[System] annoyed: I am so annoyed that France is in the world cup final.

[Assistant] I am so annoyed that France is in the world cup final. I do not like their style of play

[Assistant] What is it about their style of play that you're not a fan of?

[Assistant] They are to defensive.Their games are so boring.

[Assistant] I see where you're coming from.


[System] confident: I am so surprised Roger Federer lost his match on Wimbledon

[Assistant] I am so surprised Roger Federer lost yesterday at Wimbledon. he is the GOAT of tennis.

[Assistant] I'm not too familiar with Tennis, Is he known to be a winner?

[Assistant] He is the best player ever.He won the mos grand slams titles.

[Assistant] Wow that's neat! Crazy to hear he lost then as you said.


[System] anticipating: Shortly after I got married, my wife and I decided that we wanted to have kids. When we found out she was pregnant, we couldn't wait to find out if we were having a boy or a girl.

[Assistant] When my wife and I got married, we knew we wanted to have kids.  When we found out that we were expecting, the only thing on our mind for the longest time was if we were having a boy or a girl.

[User] What exciting news! Did you find out ahead of time what the gender of the baby was?

[Assistant] We did! We were living in Japan at the time, and we were paying this clinic 2000 yen a week so we could keep getting ultrasounds of the baby.

[User] What is 2000 yen equal to in U.S. currency?

[Assistant] At the time, the exchange rate was about 110 yen to the dollar, so it was pretty affordable, and worth it to keep going back.

[User] It sure sounds like it. I think healthcare in Japan is much more affordable that here in America, do you agree?

[Assistant] I wouldn't be able to tell you, since I wasn't under their healthcare system.  This was just a women's clinic that offered this service pretty cheaply.

[User] Oh, okay, well I watched a documentary about healthcare in other countries. I understand that doesn't apply here.

[User] She offered to help me out financially with something that was really stressing me out.

[Assistant] I know that feeling! What's been getting to you?

[System] lonely: When I was working for my last company, I used to travel a lot and frequently used to miss my family and friends

[Assistant] Yeah, it's mainly for client site assignments that I have to travel !

[Assistant] Where do you go the most?

[Assistant] It's always interesting to travel to Europe or the Western countries because you have a lot more to do! However quite often I have been travelling to Africa as well.

[Assistant] That is nice! I wish I can go to those countries

[Assistant] Last night, I had ths crazy realistic dream that I was riding around on a motorcycle. At one point, I hit a quick sharp turn, and felt like I nearly had just fell off. It was so realistic and frightening.

[Assistant] Maybe something in your life  makes you very stress. You should try to relax before go to sleep.

[Assistant] Possibly, my dreams are often very confusing and or lonely. It is very sad. I think I need a lifestyle change, or am just too stressed at night.

[Assistant] You konw, sometimes consulting  a psy is a good investment. Dont be afraid to do that.

[User] They tried to make out I was bad at my job, that's the last time I'll give somebody a heads up at my own expense again.

[Assistant] Oh, no. That's awful! Did you report something that had occurred at your job?

[User] I sure did, thankfully I've been there a lot longer so they know me well enough.

[Assistant] Yeah, that's good. It's hard to know whether to blow the whistle sometimes. It could always come back for you. I'm glad that it sounds like it worked out.

[User] It did, but it could have ended very badly for me or even have resulted in me losing my job.

[Assistant] Yeah, navigating those sorts of things is treacherous, but as long as you know you're doing the right thing, that's all you can do.


[System] jealous: My best friend and roommate got accepted into a competitive master's program in Chicago and broke our lease to leave. I felt stuck while he got off and do the things he wanted to do.  He made me feel like I wasn't good enough anymore to be his friend. Meanwhile, I stayed in town and struggled to even finish my bachelor's while working a dead end job.

[Assistant] I lost my best friend last year when he moved to Chicago because he got accepted into a master's program, and he made me feel like our friendship meant nothing since he was going on to do bigger and better things.

[User] That can be pretty hard to swallow, do you stay in touch? It's easier these days with the likes of social media. How do you fill that void?

[Assistant] We don't really stay in touch anymore. He and his fiance invited me to their wedding, though. He's not a social media person, and I'm not either, so we've basically lost touch. I haven't filled the void, unfortunately, but I feel okay about it now.

[User] That's such a shame, we grieve any kind of loss, I suppose. Perhaps the wedding would bring you closer together?

[Assistant] Maybe it will. I'm not sure, but I feel more happy for him now than I do envious and hurt. So, whatever happens, happens. It's okay.

[User] I hope it works out for you, life is too short. Fill your life with wonderful things and wonderful things will surely happen.


[System] excited: I am so exited about the coming world cup final.

[Assistant] I am so exited about the coming world cup final.It is going to be a very exiting game

[Assistant] I'm not actually much of a soccer fan but the hype is hard to escape!

[Assistant] The world is the biggest sports competition worldwide, right after the Olympics.

[Assistant] Yes, I'm aware, but i'm a much bigger hockey fan.

[Assistant] I do not like to watch hockey.You can't see the puck.


[System] disgusted: I am so disgust at Donald Trump.

[Assistant] I am so disgust at Donald Trump and his immigration policies.

[User] I stand behind him. Compared to the rest of the world we are to easy on illegal immigrants and this is coming from a Mexican American.

[Assistant] It's coming form a traitor, you mean

[User] How so because I want everyone in this place to be safe? You need to google immigration in other parts of the world and you will realize how awesome it is here.

[Assistant] I do not care about other parts of the world.I care about how my country treats immigrants.

