[System] surprised: My husband threw me a graduation party and I was so shocked!

He is not just horrible but I knew if something did not change it would have gotten worse

[Assistant] I don't know if its weird but I am most comfortable laying in bed watching TV and hanging out from there.

[Assistant] I'm right there with you. I've always been a home-body. I don't like going out as much. Sometimes people say millennials and technology have disconnected people too much.. that could be true. But at least we're comfortable doin it.

[Assistant] Yeah for sure, I still like people but not everyday and my fiance is usually enough for me with my animals!

[Assistant] Absolutely. I'm the kind of person that can be around for people a little bit, but get drained by them. I think that's getting more and more common for others. Could you tell me what kind of animals you have real quick!

[System] embarrassed: I farted infront of a lady in the train.

[Assistant] SO I dropped my wallet in the train, and when I bent down to pick it up, I accidentally released a  loud fart. Worse of it call, there was lady who was sitting and heard it!

[System] apprehensive: My current employer is having big financials problem. I am afraid that the company will go into bankruptcy.

[Assistant] My current employer is having big financials problem. I am afraid that the company will go into bankruptcy.

[Assistant] That sounds really frustrating to deal with. You sound like you're self-aware and anticipating the problem, though. Perhaps you've already started preparing to look elsewhere?

[Assistant] I started looking. I have been with this company for so long that I forgot how to write a resume and how to look efficiently for a job.

[Assistant] Well, luckily Google is so helpful these days. There's tons of templates out there. It's kind of annoying to deal with, especially because it's being motivated by your company possibly disappearing.. but it won't take long at all to craft a good one, especially because oftentimes the shorter they are, the better


[System] confident: First time in a long time I've gotten a haircut that I'm satisfied with. For once my big head doesn't look so big. I actually don't feel too stupid looking!

[Assistant] First time in a long time I've gotten a haircut that I'm satisfied with. For once my big head doesn't look so big. I actually don't feel too stupid looking!

[Assistant] Nice. Did you find a good hairdresser?

[Assistant] Just some barber who found a way to give me what I like without me being able to say it. That's always been my problem, I have problems describing it, and feel dumb trying to find pictures showing it. I just told him to do what he think would look good.. luckily it worked

[Assistant] That is great.


[System] anxious: My dog is sick so i took him to the vet now we are waiting for the results of his bloodwork

[Assistant] She's have a girl! I am so excited!

[Assistant] Awww! Congratulations! I hope everything goes smoothly.


[System] anxious: I find myself with being over ran with anxiety that it is hard to concentrate and stay focused

[User] Sometimes I feel like I have so much going on that I feel overwhelmed and over ran with anxiety that it makes it hard to stay focused on everything

[Assistant] I totally understand.  Life can sometimes seem overwhelming.  I have learned to stop, take a deep breath, and do one thing at a time.

[User] That makes sense. I am going to start trying that more

[Assistant] It's just a way to calm the body and the mind.  It is SO easy to fall into the trap of anxiety.  But falling there doesn't accomplish a thing.  Take a breath, focus on one small success, then move to the next.


[System] jealous: My friends just recently purchased a new 2019 Honda Civic.  I am truly angry; I shouldn't be, but I am.  I should be the one with the new car.

[Assistant] My friends just recently purchased a brand new, new car smelling, 2019 Honda Civic.

[User] Yikes! Bet the car payment is not worth it. lol

[Assistant] Well, for me, I am honestly angry.  I look at their success and feel it should be me!

[User] Sometimes jealousy can become us. But most times it does not pay to be that way, cause 9 times out of 10 those kind of people is just living off credit so technically it is not something they own out right

[Assistant] You are probably right.  I feel like such a terrible friend for feeling that way.  Nevertheless, it is a little motivation for me to work that much harder.


[System] guilty: I had stolen a few candies from the jar in the store. I had to tell my mom after.

[Assistant] Just had to tell mom I stole some candies,

[Assistant] Oh no, I would have had a heart attack.

[Assistant] Sell the house!


[System] terrified: my boyfriend dragged me to a haunted house and it was to much for me

[User] my boyfriend took me to a haunted house

[Assistant] Nice, how was it?

[User] no it was scary!

[Assistant] Hope you're all right!

[System] embarrassed: I dislike when I have to get up in the middle of a training session when the whole class is filled, my face gets all red and blotchy.

[Assistant] I can relate, I get red face when ever I have to come infront of the class to present.

[Assistant] My friend just won a lottery and got tickets to the Superbowl and I lost!

[Assistant] Oh gosh, is he going to take you to the Superbowl at least?

[Assistant] Just one ticket, that sounds lonely for him.

[Assistant] Wow. That is really horrible. I am so sorry that happened to you.


[System] embarrassed: I lost my swim bottoms at the water park.

[Assistant] I lost my swim bottoms going down the slide at the water park.

[Assistant] Haha.. I feel like that's almost a rite of passage when going to water parks. I've had that happen, too. Hopefully it wasn't too traumatic for you. I almost lost my glasses once, too! Now that was really scary

[Assistant] It was horrible, but I recovered! No shame.

[Assistant] That's the spirit. It's good that you don't take yourself too seriously. Heck, my roommate walked in on me doing some "self-pleasure" just yesterday.. I used to think that was my worst nightmare, but in the moment I just did my best to laugh it off so we could move forward faster


[System] furious: My apartment complex is nickel and diming me and counting off so many things wrong with the apartment to detract from my security deposit as I get set to leave after this month. I know people said to expect to never see your security deposit again, but this is ridiculous! I feel like the apartment is pretty much exactly the same!

[Assistant] My apartment complex is nickel and diming me and counting off so many things wrong with the apartment to detract from my security deposit as I get set to leave after this month. I know people said to expect to never see your security deposit again, but this is ridiculous! I feel like the apartment is pretty much exactly the same

[Assistant] I hate when that happens! The same thing happened to me when I moved out of my apartment. They kept my security deposit because they needed to replace carpet.

