bowling style and he is spinning the ball across the lane getting strikes often. He makes me look bad!

[Assistant] How long has he been bowling?


[System] apprehensive: I am nervous about starting my new job. I want to do well, but it's so different.

[User] I am so nervous to start my new job tommorrow.

[Assistant] I am sorry to hear that, I am sure you will be fine. What kind of job is it?

[User] it's a desk job. Its my first time in a place like this.

[Assistant] Well, it shouldn't be too bad. If you couldn't do the work I'm sure they wouldn't have hired you.


[System] guilty: I had a customer sign the wrong form today, I feel bad because I'll have to ask them to sign something again.

[User] So I had a customer sign the wrong form today. I feel kind of bad because I'll have to have them sign the right thing next time and I'll look incompetent.

[Assistant] That's a bummer. At least you will be more attentive next time?

[User] For sure, that is a silver lining. Mistakes happen I suppose, can't expect to be perfect!

[Assistant] Indeed. If everyone got worked up over things like that, we'd all be out of jobs.


[System] lonely: I went on a road trip to Utah a few months ago by myself and missed my friends

[User] So I went on a road trip to Utah a few months ago after my friends backed out. It was awesome but I did miss them.

[Assistant] That sounds incredible. Did you visit the Great Salt Lake?

[User] No I didn't get around to that area! I did visit Arches and Canyonlands national parks though. Even though I was by myself, would do again!

[Assistant] Man, I definitely have to go there. Sounds like a great place for sightseeing.


[System] jealous: My brother got my dream vehicle as his first car

[User] So my brother got my dream vehicle as his first car. I am feeling a certain way about this!

[Assistant] Oh my god, Do you think he got it just because you like it so much?

[User] I don't think so actually, I haven't let him know that I love that type in particular so much haha. I am definitely wishing it was mine though!

[Assistant] That is hilarious, In a cruel kind of way.


[System] apprehensive: I want to buy a new vehicle but am worried to take the plunge.

[User] So I want to buy a new vehicle but I'm nervous about pulling the trigger on it.

[Assistant] Ohh, I feel you. I felt the same way, when I was planning to buy a new car.

[User] Yep. Like, my current car is dying, but I almost literally want to drive it until it no longer runs at all.

[Assistant] Yeah. I believe you are emotionally attached to it!


[System] angry: People who  steal make me crazy. I watched some people come into my driveway and try to take my spare gas can!

[User] PEople are crazy now a days. I watched people try to take a gas can from my yard!

[User] Wow why would they even do that?

[User] It was during a power outage during a hurricane,  still made me mad.

[User] Sheesh, people will take anything that's not nailed down these days.


[System] annoyed: My car wouldn't start today after work. I had to get a jump start!

[User] So my car wouldn't start today after work. I kind of hate my car!

[Assistant] That's terrible to hear. Is it old?

[User] Oh yes, very old. It's a 2002 and while I've had it for 6 years now, I'm finally starting to grow tired of it.

[Assistant] Are you thinking of getting a new car?


[System] anxious: Whenever I have to give a presentation, I get so nervous. Mentally, I don't really care, but my legs shake, my heart pounds, and I speak too quickly. Being the center of attention makes me feel that way

[User] I hate giving big presentations and being the center of attention.

[Assistant] Me too. Its nerve wrecking

[User] I know! Like, mentally, I don't care, but my body just responds by making my legs shake, my heart pound, and speaking too quickly.

[Assistant] Maybe you should take some classes to help you with that


[System] disgusted: I was dogsitting for my dad. I had to clean up dog poop around 10 times while I was there!

[User] I had to dogsit for my dad about a week ago. I had to clean up dog poop at least 10 times, it was awful.

[Assistant] Ohh, cleaning dog poop is always been annoying, yet petting the dog is always amusing.

[User] Oh yes. I wish I could say petting the dogs counteracted having to clean up after them, but I would be lying.

[Assistant] Ha ha. I feel sorry for you though. No one likes to clean the dog poop!


[System] embarrassed: I was listening to old school rap in my car. The windows were down, and the car next to me started making fun of me.

[User] So I was listening to rap in my car with the windows down. The people in the car next to me were just staring at me. It was kinda awkward.

[Assistant] That has happened to me several times

[User] Yeah, not gonna lie my face turned a bit red and I rolled the windows up slightly. Thankfully they are very tinted so they probably didn't notice my shame.

[Assistant] Lol. They probably just laughed about it over dinner
