[System] apprehensive: Going out today to learn a new route for my job and hoping I don't get lost.

[User] Going out today to learn a new route for my job and I'm hoping that I don't get lost.

[Assistant] Are you able to learn the route first before you have to take it for your job or are they kind of just throwing you into it?

[User] I got the assignment yesterday, and I told myself that I'd go drive around it today and tomorrow.  My boss is supposed to ride along with me the first week, and then after that I'll be on my own.

[Assistant] Well hopefully you're able to familiarize yourself quickly. Good luck!


[System] devastated: I was so upset when I heard my Grandma had passed. I was overseas and didn't know about it as nobody could contact me.

[Assistant] I was over here in the US when my Grandma passed in Scotland. I was so upset - nobody could get hold of me to tell me and her funeral was over before I knew about it.

[Assistant] Thats sad. Have you been to Scotand since?

[Assistant] Only for funerals, unfortunately. Both my parents have since died. Unpleasant fact of life, I'm afraid.

[Assistant] Im sorry to hear that. Were you born there?

[Assistant] Yes I was. I didn't come to the US until I was in my 30s. Didn't expect my Grandma to pass the minute I got here, but she was 96, so it shouldn't have been such a surprise!

[Assistant] 96! Wow. Thats a full life!

[Assistant] She was as fit as a flea too. She tripped and broke her hip and got a bad infection in the hospital. That's what she died of!

[Assistant] Wow. She probably couldve kept going for years if it wasnt for that.


[System] excited: I recently purchased an Xbox! I've never owned a gaming console

[User] I just bought an Xbox! I've never owned a gaming console before

[User] Excellent! Are you enjoying it?

[User] I am! I bought Halo and am ready to ride.

[User] Sick. I hope it's as fun as it looks!


[System] grateful: My mother lives in the same neighborhood as I do and I am so happy she lives close. My father passed away about 2 years ago and I'm so thankful she's still here with us.

[Assistant] My father passed away 2 years ago, but my mother lives in my neighborhood now. I'm so thankful she lives close by and still here with us. She's such a wonderful mother.

[Assistant] I am glad that she is living close to you. That must make you feel special. My mom is dead so I understand how you feel.

[Assistant] I'm sorry to hear that, I know it's so hard to lose a parent. I think we take them for granted when we are younger, but I am blessed she's still here.

[Assistant] I am happy that your mom is still around. Cherish the days that you spend together.


[System] content: My upstairs neighbors are away for the weekend and I am as happy as a clam. No thumping, screeching, playing loud video games. Heaven!

[Assistant] I am as happy as a clam right now. My neighbors are away for the weekend!

[User] are they typically bad or something?

[Assistant] The live upstairs and constantly thump around, screeching into their cellphones. And then there's the video games...

[User] Oh that makes sense, well enjoy the peace and quiet!

[Assistant] Oh I am, believe me I am. The world seems like a calm, serene place where everything is just right!


[System] surprised: My good friend came over last night! It was shocking since he lives hours away

[User] My friend from across the continent came over yesterday! I was so happy about it

[User] Thats awesome. What did you guys do?

[User] We ended up hanging out and recording some audio. He is a voice actor

[User] that sounds fun!


[System] caring: While out walking in a Boston suburb, we heard some animal cries. It turned out to be a baby kitten (very young) in a window well, with not identifying information. We took it home and adopted it.

[Assistant] I was out for a walk one night in a suburb of Boston when we heard the cries of a young animal. It was a baby kitten, with no collar, in a window well.

[Assistant] Poor thing! What did you do?   Did you take it home with you?

[Assistant] We actually did, and ended up adopting him. He was still so young he needed formula, but now he is thriving!

[Assistant] eww,  that is great you took such great care of him.


[System] caring: When a baby bird was alone

[Assistant] I felt a need to help when the baby bird was by itself

[Assistant] That 's nice of you.  Did you keep it as a pet

[Assistant] I did not, I was little but I think I put it back into a tree

[Assistant] Cool.  Some birds shouldn't be in captivity.  What kind of bird was it


[System] anxious: Waiting for my results

[Assistant] Waiting to see if I would graduate was pretty unnerving

[Assistant] That is a nerve-racking experience. But I'm betting you did graduate and did just fine!

[Assistant] Yep, had to take a class online over the summer but it worked out

[Assistant] Congratulations! Waiting for results can be very stressful - everything's out of your hands and all you can do is wait.


[System] embarrassed: I forgot my mother-in-laws birthday this year and can't look her in the eye! My husband was working away from home and forgot to remind me.

[Assistant] I forgot my mother-in-law's birthday this year and can't look her in the eye!

[Assistant] I'm sure she understands, just tell the truth!

[Assistant] I just feel so embarrassed - she never forgets my birthday. And my husband was away and didn't remind me :(

[Assistant] Yeah, I'd be pretty scared too, but it's better to be upfront about it to get it off your chest

[Assistant] You're right. She's a very forgiving person and I've never forgotten before. It's on St. Paddy's day for heavens sake - how could I forget???