[Assistant] It's a racket. The building is from the 1950s and has hardly been updated. Of course everything is going to look like crap. They just splash the cheapest white paint everywhere. At least there's no carpet in mine that would need to be replaced. Bleh

[Assistant] Mine hadn't been replaced in 6 years, I found that out after the fact.


[System] confident: My boss informed me that I am in pole position of getting the promotion.

[System] faithful: If there's one thing I learned it's to trust my own judgment and mine alone.  Forget what the haters say and just keep grinding toward my goals

[Assistant] People can give me all the bullshit advice they want on how to live my life and how I need to know my place in society....but I'll just smile and nod because I only trust my instincts and am have ridiculously more freedom, money and happiness than I've ever had before

[Assistant] Good on you. You need to be comfortable in your own skin and its not other people's business to tell you how to live.

[Assistant] Exactly.  Funny thing is they're usually the same people that bitch and moan on Facebook about having a job or boss they hate but do nothing to change their path it's hilarious

[Assistant] Yes, they should really learn to concentrate on their own life instead of complaining about other people.


[System] afraid: I was in bed and i heard a loud noise in my kitchen. but i was home alone!

[User] i was inbed last night and heard a loud bang in the kitchen

[Assistant] Did you get up to check it out?

[User] yeah i was sneaking in there when i found the cat looking as guilty as can be

[System] apprehensive: I have an overseas trip coming up. I have never been and I am feeling a little scared right now about going.

[Assistant] I have an overseas trip coming up. I have never been and I am feeling a little scared right now about going.

[User] What a wonderful memory.

[System] surprised: I woke up this morning to my wife telling me she was pregnant!

[User] I woke up this morning to my wife telling me she's pregnant!

[Assistant] Oh hey that's awesome!  That is awesome right?

[User] It is soooo awesome.  We have been wanting a baby for so long.  I can't wait, but I was shocked out of a dead sleep!

[Assistant] That is awesome!!!! Congratulations!


[System] terrified: Today,as i was leaving for work in the morning,i had a tire burst in the middle of a busy road. That scared the hell out of me!

[User] A few weeks ago, I was walking through my hallway, minding my own business, when all of a sudden a hand reached out from under a table and grabbed my ankle. I was so suprised. I thought i was got. Turns out, it was my son.

[User] That's funny, hope he didn't give you a heart attack.

[User] I may have let out a scream that will have him question my manhood for the rest of our lives, lol.

[User] I would probably scream also.


[System] excited: I'm overly excited today because will be flying outside the country for the first time tomorrow.

[User] Traveling to South Africa then to Ghana. Also my first time visiting Africa

[Assistant] You are going to love it I am sure. Safe Travels!


[System] disgusted: I was holding my son over my head, playing with him. A few seconds after doing so, a gush of throw up hit me in the face.

[User] One time, I was holding my son over my head, when all of a sudden, he threw up all over my face. I almost cried.

[User] Thats horrible, hope he is ok.

[User] yeah, he had just drank a bottle, and I was moving him around like an airplane. In retrospect. I deserved it.

[User] I see, glad he is ok.


[System] caring: I felt caring when i helped an elderly lady carry her bags to her door.  She was struggling to carry some heavy bags and i offered her help.

[System] sentimental: I had just moved to Texas and my boyfriend took me to Kemah boardwalk. It made me think of times I spent vacationing back home.

[User] Im sorry to hear that. I have never had a dog. What was your experience of the dog?

[User] The dog was there with my throughout my life. He saw me through boyfriends and friends.

[User] I am really sorry to hear that. What was the dogs name?

[User] I locked my keys in my car about a week ago. It was 95 degrees outside and I was at the store getting groceries.

[Assistant] OMG wow.... i hope you got it open quick!

[User] luckily there are police who patrol around the mall on the other end of the parking lot. one of them got it open for me


[System] afraid: I felt a bit terrified when i was hit by a drunk driver last year but i am very grateful to be alive to today

[User] Hello

[Assistant] Hi, a few months ago, my mother found some stray dogs that were starving, so she told us about them. Of course, we brought the poor babies to our house, a mother dog and her two puppies. My heart went out to them, as their ribs were showing, but they were still so loving and sweet.

[User] Oh no im so sorry to hear that :/ Thats good that you took them in

[Assistant] Yes, I really felt so much sympathy for them and we all really liked them. We already had several pets, so I wasn't going to keep them, but I wanted to help them get better and find them a good home. We did for all of them, with the puppies being able to stay together.


[System] impressed: I was very happy about a time when i saw an elderly lady being helped by a younger male , its nice to see people still helping others now days.

[User] I wanted to let you know recently i saw a younger man helping an old lady who fell to the ground. Its nice to see people helping others

[System] joyful: When my current girlfriend said yes to dating me.

[System] impressed: When my friends deck was finished being built it was very nice.

[Assistant] So my friend built a deck and it turned out amazing, I didn't know he had it in him.

[User] How big was the deck?

[Assistant] I think its probably about 20 feet by 25 feet? I'm bad at guessing that kind of stuff hah

[User] Wow that is big.


[System] surprised: My girlfriend came up behind me without making any noise.

[Assistant] My girlfriends really quiet and she tends to scare me a lot.

[Assistant] What is scary about what she is doing? I'm not quite understanding what you mean.

[Assistant] Well, when shes dealing with her own personal issues she tends to kind of just vanish, I haven't talked to her in a few days and it's making me worry.

[Assistant] Oh wow, I can see why you're worrying. You should really talk to her about all this if she comes around soon.


[System] proud: Created a program at work.

[Assistant] I have to fill out forms all day so I scripted a program that does half of it for me and it works really well!

[Assistant] My girlfriend hasn't talked to me in a few days and I'm struggling to keep it together but I am at the moment.

[User] Have you tried to call her?

[User] Maybe give her space.


[System] sentimental: My grandmother gave me a rock.

[Assistant] My grandma gave me a stone and said it was my birthstone and I hold it very close to my heart now.

[User] What birthstone is it.