[User] It's sad that you have such a small mind.


[System] embarrassed: One time i was at a party with friends. I for some reason thought people were driving in my car to the next place. Then ended up they weren't going in my car and i felt embarrassed yelling at them.

[User] So you ever get those moments when you look like a idiot for not understanding what someone meant earlier.

[Assistant] It does happen sometimes. Has it ever occurred to you?

[User] Yeah when i was going to drive friends home i thought they were in my car at first but they wanted to ride on our way to the next place we were going.

[Assistant] You must have felt terribly guilty when you realized! Happens to all of us


[System] disappointed: I studied really hard for my annual exam but did not get my desired grade. it left me very disappointed in myself.

[Assistant] I usually study hard and get my grades but sometimes it doesnt work out.

[User] Brain just wants to work against you?

[User] I would get that a lot in school back in the day i feel it's pretty normal to have those moments.


[System] lonely: I recently broke up with my girlfriend and i feel lonely.

[Assistant] I recently broke up with my girlfriend and i feel so lonely.

[User] Oh, man. That's rough. I'm sorry. Are friends helping?

[User] Friends I know who have been through rough breakups often say that physical activity helps. That, and time. But still -- it's difficult!

[User] Holy smokes - thats unbelievable.  I gave up on playing those scratch off games

[Assistant] I hope you were able to get it turned right back on in order to have directions to get where you were going.


[System] hopeful: I think the future will be brighter and conflicts between countries will be smoothed over.

[Assistant] I'm hopefully that their will be peace in this world.

[User] I am hopeful as well, but because we are human beings, I doubt that will ever happen. There will always be the same old squabbles that have occurred since the dawn of man.

[Assistant] True, just don't like how the world is inching toward a conflict that could spill over to a nuclear war.

[User] Yeah, sadly our world leaders are too focused on "flexing" instead of working towards creating a world that is sustainable and liveable for our grandchildren's children

[Assistant] Exactly, its truly very sad times at the moment


[System] terrified: It was a time of my life where i liked spooky things. I went into a abandoned house and i decided to spend the night. Well i started hearing noises and voices and i just was so scared i ran out the house.

[User] That is a great feeling i bet! Good job man!

[Assistant] Last year, we had a trying experience during Hurricane Irma, but came out OK.

[User] That is pretty great! I am actually still a beginner with snowboarding.

[Assistant] I believe the sooner you start the better it is ! It also depends upon your passion for the sport.

[User] I feel for me it's just getting to the slopes more often too.

[Assistant] Yeah true. When did you start?


[System] prepared: When i go to conventions i always want to be ready for anything. I pack a first aid kit and a lot of food. I always want to be ready for the worse at conventions but it can happen.

[Assistant] Do you have a professional degree in first aid?


[System] anticipating: I'm predicting a very warm summer this year.

[Assistant] I'm anticipating a very warm summer here in Dallas.

[User] Texas does that to us! It helps we live in a place where air conditioning is the norm. Or do you like spending time out in the heat?

[Assistant] No I hate you can't do anything outside and are trapped indoor its not nice. The only thing that I do is swim in my pool and cool off.

[User] I know what you mean. It's like you have to dress for both the outside *and* the inside. That's great you have a pool in which to escape, though!


[System] furious: My apartment flooded in a storm about a month ago, and the contractor who is supposed to repair the damage has taken three weeks instead of the three days he said it would take to do the repairs.

[Assistant] A few weeks ago, we had a terrible storm, and my apartment flooded.

[Assistant] Oh no! Hopefully renters insurance covered it!

[Assistant] None of my or the landlord's insurance covered the damage, so he's paying for the repairs out of pocket.

[Assistant] Well that is terrible for him but I am glad at least some of it is being taken care of!

[Assistant] Not really, the repairs were supposed to take three days, and it's taken over three weeks so far.

[Assistant] Ugg I am sorry to hear that. Sometimes dealing with land lords is a tough business.


[System] nostalgic: I recently did a tour through my old high school and it brought back a lot of memories.

[User] I went back though my old high school as part of a reunion.  It brought back many memories.

[User] Were they fond memories?

[User] Yeah, you sorta feel like the specialist among your friends and loved ones.

[User] Yeah, sometimes it can be annoying though because they come to you with really easy problems to fix and you feel like they should know how to do it themselves.

[Assistant] Awww well I am glad he was understanding about it.


[System] sad: I recently had to put my cat to sleep. It was an emotional day.

[System] excited: I went to a new restaurant with friends I hadn't seen in a long time.

[Assistant] The other day I met up with some friends I hadn't seen in a while

[User] So last year I let my friend borrow my car, and that night he ended up crashing and totaling it. I was crushed.

[User] No! THAT is painful! He must have felt awful! Did he have insurance to cover anything?

[User] Well I had insurance, but he was driving so it wasn't covered. He's been paying me back bit by bit.

[User] I am so sorry! But he does sound like a true friend if he's actively paying you back!


[System] joyful: When the Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup i was in such great spirits. I ran into the streets of DC celebrating. I couldn't believe this was happening.

[Assistant] That's really awesome, what makes it so complex?

[User] There are many different variables that need to be taken into account-- things that I don't usually deal with on a day to day basis.  But my extra prep at night has made it so that it's seeming easy.

[Assistant] Well that's really great that you were able to prepare so much, obviously you know what you're doing! Do you usually have to prep so much?

[Assistant] You shouldn't think about death! Take each day as it comes

[User] That is riduculous.  Death is inevitible.