[System] embarrassed: Wearing pajamas to a party

[Assistant] I was the only one wearing pajamas at this party, not my greatest moment

[Assistant] Oh boy. Did you not get the memo that you were supposed to be wearing a dress?

[Assistant] I thought that it was a pajama party haha, never worn a dress before, maybe that's the secret

[Assistant] Everyone looks good in a dress. Just make sure to shave first.


[System] terrified: Having nightmares when I was little was scary

[Assistant] I had some trippy nightmares as a kid, now I don't really have dreams

[User] Oh man, I did too.  I still do every once in a while but only when I'm having trouble sleeping.  Does one stand out from the rest that you remember vividly?

[Assistant] Yeah, it was like I was tied to a chair and a huge thing was staring at me, pretty weird

[User] Creepy! I once had a dream of a Lion laying at the end of my bad. It was scary but also comforting.  I feel like I could've touched it. Glad you're free of those dreams now.


[System] guilty: When I stole from a store I felt bad

[Assistant] I didn't realize that stealing was bad until I realized how it made me feel afterwards

[Assistant] So you probably felt pretty guilty huh. Did you return what you stole?

[Assistant] No, I was scared to get charged, but I stopped after that

[Assistant] Glad to hear you stopped with your wayward habits before the Po Po caught up with you!


[System] joyful: At a meditation retreat I felt better than ever

[Assistant] I was at a meditation retreat last year for 10 days and I can say that I experienced a better feeling there than I could ever remembe

[User] I've always liked the idea of meditation, but I feel like it'd be hard. My mind is always racing!

[Assistant] Yeah, thankfully there's an app for that - Headspace (no I am not sponsored)

[User] Awesome, I'll check that out! I hear all sorts of great things about meditation.


[System] anticipating: I was really looking forward to our family vacation to California this year. I love spending the holidays in new places.

[Assistant] I am really looking forward to going away for the holidays.

[Assistant] Me too, do you have any special plans?

[Assistant] I want to go see the Harry Potter land at Universal, the kids will love it.

[Assistant] How fun! yes I am sure they will have  a great time!

[Assistant] They love the films, plus getting to ride Hogwarts Express, score!


[System] confident: I am pretty certain that I am going to be matched with my first choice school of law. I did really well on the LSAT.

[Assistant] I'm really hoping my acceptance letter shows up in the mail soon.

[Assistant] Is it for college?

[Assistant] Law School, I'm pretty sure I got in to my first choice, but you never know.

[Assistant] Well good luck, I hope you get in!

[Assistant] Thank you, fingers are crossed.


[System] anticipating: I just ordered a new cookery book and I can't wait for it to arrive. I love to cook and will really enjoy trying out the recipes.

[User] I love cooking! What types of things do you like to cook?

[Assistant] I'm vegetarian and cook all sorts of different cuisines - Indian, Italian, American. The only cuisine I'm not good at is Chinese. How about you?

[User] I am also a vegetarian and I love cooking Italian food.

[Assistant] Have you heard of Mark Bittman's book How to Cook Everything Vegetarian? That's the book I'm waiting impatiently for!


[System] impressed: Someone did the bottle flip onto a little ledge at my school

[Assistant] I witnessed the most epic bottle flip in the history of bottle flips at my school

[Assistant] Those are so much fun. Was everyone hype?

[Assistant] Yee yee, it landed on this little ledge that was super high up.

[Assistant] Tight. Probably wont be able to do that again!


[System] grateful: My little grandson just came home from the hospital. He was born several week premature and weighed under 2 pounds but now he is doing well and we are so thankful everything is ok.

[Assistant] My little grandson just came home from the hospital. He was born premature and weighted under 2 pounds.

[Assistant] Oh my gosh, so tiny. I'm hoping since he was released from the hospital he is doing well now?

[Assistant] He is doing well, thank you. And we are so thankful everything is ok. It was touch and go for awhile

[Assistant] I can imagine. I'm glad to hear he's better! Life is such a gift.


[System] faithful: I'm in love with my girlfriend. I would never cheat on her

[User] I love my girlfriend. She would never cheat on me

[Assistant] That is really nice that you guys have that trust.

[User] I hope to make her my wife some day!

[Assistant] That is an awesome goal! Good luck!


[System] annoyed: My sister spilled milk on me. I hated it

[User] My sister spilled some milk on me. It set me off!

[User] I hope it didn't mess up your clothes. I'm sure it was a mistake.

[User] It was indeed a mistake. My clothes are fine now.

[User] I'm glad it didn't mess anything up and that your relationship with your sister is still in tact.


[System] apprehensive: I wasn't able to pay rent recently. I had a messed up home.