[Assistant] It is amethyst.

[User] What birthstone is it?


[System] proud: I got to a really high level in a video game.

[Assistant] I play some competitive video games and I think I'm pretty good at one of them.

[Assistant] My daughter is very smart. She learns things really quickly.

[User] Thats great.

[Assistant] Yes, she picks up on things that I didn't even think she knew about.

[User] Did you teach her?


[System] confident: I recently went surfing and surfed waves everyone else was afraid to. I was the man,

[User] I can't believe how big the waves are. Hurricane Chris amped up my summer.

[Assistant] Did you stay and ride it out? I bet it was quite a thing to see!

[User] Yes, I've been surfing for ever. Only three of us in the water.

[Assistant] That must be so much fun. I have never surfed but love to be on a boat.

[User] You are never to old to start. I'm teaching my mate and he is 70 I think. Hopefully I have a boat soon.'

[Assistant] Wow I hope I am fit enough at 70 to surf!


[System] grateful: After my 4th child was born, I had friends sign up to bring dinner for us for 2 weeks. I had a c section and was really limited in what I was able to do, so I was very grateful.

[Assistant] I usually hate to ask for help, so when my friends all surprised me by taking turns bringing us meals for 2 weeks after my 4th child was born I was blown away. I was so relieved to have help.

[User] Wow, 4 children my first is on the way and I'm freaking out. You must have great friends.

[Assistant] That is so exciting, congratulations! We moved 17 hours away from family, so having a great group of friends is really important to us.

[User] Thank You. That is our next step we are moving from NYC to Miami after the baby. How can we find friends like yours?

[Assistant] Get involved in something. Church, a social club for interests you are in. I don't recommend parent groups, for some reason they get really nasty. Just find a way to connect with people. Having children is so much harder without a support system!

[User] I see what you mean about a parents group. I joined a dads group in facebook and it's full of people who complain non stop about  being an adult.


[System] proud: I was proud of the painting I did

[Assistant] I went to this thing called a Paint Night and I ended up making an okay looking painting

[User] That sounds fun, I was never any good at painting

[Assistant] I am not either, but they had an instructor to follow along to! :)

[User] That probably helps a good deal!


[System] annoyed: I was driving home from work and some jerk cut me off. I can't believe that.

[User] That Jerk, Did'nt even wave when he cut me off.

[User] I wish I had a rubber bumper to ram those people with!

[User] After the Apocalypse I'll just ran them off the road. To make things worse he was in a Horse and Buggy.

[User] That is terrible, he could have hurt the horse!

[User] That's what me the most mad. It's like he did not care at all.


[System] excited: I was super stoked when I saw my first paycheck from my new job!

[Assistant] So I got a new job recently, and I got my first paycheck and it was pretty good compared to what I was expecting!

[Assistant] Nice, congratulations. How are you liking the new job itself?

[Assistant] It's pretty good so far, I think I'm gonna like it for the long haul!

[Assistant] Awesome, I hope the job goes great for you!


[System] surprised: We adopted a new kitten after our beloved cat ran away. The day we brought our new cat home, our old cat showed up.

[Assistant] When I was a little girl, our cat ran away and was gone so long we didn't think he would come home so we adopted another kitten.

[Assistant] Thats sad, hopefully the new cat got to live a long and full life with you

[Assistant] Well, we had a funny twist. The same day we brought the new kitten home, or old cat showed up. We kind of thought maybe he was hanging out close to home and was mad that we replaced him.

[Assistant] Haha thats crazy, I hope they became best friends, I love cats.


[System] sad: My mom came to visit in March for a couple of weeks. She helped out a lot around here and then she had to leave and go home miles away.

[Assistant] I really liked having my mom here. She helped with the kids but then when she left I missed it.

[User] I can imagine! That extra set of hands -- and a person you can *trust* -- that's the best!

[Assistant] Yes, the kids really missed her when she left. It took us a while to get back to the normal around here.

[User] Does she live far away? It sounds like maybe visits aren't too frequent.


[System] anticipating: Waiting for my food at dennys.

[Assistant] This one time I spent an entire hour waiting for food at dennys.

[Assistant] An hour? Damn for somewhere as meh as Denny's that really isn't worth it.

[Assistant] Its really not, the foods not worth that long of a wait.

[Assistant] I haven't been there in so long for that exact reason.


[System] embarrassed: I went to a really nice dinner for my husbands work. Right before we went in I used the restroom and didn't notice that I tucked my dress into my panty hose and I walked past almost the whole room to walk to my seat.

[Assistant] I went to a nice work dinner with my husband. I can't get over how stupid I made myself look.

[Assistant] Oh really? What happened that made you look bad?

[Assistant] I went to the bathroom real fast before we went into the dining room. I tucked my dress into my panty hose and didn't even notice. I walked past everyone with my underwear showing. I'm sure I'll laugh about it... someday.

[Assistant] Oof yea that seems like it might take a few years or 10 before you can laugh at it but at least its over.


[System] confident: I had no issues helping a lady with her computer problem.

[Assistant] A lady was having issues with a program on her computer, and I solved it with no problems!

[Assistant] That's awesome! My experience was quite opposite as I sat waiting in the dentist chair for a 2 1/2 hour procedure!

[Assistant] That sounds unpleasant, did you get in afterwards?

[Assistant] Yes! I'm actually glad it's over :) So, how long did it take you to fix the computer problem?


[System] furious: My bank messed up my account and kept charging me over draft charges that were not mine. I had plenty of money in my account.

[User] I'm so angry they end up charging me 255 in charges that did not belong to me.

[User] Yeah, that is pretty annoying to have happen.

[User] I called them and did not hold back.

[User] Good man! That is your money and they just wanna snatch from you.

[User] I was going to go down and go nuts but my wife stopped me.


[System] jealous: My friend had encouraged me to apply for teaching jobs. I went on several and didn't get hired. She went on one and got hired right away.

[Assistant] My friend was telling me about teaching jobs to apply for. I didn't get hired, but she got one right off the bat!