[User] I recently did not pay my rent. My land lord has been terrible at providing services

[User] Oh no. I rent also so I know your pain. My last landlord was awful.  How did your landlord react?

[User] He decided to start caring and doing his part.

[User] Oh good, glad he did that instead of just coming down on your for not paying.  Glad it worked out for you.


[System] grateful: I feel thankful for my vehicle

[Assistant] I'm thankful that I was able to repair my tire before it went flat on my car

[Assistant] Lucky you did that in time!

[Assistant] Right, I caught it just as it happened and brought it to the shop, didn't cost as much as I thought it would either.

[Assistant] Sounds like it worked out great for you!


[System] trusting: My friend is a beautiful person. She drove me to class

[User] I love my friend. She just drove me to class

[Assistant] Wow! You should do something back for her!

[User] I think I am getting her a gift soon!

[Assistant] Nice, I am jealous of your friendship!


[System] ashamed: I stole from my friends when I was young. I feel terrible

[User] I stole from my friends when I was a child. I feel terrible about it now

[Assistant] Was it something important that you took ?

[User] It was some Pokemon cards!

[Assistant] I see, did they ever find out it was you ?


[System] devastated: My father almost died last year. The whole experience was very, very tough

[User] My father almost passed away last year. It was very tough on everyone

[User] That is awful, I am sorry to hear that.  Is he doing better now?

[User] Yes, he has made a full recovery! It's been a journey

[User] I'm so glad he is better.  Is the whole family doing alright?  I know that can be really hard on people.


[System] sentimental: I remember when I was young. I used to love life

[User] I remember when I was a young one. I loved life.

[Assistant] Life was easier back then, Hopefully you still love life?

[User] I do, but maybe not with he same flare as before

[Assistant] Nostalgia can stir emotions. You'll find something to love about life again.


[System] caring: I helped my friend find her lost cats. We found both of them

[User] I helped find my friend's cats. She's glad they're back now

[Assistant] Oh, no!  What happened?  Did she just get loose?

[User] Yes they both just wandered off when the door was open!

[Assistant] Thankfully, they are both okay.  Dogs or cars, or anything for that matter could get them!


[System] content: I just got an A on my paper. It feels slick

[User] 5

[Assistant] What?

[User] I recently got an A on my paper. I feel great.

[Assistant] Congrats! I bet that feels great!


[System] embarrassed: I went swimming. I then lost my trunks coming out!

[User] I went swimming recently. I lost my trunks walking out of the pool.

[Assistant] That is embarrassing. I would hate to have that happen.

[User] Yeah, we all have a good laugh about it now

[Assistant] That is the best way to handle those situations.


[System] disgusted: Drinking a gallon of milk made me sick

[Assistant] Drinking a gallon of milk in a day wasn't a good idea

[User] Ouch! I can relate. What made you decide to drink a whole gallon in a day?

[Assistant] I wanted to see how hard it would be, turns out my stomach was JUST big enough

[User] Haha! I hope you experience no seriously ill effects!


[System] jealous: My friend got with a girl I liked. It sucks

[User] My friend slept with a girl I like. I feel horrible now

[User] Sheesh that is brutal, did you smack him?

[User] No, but I don't think he is my friend any more

[User] I don't blame you, that is low.


[System] sad: When people try to control me

[Assistant] I don't like working with managers that try to micro-manage me

[Assistant] Me neither, I hate it when they just wont leave you alone

[Assistant] Right, it kind of feels like they're insecure with their abilities while trying to make me feel bad at the same time

[Assistant] Yes! I feel the same


[System] annoyed: Having a toothache is irritating

[Assistant] Teeth are weird, but also take a lot of upkeep which is sometimes irritating

[Assistant] Always try to brush your teeth at least twice a day, it helps

[Assistant] Yeah that's what my dentist says, I'll try

[Assistant] If you don't take care of your teeth then you will have a bad time later in life


[System] afraid: Sometimes I feel scared for no reason

[Assistant] I wake up with chills sometimes for no reason

[User] That is bizarre, have you had this seen about?

[Assistant] I think it's from dreams that I'm not able to recall

[User] That is odd, are you afraid when you wake up?


[System] angry: Not being able to reach my goals

[Assistant] I wasn't able to reach my goals in the gym a couple days ago, and it helped me realize where I'm slacking off in other areas

[Assistant] You sound a lot like my husband. He is really into going to the gym. Life isnt right if he doesnt get gym time.

[Assistant] Yeah, it's fun to see how much you can conquer yourself, and it's nice to be able to see how you're changing

[Assistant] I agree. Its pretty cool to see the changes. I never really got into going to the gym though.


[System] confident: I jumped out of an airplane to sky dive yesterday. I still felt in control

[User] I recently went skydiving. It was a thrilling rush

[Assistant] I have been skydiving, too! It was a fun experience.

[User] It was excellent. I feel so alive!