[User] It sounds like you're happy for her, which is commendable given you didn't get hired. Were you very disappointed?

[Assistant] I was kind of envious that she got the job and I didn't because it seemed like I was more qualified than she was.

[User] That's always tough. It's so hard to tell what other factors come into play in situations like that. Are you happy where you're currently at, or still looking?


[System] caring: When my girlfriend was in the hospital.

[Assistant] My girlfriend has some mental health issues and sometimes ends up in the hospital, and I go and see her as often as I can.

[Assistant] I'm so sorry about that. It sounds like you're doing your best to be supportive.

[Assistant] Thanks, I am definitely trying to be as supportive as I can, she's my world.

[Assistant] She's very lucky to have you. I wish you guys the best!


[System] nostalgic: I am 32 now, so anytime that I go to a place that I did something when i was younger makes me whimsical and causes me to think about the past.

[User] I love going to places that I explored and play at as a child. Every time I go, I always feel super nostalgic.

[User] I am very nostalgic too, that must be a fun time!

[User] Yes, until you realize that it was 20 years since you played there, and you start feeling old

[User] That is true, but it is part of life, but it is cool to see things again, regain perspective


[System] apprehensive: I have a tendency to be praticular about my stuff, so it was culture shock when my girlfriend moved in with me. She started moving and rearranging my things. I was very apprehensive at first.

[User] I hope this doesn't make me sound like a horrible boyfriend, but when my girlfriend first moved into my house, I felt very apprehensive towards the move at first. I was used to it being one way, and she was changing everything. Took some getting used to.

[User] I'm sure it did! It's not easy to have to adapt to another person's habits.

[User] I know. It caused some tension the first week or so. I had to take a deep breath, and realize its just things, and it was just me being reluctant to change.

[User] Yes, sometimes we have to learn to let go of the little things so we can appreciate the more important things. It sounds like you have done a great job!


[System] sentimental: I was looking at old photographs of my son yesterday, and almost started crying. I still remember those days, and started looking at all of his old baby clothes

[User] I always hate thinking that my son is getting old. Just like a few days ago, I was looking at some of my sons old clothes, and it made me very sentimental. I never want him to get old on me.

[Assistant] I believe you are really sad although it's a fact of life

[User] Yes. You get to see them change and grow. It makes it all worth it.

[Assistant] True, and the good thing is that when the kids grow, they provide moral support to parents.


[System] surprised: I love surprises, and on my birthday, my girlfriend waited until the last minute to give me something. I honestly thought she had forgot.

[User] I love a good surprise like anyone else; however, when my girlfriend waited until 8 pm on my birthday to tell me happy birthday and give me a present, I was caught off guard. I thought she had forgot.

[User] Maybe she did and remembered last minute. You should ask her!

[User] She remembered but was trying to draw it out to make me think that she had forgot. I should have known because I made her wait until 10 pm on her birthday.

[User] Next year I would just forget her birthday all together!


[System] jealous: My neighbors 20 year old kid got a new BMW. I'm 33 and drive a 1990 Crown Vic, not by choice. I need a new car in my life.

[User] I work two full time jobs and he stays at home all day, Not Fair!

[User] Is he a stay at home father, or does he just not want to work?

[User] He's 20 he just wants to party and sleep.

[User] I am sorry to hear that. Maybe as he gets older he will get his priorities in order and see how hard you work.

[User] Doubtful, he's a punk!


[System] surprised: A situation in which friends organize a birthday party for you when you did not expect them to do so. You walk in a dark room, turn on the light and all your friends jump out and say "happy birthday" and present you a cake.

[Assistant] So the other day was my 23rd Birthday! I had no idea what my friends had planned but i walked into a room, a room which i thought was empty as the lights were all off, and all my friends jumped out and yelled happy birthday! It was such a shock, and felt so nice to have people who cared deeply about me provide me with such an experience!

[User] Must of been pretty surprised, Also great to have friends like that.

[Assistant] It really was! They even had my favorite kind of cake, chocolate mousse from my favorite bakery!

[User] That must of just made everything even better!

[Assistant] Right?! I mean who doesn't love cake. But that's not even the best part. on the counter, there was a HUGE pile of presents calling my name.


[System] surprised: I just walked into work and got a raise.

[User] I'm thrilled. I got a raise!

[Assistant] That is a great news. You surely have done a great job.

[User] Best Ever. I didn't have a clue I was going to get it. I just walked in and boom got a raise.

[Assistant] You are very lucky

[User] Your not kidding and to think I was going to quit.


[System] terrified: The other night my boyfriend and I watched the film "within" on Netflix and i was pretty scared trying to fall asleep afterwards

[Assistant] Have you seen the film "within" on netflix? The other night my boyfriend and i watched it and I had trouble sleeping afterwards, it was pretty creepy!

[Assistant] No I haven't actually, I recently just canceled my netflix service! I have been thinking about resubscribing though.

[Assistant] Why did you cancel your subscription? If you ever re-subscribe i would definetly recommend checking out "within"!

[Assistant] I could not find the content that was best suited for me personally to consider it worthy at the time, but if I do I will definitely check it out!


[System] guilty: I spilt wed wine on my moms red carpet and blamed it on the cat.

[Assistant] I spilt wed wine on my moms red carpet and blamed it on the cat

[User] Was the color of red that different to show on the red carpet?

[Assistant] Very! It was a dark maroon stain.

[User] Oh! wow that must of been pretty obvious then.


[System] ashamed: I can not believe I forgot my Anniversary.

[User] My wife is angry and I don't know what to say. My anniversary was yesterday and I had no clue!

[User] Argh! That's tough! Have you been able to come from a place of authentic apology? It can be easy to be defensive in those situations, which of course only makes it worse!

[User] I'm still working on it. she has has not given me much of a chance.

[User] What's your approach? Does humor ever work....? You know, like wearing a dunce cap while holding a huge bouquet of flowers? Or going John Cusack and holding a boombox overhead, playing "your" song?

[User] I used diamond earrings.


[System] jealous: Another girl was flirting with my boyfriend at a networking event and i felt rather envious,

[Assistant] So the other night my boyfriend and I were out socializing at a networking event and another woman went up to him and touched his arm I coudn't help but feel a little envious even though he pulled away.

[Assistant] You should not be so insecure like that.

[Assistant] Its not about insecurity!

[Assistant] What is about them? Do you think he is better than you?


[System] anticipating: I have a fun trip to Las Vegas coming up in the fall that i'm very excited for!

[Assistant] Have you ever been to Las Vegas?

[Assistant] yes, several times.The place is magical.

[Assistant] I'm actually going for the first time in my adult life this fall! I'm really excited!

[Assistant] Well, you are about to have the fun of your life, but gamble responsible.


[System] surprised: The night of my wedding proposal i was not expecting my boyfriend to get down on one knee and ask me to be his wife

[Assistant] I was thinking about my boyfriends wedding proposal the other night, it had left me in absolute shock. I did not expect him to get down on one knee and propose.

[Assistant] Why. Did you started dating recently or something

[Assistant] No we'd been dating a very long time but he was never the traditional kind. Never wanted an official ceremony but after meeting me i guess it all changed!

[Assistant] The most important thing is what you want.


[System] confident: I just got home from a day on the beach surfing the waves of Hurricane Chris. I did what others could not!

[User] I'm one of the best surfers that has ever hit the beach. I ride giants.

[Assistant] Really?? are you famous then? What is your name?

[User] Yes, you can google me.

[Assistant] Are you still competing on a professional level?

[User] Nope, I've got a family now to support so I surf less and work more. But I've still got killer moves.


[System] furious: I was just walking out of Taco bell. The bottom fell out of my bag and my wonderful taco bell covered the ground.

[User] I can't believe the bottom of the bag ripped and my wonderful taco's covered the ground. I'm sure my face was bright red with anger.

[User] NOT THE TACOS!!!! Seriously, I can understand how frustrating that is. Especially when you have the taste for something.....then gone!

[User] It's not like I could back in. I waited in line 20 minutes and had been looking forward to them all day. I had to skip lunch due to work being busy. I'm still mad.

[User] Even worse. I'm so sorry. What did you do instead?

[User] A bowl of dry cereal.

[User] Laughing *and* crying for you! Next time!

[User] Text time I'm going to treat those sweet fatty taco's like the baby of Jesus. I get heated up just thinking of it.

[User] I wish I could emoticon this whole thing.....a string of cry-laughing. I wish I could treat you to lunch there!


[System] impressed: My friend just ran her first full marathon after recovering from a broken leg.

[Assistant] Have you ever participated in any races, half or full marathons?

[User] I have not! I used to run a lot for soccer practices. Have you?

[Assistant] I have not either! My best friend recently recovered from a broken leg and just completed her first full marathon, it was inspirational!

[User] That's great for her.


[System] afraid: I am not afraid to admit this: I am 32 and afraid of the dark. The other day, my electricity went out due to a storm. It was dark, I couldn't find my phone or a light, so I screamed for my girlfriend to wake up. Am I embarrassed to say that, not at all, lol

[User] I am not afraid to admit this: I am 32 and afraid of the dark. The other day, my electricity went out due to a storm. It was dark, I couldn't find my phone or a light, so I screamed for my girlfriend to wake up. Am I embarrassed to say that, not at all, lol

[Assistant] hahaha thats funny why are you still afraid of the dark?

[User] I am not scared of the dark. I am just scared of the things in the dark. And the ironic thing is, I don't even believe in the supernatural, so I am scared of the dark to just be scared of it, I think.

[Assistant] OOO so you think something else is hiding in the dark and that's why your scared?

[User] Nope. I am just scared that in case there is the supernatural. It makes sense in my head;however, when I am saying it out loud, it doesnt, lol


[System] prepared: My last job interview I really researched the company and what all they do.

[Assistant] Before I applied at Inline I really did some background research on the company and what all they were involved in.

[Assistant] That's probably the best thing to do before you go to work for a place. Were you happy with your results?

[Assistant] I was!  It ended up securing me the job because the company itself is small so the CEO and interviewer were really impressed..

[Assistant] Sometimes it's the extra step someone is willing to do that will make it. Good for you!

[Assistant] Thank you!  I really enjoy this position a lot so I am happy it turned out well.


[System] lonely: I felt really alone when my husband went to work out of state for a few weeks.

[Assistant] My husband hangs steel and the last time he had to go work in another state I felt really lost and alone for a bit.

[Assistant] I feel the same way when I'm away from my cat.  Does he have to travel a lot for work?

[Assistant] Sometimes he does.  Lately there hasn't been any local work so he has had to go out of state and its just too far to come back.

[Assistant] Maybe one day if you have the time, you can pay him a surprise visit.

[Assistant] That is a good idea! I'll have to sneak his work schedule and give it a try.


[System] joyful: As soon as I arrived at the bus stop and the bus slowly stopped in front of me.

[Assistant] I made it on time to the bus stop.

[User] That is good. Where you running late

[Assistant] I was running late and so did the bus.

[User] That sucks. I hate when I am running late I always feel behind


[System] guilty: I ate the last piece of pizza and didn't know my husband actually wanted it and I am feeling pretty bad.

[Assistant] So I kind of ate the last piece of pizza that we had and I didn't know Tom wanted it... Feeling kinda bad.

[Assistant] I don't think you should feel bad, you didn't know!

[Assistant] Yeah but he just seemed so disappointed when he came home for lunch.

[Assistant] I'm sure he will be okay. Maybe you can make it up to him.

[Assistant] I should probably just buy him another pizza soon.

[Assistant] Sounds like a good idea.


[System] joyful: I took my son to his first swimming pool. He loved it so much. I don't really go much because i hate the water, but seeing his joy made me forget all about my hatred for the water.

[User] I will start off saying I hate the water! I can't stand being in it; however, that changed last week when I took my son to his first pool. His joy erased all my hatred for water.