[Assistant] I lost my hearing for a few hours after though, but other than that it was a wonderful experience.


[System] confident: I think I will be successful. I love life

[User] I think I will have success in my life. I love life these days!

[User] That is great, did something recently happen?

[User] I recently finished a new album I have been working on!

[User] Awesome! What type of music?


[System] excited: I'm feeling happy to know that there's so many things I can be grateful for

[Assistant] I'm excited to think of all the possibilities that are available to me at the moment

[User] What possibilities do you speak of?

[Assistant] Being able to learn basically anything with the internet for one

[User] That sounds pretty exciting.


[System] surprised: Finding myself changing perspectives on a day to day basis is amazing

[Assistant] I like meditating because it puts things into perspective in a way that I don't usually expect

[User] I've never been much for meditating. I'm glad you enjoy it.

[Assistant] For sure, my mind is pretty energetic

[User] What got you into meditation?


[System] lonely: Sometimes I feel like I'm alone for no reason

[Assistant] I've been processing what being lonely feels like, because I want to be able to have fun by myself sometimes

[User] I think that's a good idea so you aren't always dependent on others to have fun and just enjoy time to yourself.

[Assistant] True, and I've felt that way before, but sometimes like a wave of those kinds of feelings hits like I'm not worthy enough and stuff like that, but it's all good

[User] Meditation on goals and positive ideas during some of that alone time can be so uplifting and refocuses you.


[System] trusting: I felt a weight off my shoulders when I just let things happen

[Assistant] I'm trying to get over my need to control things, and I find if I just let things happen it feels like a weights been pulled off my shoulders

[User] I used to struggle with the same problem, it can be overwhelming

[Assistant] Right, but things always seem to turn out for the best anyway

[User] I agree!!


[System] proud: I feel good about the progress I've made with lifting

[Assistant] I grew up pretty skinny and now that I've grown some muscle I feel a lot more comfortable in my skin

[User] Grats.  How long have you been working out for?

[Assistant] around 9 months, been pretty slow to make progress but overall it's been solid

[User] Keep your diet clean and you'll keep improving.


[System] prepared: I am going camping tomorrow. The car is already packed!

[User] I am going to go camping tomorrow! The back's already packed

[Assistant] That sounds nice. Hopefully it isn't too hot for you.

[User] I hope not. I'm in Florida so it might get bad

[Assistant] Are you going to be sleeping in a tent?


[System] sentimental: Remembering my old house makes me think about the good old days

[Assistant] My old house burned down, and I went to check it out, was surreal taking a look around the place

[Assistant] That's just so sad. House fires are terrifying to me.

[Assistant] Yeah, it was built a long time ago, some kind of electrical fire

[Assistant] The wiring was probably old and not up to code anymore.


[System] devastated: I felt like the world was over when my tire got punctured

[Assistant] I was truly surprised when I notice my tire got hit by a rock, thought I wouldn't make it to the tire place in time

[User] did it go flat?

[Assistant] It did not, got it replaced when I dropped it off, pretty lucky

[User] that is very fortunate!


[System] caring: When the cat had string stuck on it I felt the need to help

[Assistant] There was a cat who had string stuck around it so I had to help

[Assistant] That is really nice of you!  Is the cat OK now?

[Assistant] Yeah, everything turned out fine in the end

[Assistant] That's good.  If not for you, who knows what could have happened.  You must be a very caring individual.


[System] faithful: I feel a strong connection to the almighty

[Assistant] I feel like deepening my connection to God is the most important thing in my life

[User] I think that is a lovely thing

[Assistant] It's like if I don't get that sorted out I won't be able to live a fulfilling life

[User] If its important, you will figure it out


[System] anticipating: I feel anxious when I can't take a moment for myself

[Assistant] When I can't take a breather in the day I feel suffocated

[User] Yea, its a good idea to take time for yourself when you can

[Assistant] Right, it's like I can't focus or relax

[User] I think relaxing is very important


[System] jealous: When I was a kid I wanted to be popular, so I was envious of the popular kids

[Assistant] When I was in elementary school I was envious of the kids who were popular!

[User] Yeah as a child it's hard to see other kids with a bunch of friends when you don't have that many.

[Assistant] Yeah, I just had trouble socializing is all

[User] Well, I hope you got over that issue and ended up making lots of friends yourself.


[System] confident: I feel very self assured after challenging my comfort zone

[Assistant] When I do things that are challenging I feel more self-reliant. I recently tried taking an ice bath

[User] Oh man! thats impressive, those baths are rough.

[Assistant] Yeah, my bath wasn't deep enough, so I didn't get covered all the way!

[User] That's good. But still! You must be pretty tough!


[System] prepared: I'm always doing things to take care of the future

[Assistant] I'm eating a lot of food to make sure I can lift more weight in the gym next time!

[Assistant] Are you taking protein?

[Assistant] I'm taking everything, honey, raw garlic, yogurt, EVERYTHING!

[Assistant] That is good, hopefully it helps!


[System] furious: I feel mad when marketers try to con me

[Assistant] I don't like scammy sales people, nothing good comes from it

[Assistant] I agree, were you recently screwed by one?

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like they live to manipulate people for money

[Assistant] Yep its disgusting


[System] embarrassed: I went out to lunch with my kids the other day. My daughter needed help opening her dipping sauce. Nothing like it squirting all over me from the waste up!

[Assistant] I went to lunch the other day with my kids. My daughter needed help opening her dipping sauce and of course I did....

[User] That is sweet of you, kids are cute

[Assistant] They are but when I finally got it open it sprayed me from my waste all the way to my hair!

[User] Oh that is not good, I hope you were able to clean it up easily...


[System] nostalgic: I love listening to old music, brings back memories

[Assistant] Listening to old artists like they Might Be Giants is my jam

[User] Wow I haven't thought of them in years.  Sometimes it is good to have bands you can always go back to

[Assistant] Haha, I didn't grow up with them but it's like discovering a gold mine that no one else seems to listen to

[User] True.  I have favorite bands to that I consider to be musical comfort food


[System] hopeful: I felt like the future was looking bright when I got my lisence

[Assistant] Getting my driver's license was a freeing experience

[Assistant] Nice! Are you getting a car soon too?

[Assistant] Yeah, that was a while ago, cars are great in a lot of situationsz!

[Assistant] Definitely, especially when you get really hungry at night. I love a good drive thru


[System] devastated: Someone stole my credit card information. They have been charging up my card like crazy. I'm scared about my identity.

[Assistant] I've had the worst week, someone stole my credit card information.

[Assistant] That is awful. I've had it happen to me once before.

[Assistant] Yes it's been hell, they charged over 15 thousand dollars on it. I hope my identity is fine besides the card.

[Assistant] I sure hope so, too! It is a lot of work to get it sorted out.


[System] disappointed: When I found out my job wasn't cracked up to what I thought it was

[Assistant] I was pretty disillusioned when I found out door to door sales wasn't a fun time

[Assistant] Yeah... that seems like a hard gig, especially in today's day and age, where everyone's so wary, and especially since there's not often people at home during the day. You have to have good people skills to do that job, though. So, you at least probably have that going for you.

[Assistant] I realized that it was unethical in the end!

[Assistant] Ah.. yeah, I'm sorry you had to run into that kind of problem. It's hard doing a job you don't agree with the ethics of. There's really no way to fake it sometimes. But at least you were able to realize that and stand by your morals.


[System] jealous: Ugh, I'm so annoyed. My husband went out with his friends again, the third time this week. I'm exhausted watching my daughter alone all the time.

[Assistant] Ugh, I'm so annoyed! My husband went out again with his friends, third time this week.

[User] Is he going out drinking?

[Assistant] Yes, I'm exhausted. My daughter is teething so she hasn't been sleeping well.

[User] That is such a tough time, my son is teething as well


[System] disgusted: I felt very nasty knowing that people are taken advantage of by fake religious groups

[Assistant] Seeing people taken advantage of by fake religious services is something I find the most vile. It makes them believe that they're doing the right thing, but the person taking advantage of them knows what's really up. What do you know about that?

[User] Well I am not a religious person but I will have to say it urks me when I am surronded my religious people that is trying to push their belief on me. Then seeing them feel people heads with stuff that they can not prove is there irritates me also

[Assistant] Exactly, I feel that getting people to believe irrational things is the same as giving them a brain virus, it'll slowly erode their ability to think rationally.

[User] Lol. exactly how I feel


[System] confident: I have a presentation for work on monday, about our hiring policys and how to retain more people. I know I have this! I have been preparing all weekend.

[Assistant] I have a presentation for work on Monday, I'm a little nervous.

[Assistant] Oh, thats not unusual. You must try to relax. Is it an important presentation?

[Assistant] Kind of, but I have prepared a lot so I'm sure it'll go good! I work in the human resource department for a big company and we are trying to find new ways to retain good employes.

[Assistant] I see, I hope it goes well for you. Remember to breathe!


[System] anxious: When I left my key in my car for the mechanic I was left wondering

[Assistant] I had to leave my key in my car for the mechanic and I was left wondering if someone might find it

[Assistant] That is a scary situation. People do not care anymore.

[Assistant] Right, there's too many people to say that it wouldn't happen

[Assistant] You are so right!


[System] anticipating: This week is the last week for this semester of my college courses. I can't stand having to wait to see the final grades!

[Assistant] This week was the last one for this semester of my college courses

[User] That is awesome, what degree are you working towards?

[Assistant] Healthcare administration, only 6 months left! I get so antsy waiting to see the final grades, it drives me crazy

[User] I can imagine, waiting sucks!