[User] Aw. Children will make us do things we NEVER thought we would (or could) do!

[User] Yes! I start swimming lessons next week. I have went 32 years without knowing how to swim, and that one visit changed all that.

[User] That is SO exciting! Congratulations! You are a fabulous role model for your son.


[System] sentimental: I heard one of my grandmothers favorite artists playing on the radio on the way home and it made me think of our car rides together.

[Assistant] Oh today I heard one of Nannie's favorite songs on the radio.  It made me really miss our car rides together.

[User] Oh that's so sweet. My grandmother is a great person too and I'm glad to know her.

[Assistant] She was a lovely lady indeed!  I miss our time together a lot especially when I hear the music she used to listen to.

[User] I think it's great that you have such positive memories of her, that way she'll always be there in some form.


[System] nostalgic: I recently went back to the town I grew up in. I miss it!

[User] Do you go visit some place that makes you miss growing up?

[Assistant] Yes, I love to visit the zoo!

[User] I recently went back to Michigan and got visit my old town and even the High school I had such great times back then.

[Assistant] What were some of your favorite things to do back in highschool?

[User] I played Football all 4 years, used to Skateboard in the parking lot and hang out in the auto shop. The good old days.


[System] caring: My mother was always there for me when I was sick, annoyed and sad.

[Assistant] My mother was always there for me when I was sick, annoyed and sad

[Assistant] Well my dad too but my mum was so much more, even when I was naughty she was still there.

[Assistant] My mom was pretty awesome too! I'm glad you had a good one as well.


[System] terrified: When I was little I got chased by a large dog and now that I'm much older the feeling is still the same.

[Assistant] When I was little I got chased by a large dog and now that I'm much older the feeling is still the same.

[Assistant] That is bad. Are you still afraid a lot?

[Assistant] I am, everytime I see a dog, I begin to run the other direction instantly

[Assistant] You need to fight your fear


[System] anxious: I'm an introvert, so being faced with a new situation and new people puts me on edge.

[User] I actually have no friends, can you believe that? I'm ok with it though.

[Assistant] wow that's very sad!  I am really sorry!

[User] No, it's not sad. I really like to be alone, as i'm an introvert. I need my space.

[Assistant] Well I guess if that is something you enjoy.  I can't say that I have alot of friends.  Mostly my friends are family

[User] Well in that case, I have a few friends. Outside of family, I don't.


[System] apprehensive: I am always more cautious when driving at night, and when it's raining.

[User] Do you ever find it hard to see at night when it's raining?

[Assistant] Yes I do actually, I was almost in an accident because of rain at night once.

[User] That's so scary! I am always on edge in those cases. I hydroplaned really bad last time.

[Assistant] I'm glad you were okay and nothing bad happened.

[User] Thank you. I've never been in a traffic accident. Thank goodness for that.


[System] grateful: I was eating at a restaurant.  As I was leaving, one of the employees rushed over to me and gave me my phone I left there.

[Assistant] I was eating at a restaurant and as I was leaving, an employee there gave me my phone which I had left behind

[Assistant] Oh that was so nice of them! I bet you were relieved!

[Assistant] I was, it saved me a lot of problems

[Assistant] I bet, losing your phone causes all kinds of stress!


[System] prepared: I written down my notes on a double sided A4 paper now I just have to wait for the exam in the next 5 minutes.

[Assistant] Very nice man. Let me know your exam results when they're released!


[System] jealous: It was that time of the year when work performance evaluations were being had.  A newer employee received a promotion over me.

[Assistant] An employee who had not been working as long as me received a promotion

[User] Oh no! I'll bet that made you feel terrible!

[Assistant] I definitely did not feel appreciated

[User] I can see why not! I'm so sorry that happened to you.


[System] embarrassed: I left the bathroom with a bit of poo in my pants once. I was in 3rd grade and so ashamed when everyone smelled it.

[User] When that happened to me, even the teacher couldn't stop herself from laughing.

[User] That is hilarious. I bet.

[User] I was so awkward and quiet in school, how about yourself?

[User] Oh my just the opposite LOL

[User] So you were outgoing and popular, huh?


[System] hopeful: My first baby is on the way. I'm going to make sure they have a great life.

[User] I can't wait to December when my first born arrives into the world. I'm going to make sure they have a great life.

[System] impressed: I had an overweight friend run a marathon

[User] I was just speaking with my buddy. He is very over wight and somehow finished a marathon last weekend. Impressive!

[User] wow yes it is

[User] I couldn't believe it. Just the day before we were crushing cheese steaks.

[User] He probably stored that up for his energy for the race

[User] I guess, I;m sure he eat again after that. He loves food. If he can do it I know I can run one.


[System] impressed: I was impressed with my friends work ethic when she stayed awake for 36 hours to study for a final exam.

[Assistant] I made it out ok, just so irritating

[User] I always wonder what goes through peoples heads when that happens.


[System] joyful: For Thanksgiving, I traveled to see my family I hadn't seen in a long time due to work.  It felt great being around them again.

[Assistant] I was busy due to work and visited my family for the first time in awhile

[Assistant] That sounds nice! DId you have fun

[Assistant] It was great, felt refreshing to be around them

[Assistant] I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, it is important to make time for family.


[System] annoyed: When my boss backtracks on what he says

[User] I get so annoyed with people who say one thing and do something else. My boss is one of those people. I wish there was just instance that I could be like this is where he annoyed me, but that isn't the case. It happens every day.

[Assistant] I'm sorry to hear you're having to deal with that

[User] Yeah, it can get annoying at times. I just stir clear of him when he is around.

[Assistant] Sounds like the best thing to do honestly


[System] anticipating: I'm really eager to get off work tonight to see my boyfriend.

[Assistant] I have an 8 hour shift in the office today but i can't wait to go home to see my boyfriend!

[User] you will survive, and you have something to look forward to

[Assistant] exactly, it's keeping me going since i'm not feeling to good today!

[User] i hope your work day goes by fast


[System] terrified: When I was 12, I got ran over by a truck.

[User] When I was 12, I got ran over by a truck. I was with my older cousin and his car messed up. Since he was my hero, I listened to everything he said, so when he told me to get the truck rolling and jump in. I listened. however, my 12 year old legs didn't make it and got trapped under the truck

[Assistant] Oh wow that is so scary.  I can't believe he asked someone so young to do that.

[User] Well, he was 17 at the time, so in his defense, he just was being a "dumb teenager". My parents never let me go with him again after that though.

[Assistant] I really hope you didn't have any lasting effects from the injury?


[System] hopeful: I didn't do too well on an assignment but i still felt like i could improve my grade for the final exam

[Assistant] I only got a B- on an assignment i worked really hard on recently, but i'm working even harder now studying to ace the exam!

[Assistant] Wow! I'm sorry to hear that. Do you think you will get an A this time?

[Assistant] I do actually!

[Assistant] Congratulations! Studying can be hard, but sometimes it's about technique rather than time spent. Are you doing anything different this time?


[System] embarrassed: I was at work and the butt of my pants tore.

[User] I was inspecting rooms yesterday when I bent down to look under a bed, I felt the back of my pants tear. The hole was the entire back of my pants.

[User] Oh no! I'm so sorry! I hate when that happens!

[User] Yes, I have a staff of 30 and I think each one saw me at some point in the day. I have Khaki's on. I had to tape and staple the hole.

[User] Ugh! That's the worst! Too bad you couldn't run home and change!

[User] That would have been nice. But home is an hour each way.


[System] afraid: A spider dropped down in from of me while driving once. I almost lost it.

[User] I had to compose myself and pull over to remove the spider. I'm so thankful that I didn't freak out and crash the car.

[Assistant] Oh that sounds so scary!

[User] It was very scary, i'm terrified of spiders. What are you afraid of?

[Assistant] I hate snakes! They are like little evil creatures.


[System] guilty: My wife has made me go on a diet. I have been cheating.

[User] So as I've gotten older over the last 10 years. I gained 30 pounds. My wife has me on a diet but every night when she goes to bed I have a bowl of ice cream.

[Assistant] Don't even tlak about diets.I miss the times i was young and could eat all i wanted

[User] yea but those times are behind us. Tonight for dinner was a Kale salad. It was gross but I've gotten a dish or rocky road with my name on it later. I do feel bad for lying to her but I need it.

[Assistant] Ugh.So boring.What wrong with being fat.At least they are all happy.

[User] I think I'm average. I'm 5'11" 190. It could be worse. I still exercise a lot. Perhaps I need to enjoy the ice cream more and try to feel less guilty.


[System] proud: I just completed my bachelors degree!

[Assistant] Did you ever attend college? I just completed my bachelor's degree and I'm feeling really good about my future!

[User] Yes, I have an Associate's in Nursing.

[User] Yes, it's been a great career.  How exciting for you to be about yours.  Congratulations!


[System] annoyed: We have recently changed over to recycled toilet paper because my wife want's to save the world. It's like sandpaper!

[User] Have you ever felt sandpaper on your bottom? Because that is what the new recycled toilet paper my wife want's us to use feels like.

[Assistant] Holy smokes! Let me guess, better for the environment?

[User] yes but in the end it's still paper and still going to the same place. I dream of the day I can enjoy Angel Soft or Charmin again.

[Assistant] You poor soul! I'm all for saving the planet, but you have to draw the line somewhere. I hope you get some relief!

[User] I'm going to have to start waiting until I go to work to use the potty.


[System] confident: I had an exam last week that determined my promotion. I knew that I would ace it.

[User] I scored a 95 on my promotion exam, I was upset that I missed one question.

[User] But that is an awesome grade!  You should be so proud!!!

[User] Thank you, I am definitely proud! When was your last exam?

[User] Oh, it's been years since I've taken an exam!  Perhaps the last one was a para-pro exam to help out in the local schools when my kids were younger - but they didn't even give me the grade - it was a pass/fail type exam (the horror of not knowing the grade though!!)


[System] impressed: On the way home yesterday I hit 155 in a VW on the Autobahn

[User] On the way from work I hit 155 in my VW on the Autobahn. I was well impressed with the car.

[User] That's it was a bucket list item and the hardest thing I have ever done but now I want to do it again.

[User] You should. When is the next one.

[User] This fall. I'm need to train more. It was a 26 mile running race, 10 mile swim and the rest on bikes. So much fun!


[System] sentimental: I was going threw storage and found a tube of things my grandfather game me

[User] Last night I was looking at my things I have in a storage locker and found a tub filled with my grandfathers things. The good memories came flooding back.

[User] Oh wow thats cool.

[User] Yes, he's been gone 10 years but I still think of him daily. It's strange how someone can make such an impact on someone for so long.

[User] Thats good you still think of him.

[User] Yes, he was my hero and still is I guess.


[System] caring: When I started massage therapy, I thought it would be strange, but  I actually just felt a sense of concern for my clients.

[Assistant] I went to a school for massage therapy, but I was worried at first that it would be strange to massage people I didn't know.

[User] Thats cool. Was it hard?

[Assistant] Some of it was. I had to learn the name, attachment point, and action of every muscle in the body. There are over 800.

[User] Wow that is a lot.


[System] annoyed: I bothers me a great deal when people show up unannounced.

[User] I think I get it from my mom. She would never open the door for uninvited guests.

[Assistant] What do you get from your mom?

[User] Being bothered by uninvited guests

[Assistant] I don't like uninvited guests either! So annoying!

[User] Some people think it's ridiculous to have a problem with that, but I adore my privacy and space.


[System] excited: My family adopted a puppy and then I had to play soccer. I couldn't wait for that game to be over

[Assistant] My first dog was a dalmatian. We adopted her and then went right to a soccer game before I even had time to play with her.

[User] I love dalmatians.

[Assistant] She was a great dog! That game felt so so long though. I had to watch her sitting with my parents while I played.