[System] terrified: Getting woken up in the middle of the night was scary as heck

[Assistant] I got woken up by my roommate and I swear his voice is the last thing you want to hear in the middle of the night, sent the fear of God through my veins

[Assistant] That's kind of odd. I probably would have tried to take a swing just out of pure instinct. What was the reason they wanted to wake you up?

[Assistant] I don't know, I didn't answer, pretended I was asleep

[Assistant] Hahaha.. that's kind of goofy in a way. Yeah, sometimes nothing good can come of people trying to get your attention randomly in the middle of the night. That's probably the wisest choice. I probably wouldn't be able to act that good enough to pull it off.


[System] ashamed: When I almost got caught stealing I felt bad

[Assistant] I almost got caught stealing, I felt pretty bad

[Assistant] Ouch!  What did you take?

[Assistant] A computer keyboard from my school

[Assistant] Was it an awesome keyboard worth getting in trouble for?


[System] prepared: I am 38 weeks pregnant, could have my baby any day now. I'm nervous but know I'm ready and have everything we need.

[Assistant] I'm 38 weeks pregnant, could have my baby any day now!

[User] Congrats! Thats so exciting do You fel ok?

[Assistant] Yes, a bit nervous because my first birth was hard, but I know I'm ready and have everything we need for the baby!

[User] YAY! good job! He/she is going to be beautiful


[System] joyful: I felt overcome with emotions when Christmas came around as a kid

[Assistant] Christmas was the best time of year back in the day!

[User] I still think it is, i always get so excited

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like there's nothing to worry about

[User] yep thats one of the things that make it so nice


[System] afraid: I was scared when this random guy walked into my room

[Assistant] Some random dude walked into my room while I was laying down, couldn't have been more weird

[User] Oh wow that is weird. Did you say anything to him?

[Assistant] I was like what the hell, and then he said sorry and walked out

[User] Yeesh, how awkward is that.


[System] furious: Someone hit my car at Walmart and drove off! I'm so annoyed they didn't have the decency to leave a note or something.

[Assistant] Someone hit my car at walmart today and drove off!

[Assistant] Were you able to take the plate id?

[Assistant] No, I didn't see it someone reported it to customer service and they paged me. I wish they would have left a note! People have so decency sometimes!

[Assistant] I understand. Sorry to hear about that.


[System] nostalgic: I saw my favourite candy at the store today, reminded me of my childhood eating them after school.

[Assistant] I saw my favourite candy at the store today! Was so excited, hadn't seen it in a while.

[User] Oh nice. What kind of candy was it?

[Assistant] This sour s'ghetti candy by HARIBRO. I use to eat this all the time as a child.

[User] Oh yeah I think I have tried that one! I love anything by Haribro!


[System] hopeful: My daughter has been sick, but it looks like she is finally getting better. She had a bad bacterial infection from daycare.

[Assistant] My daughter has been sick for months but she is finally starting to get better!

[Assistant] Glad to hear it. I hate hearing about children having tragic childhoods and not being able to just simply be a kid. But at least she'll have a good perspective and appreciate life more.

[Assistant] Thank you, Defenitly! She is still young and most likely won't remember this either!

[Assistant] Even if she does, it will help make her a well-rounded, relatable person. Usually these things help ground kids and give them character. But maybe you're right, if she moves on from it quickly, that's great too!


[System] impressed: I was totally surprised when I saw my friend's Minecraft world

[Assistant] My friend showed me his Minecraft world and it was amazing! Looked like he spent days on it

[Assistant] I had to cancel our family vacation coming up next month.

[User] I am really sorry to hear that.  I hope everything is alright.

[Assistant] Yes, his work told him he couldn't go after they already approved the time off. Guess next month is going to be busy at his work :(

[User] Well, that is just terrible.  I hate it when companies jerk you around like that.  I hope you will be able to reschedule it, although I know that wouldn't make up for the frustration.


[System] grateful: I'm glad that life is being good to me

[Assistant] Life is good, it's the gift that keeps on giving

[User] that is a great way to look at it

[Assistant] Glad you think so as well!

[Assistant] I remember going to see the fireworks with my best friend. It was the first time we ever spent time alone together. Although there was a lot of people, we felt like the only people in the world.

[User] Was this a friend you were in love with, or just a best friend?

[Assistant] This was a best friend. I miss her.

[System] proud: I showed a guy how to run a good bead in welding class and he caught on quick.

[Assistant] Hi how are you doing today

[User] doing good.. how about you

[Assistant] Im good, trying to understand how someone can feel like hitting a blank wall when they see the darkness

[User] it's quite strange that you didnt imagine it

[Assistant] i dont imagine feeling a lot, maybe your on to something


[System] faithful: I have always been loyal to my wife.

[User] I have never cheated on my wife.

[Assistant] And thats something you should never do, good on you.

[User] Yea it hasn't been easy but I am proud I haven't

[Assistant] What do you mean it hasn't been easy? How close have you come to cheating?


[System] terrified: A recent job interview that I had made me feel very anxious because I felt like I didn't come prepared.

[Assistant] Job interviews always make me sweat bullets, makes me uncomfortable in general to be looked at under a microscope like that.

[User] Don't be nervous. Just be prepared.

[Assistant] I feel like getting prepared and then having a curve ball thrown at you throws you off.

[User] Yes but if you stay calm it will be ok.

[Assistant] It's hard to stay clam. How do you do it?

[User] I am sorry to hear that. I hope it turned out to be a blessing in decise.


[System] sad: One year during christmas, i did not get a single gift. It was a rough day for me.

[Assistant] During christmas a few years ago, I did not get any presents.

[User] Wow, that must be terrible, I cannot imagine, I lvoe christmas

[Assistant] Since that day christmas has not been a good time for me. As I have no family, christmas is always the worst.

[User] Wow, I am sorry to hear that, I wish I could make it a better holiday for you!

[Assistant] Some days are just days that you never forget. I wish you could as well.


[System] jealous: I was at work, and my coworker was called into my bosses office. Then they were allowed to work remotely every monday. this made me jealous because I enjoy working from home

[User] My coworker is allowed to work remotely, but I am not...

[Assistant] I work remotely, I wish that you could do something like that as well.

[User] I do too, it is unfortnuate because, unbiased, I am our best performer, so it is curious

[Assistant] Sometimes in life, it is not about performance. Some people just get a shiner spoon.


[System] terrified: I was home alone. I heard a loud noise come from the kitchen.

[Assistant] The other night I was alone and heard a nose coming from the kitchen... it was creepy.


[System] grateful: I went to a park and I set on a bench. I didn't notice that my wallet felt. A man came to me from behind giving me back my wallet.

[Assistant] Their aren't that many well rounded people in the world these days so when you see one you should always show appreciation!


[System] sad: I got recently got three rejection letters for 3 different jobs in a matter of a week and a half. That was a painful experience.

[Assistant] People get rejected all the time but it shouldn't be an excuse to let it dissuade you from reaching your goals.

[Assistant] What happened?

[Assistant] Got rejected from a place I wanted to work, not once but three times

[Assistant] I am sorry to hear that. I hope you find a better opportunity. Did you know why they rejected you?

[Assistant] Thanks, they gave me the same generic lines you always hear.


[System] prepared: I had my entire house boarded up when the hurricane came.

[User] I had to board my entire house when the hurricane was coming.

[User] WOW! Did it do any damage?

[User] No luckily the house was ok.

[User] That is great. I would have been scared to death. Was it recent?


[System] embarrassed: one time when I was in preschool, I had to write on the board. when I got up, my pants fell down in front of the class, that embarassed me

[User] Once when I was in preschool, my pants fell down in front of the whole class, I was so embarassed

[User] haha yeah that would be very bad !

[User] Oh no , sorry to hear that happened to you :(


[System] angry: I am so upset and mad. I cant believe what has happened!

[Assistant] Oh that does sound terrible. What did you guys decide to do?

[User] Well we ended up leaving I was too scared to stay and was really upset.


[System] afraid: Last year a tree fell on my house while my family was at home. The tree broke through the ceiling just a few feet away from my daughter. The experience was terrifying.

[Assistant] What a difference a year makes. Last year one evening my family was at home when a tree fell on the house and broke through the ceiling.

[User] That's very scary. I hope no one got hurt.

[Assistant] We were OK, though the tree broke through only a few feet away from my daughter.

[User] So happy everyone was fine!! Everything else can be fixed.

[Assistant] Indeed. We were out of the house for five months while repairs were being done, but now the house is better than ever.

[User] So good to hear. Might want to trim some trees lol


[System] excited: Last week, I was watching the world cup, and watched croatia win from russia

[User] So last week we were watching the world cup, and lo and behold, Croatia beat the host country, Russia

[Assistant] I saw that game. They won on penalty kicks!

[User] Yes! Both countries were not about to let each other win

[Assistant] It was very tense. The other game with England and Sweden was not nearly as nerve-wracking.

[User] You're right. I prefer nerve-wrecking matches. When both teams are great, the tension really builds.


[System] annoyed: I have someone always asking me questions about how to use mobile.

[Assistant] Hi, I have a co work always asking me questions about how to use her mobile. It is almost always the same questions.

[Assistant] It must be so frustrating to have to answer the same thing over and over. Is she older?

[Assistant] Yes, she is. She is telling that all the cell phone that she has been using have deleting her contacts.

[Assistant] My aunt does the same thing! I think what she is doing is accidentally deleting texts, and she doesn't understand how to check her contacts list. What do you think is happening with your co-worker?


[System] angry: I spent all weekend working on my truck to fix a miss in the engine. Despite spending over $200 in parts, it didn't do a thing to fix the miss.