[User] How old was she.

[Assistant] 6 weeks when we got her.


[System] annoyed: I have a friend who is always complaining about something. When I was going through a hard time she got even worse to make sure she sounded like she had it harder.

[Assistant] I have a friend who is always complaining. She always has to make it sound like her life is harder than everyone else's.

[User] Well maybe it is but it could also just be she's spoiled.

[Assistant] I didn't know her when she was young, so she could be. I think she just likes to be miserable.

[User] Does she have like some other issues like mentally?

[Assistant] I wouldn't be surprised.


[System] sad: My favorite shoes wore out. They no longer make them.

[User] Have you ever put a pair of shoes on your feet that felt so sweet that made your sole happy?

[Assistant] I have a pair of fuzzy slippers that make me feel pretty cozy and happy in.

[User] yea, I had that but recently my shoes wore out and they no longer make them. I'm so sad!

[Assistant] That is the worse, you finally find a brand and fit that perfect and they discontinue making them that is the worst, happens to me all the time.

[User] Yes, I was angry and sad.

[Assistant] So did you end up finding a shoe that you could live with and that was close to the ones you had, or have you been unsuccessful?

[User] nope, I gave up on shoes all together.


[System] embarrassed: I was on lunch and my coworker made me laugh. I pee'ed my self.

[User] I was on lunch and my coworker made me laugh. I pee'ed my self. I felt like I wanted to die.

[User] Wow, did they notice?

[User] yep, to make it worse I'm the boss. I'm pregnant so I tried to pass it off like the baby was pressing on my bladder.

[User] They will forget about it soon.

[User] The next day someone had put a diaper in my desk.


[System] apprehensive: a friend/customer cheated me out of a large sum of money. she works at the corner grocery where I shop often. I became very uneasy when I had to shop there.

[User] Becasue of a certain person who worked at the corner grocery I became uneasy to shop there.

[Assistant] I am so sorry to hear that. What did they do to make you feel uncomfortable going there?

[User] They were a friend and customer of mine in a small business and cheated me out of a large sum of money.

[Assistant] That's the worst! You think you can trust people, and then they stab you in the back. I don't blame you for not wanting to see them again.


[System] joyful: I just found out my new insurance if going to cover my big dental surgery coming up.

[User] I just found out my new insurance is going to cover my big dental surgery coming up. No more bad jibbers!

[Assistant] That is great. That should be good insurance. Are you generaly happy with it?

[Assistant] That is nice. Good luck with the sugery.

[User] Yes me two. I used to live in Colorado. I have not been up a mountain that big in years, I'm getting the belly butterfly's.

[User] I wish I could live there.

[User] It was a great place to live but very expensive and winter was rough.


[System] ashamed: I was on date last weekend and got bad gas.

[User] Last weekend I was on a date with a wonderful guy but right after dinner I got bad gas.

[User] Did you fart?

[User] It sounded like trumpets were filling the room. He looked like he wanted to puke each and ever time.

[User] Did they smell?

[User] Have you ever drove past a cow farm or garage dump? Yes, well those smell better then I did that night.


[System] apprehensive: We need a new roof and it seems like so many roofers have good and bad reviews. Trying to find one we can trust has been hard.

[Assistant] We had a hail storm about a month ago. It ruined our roof so we are trying to find a good roofing company to replace it.

[User] Did anyone get hurt?

[Assistant] No, thank goodness. Just a lot of car and property damage in the area.

[User] Thats good, as long as no one got hurt.


[System] impressed: My husband just ran a Marathon. He had no training I was blown away by him.

[User] No training at all!  Wow, that's pretty impressive.  How far is a marathon?

[User] 26.2 miles. He walks about 10 miles a day at work so that's some training sorta.

[User] I don't like saying this, and this is the first time I have but a few days ago I drove by my ex-wife and mine house, and for a few seconds it made me nostalgic.

[User] Wow you are brave.

[User] Yes, it was only a fleeting moment but it was there.

[User] I bet you drove fast.


[System] terrified: I'm going skydiving this weekend.

[User] I'm going skydiving this weekend. I'm afraid of heights and freaking out a little.

[User] Oh my! That sounds exciting for sure! I couldn't do it, I don't think.

[User] Yea, until this morning when I called and put down a deposit I did not think I could either.

[User] Have you ever done anything else so frightening?

[User] Yes, I love doing something crazy and the feeling I get from it.

[User] I would say that you're an adventurous person. Me, I'm more laid back and mellow. Kudos to you and have fun!

[User] That's i'm so scared but it will be worth it. You only have one life so don't hold back.


[System] apprehensive: I was pretty unsure of myself when learning to ride a bike at 15

[User] Can you believe that I learned to ride a bike at age 15?

[User] At least you did it. Lance Armstrong did not learn until he was 13.

[User] Really? I didn't know that. Is there anything that you'd say you were a late bloomer for?

[User] Love, it took me 12 years with the same person to build up the courage to ask her to marry me.

[User] Well congratulations for taking your time, look at it that way.

[User] yes not if I can just calm the nerves for this skydiving trip.

[User] Maybe try controlled breathing exercises, I'm sure you'll be fine and want to do it again.

[User] Hope so. I don't do well with heights.


[System] prepared: I had a huge exam that was coming up, and I study for weeks for it

[User] I had a huge exam that like 25 percent of my grade. I study for 2 weeks for it

[Assistant] Oh, I bet that was very stressful and difficult. I hope you did well on it?

[User] Yeah because the professor got mad that the book store didn't have the little blue books to write in, so he canceled it and said whatever our current grade was to bump it up a letter grade

[Assistant] Well, at least you didn't go down in your grade. But, it wasn't right to treat the students like that!


[System] content: As i get older I've fully accepted who I am. I'm not here to impress.

[User] As i get older I've fully accepted who I am. I'm not here to impress. It makes life easier when you think like this.

[User] 33 so not super old or super young. Just happy with who I am.

[User] I am 31 so same generation.

[User] Have you stopped caring yet? About others opinions?