[Assistant] I worked on my truck all weekend. Spent $215 on parts and a special tool. Still did not fix the miss in the engine.

[Assistant] What is the problem with the engine?

[Assistant] It has a miss. Sometimes when you are driving it sputters and jerks and barely has any power. Other times it drives just fine. I have replaced so many things on it and nothing makes a difference for very long.

[Assistant] Sorry to hear that. I hope you find what is the problem with the engine.


[System] lonely: A few years ago, my marriage broke up, and I found myself living alone for the first time in my life. Though I eventually grew accustomed to the solitude, it took a while to get used to it.

[Assistant] I found myself divorced a few years ago, and for the first time in my life, I was living alone.

[User] I felt sad and depressed due to my insecurities and felt rejected from society

[Assistant] Yes, I felt that way for a while. But then I grew used to the solitude.

[User] The problem is I don't think you can grew out of my specific insecurity.


[System] proud: I felt proud when I had accomplished a dream that I wanted to do for a long time.

[User] I felt proud when I had accomplished a dream that I wanted to do for a long time. It was absailing!!

[Assistant] I'm not familiar with abseiling, but I'm glad that you felt good about it.

[User] absailing, its when you rappeling down a building. What have you down that amazing?

[Assistant] Oh, I see. No, I've never done that.

[User] so what have you done?


[System] sentimental: When I spend time with my father outside by the fire when we are camping.

[Assistant] Hello

[User] Hello! I am in such a good mood since I got my new home.

[Assistant] Funny - we just built a house where we used to go camping when I was a kid.

[User] I have a ton of backyard space that we have plans for. Camping would be a fun one.

[Assistant] That's wonderful. Do you have any plans to have a fire?

[User] I want to look in to getting a nice fire pit for the house.


[System] joyful: I was so happy when I moved in to my new home. My girlfriend and I have been saving for awhile and we finally got the keys last month. Now we can finally move on with our life plans.

[User] Planning out my new home has turned out to be a blast!

[User] I just moved in so it is already built. Just working on planning out decorating and appliances and such.

[Assistant] That sounds great. What are you most excited for?

[User] I think I am most excited for all the space I have. I can have friends over and not feel cramped.


[System] ashamed: I went to a party and it was real bad.

[Assistant] I never took a drink before and my friends were all over me to take a drink

[User] Why did you feel guilty for taking a drink?

[Assistant] It was not my thing and the moment I took I did wrong. Later in the night I started feeling bad.

[User] I can understand. I am not a big drinker myself, but I wouldn't feel guilty about it.  Not unless you promised someone you wouldn't drink.

[Assistant] Yeah I did to my mum and dad...When I started vomiting I mess my dress and mum knew.

[User] Oh yea I can understand that then... Well I am sure you learned your lesson, right?

[Assistant] Yeah bad...anyway bye...Thanks for the chat.


[System] guilty: After learning my husband of only 4 weeks was cheating on me I did the same to him. Not only was it before our marriage but I had found texts of him contacting her for sex after. To make it worse I slept with a close family friend of his.

[User] I was only married for 4 weeks when I learned my husband was having an affair and ongoing after the wedding. I got him back by sleeping with a close family friend. I felt guilty and ashamed because it was out of character.

[Assistant] Yeah that sounds really sad. I am sorry for what you went through.

[User] Well I choose to stay and work it out, but I never told him. It has been 3 years.

[Assistant] Yeah maybe that was a good decision that you made.

[User] Well I thought I would be feel better but because I am not the cheating kind, I still feel guilty.


[System] surprised: when I was younger, my parents picked me up from work with a new car, which really surprised me, I was so excited to have my own car!

[User] When I was working my first job, my parents picked me up in my new car, I was very surprised, i thought I was gonna have to buy my own car

[User] Yeah it really was, I am still very thankful of them

[Assistant] I had to buy my first car and it wasn't until I was 21 that I could afford it.


[System] nostalgic: I get wistful remembering my high school days.

[Assistant] I'm nearing 40 and I find myself thinking a lot about my teen years and early twenties. The friends I had then and the fun we had.

[User] That is where I am still at, I am scared I will have regrets when I get older

[Assistant] I don'

[User] That is good, I am glad you have no regrets!


[System] confident: Last year I placed an article in an academic journal. This was the first time in a while that I had been able to do this, and it made me feel better about myself.

[Assistant] A year ago I spent a lot of time doing research for an article. Then a top journal accepted it for publication.

[User] what was the topic

[Assistant] It was about the medieval poet Geoffrey Chaucer.

[User] I'm not familiar with him where is he from

[Assistant] He was an English poet in the fourteenth century,

[User] and how did you learn about him


[System] annoyed: I get irritated with a coworker that gets on my nerves all the time by coming and bothering me smelling like smoke and trying to chat itu p

[User] Do you have any irritating coworkers?

[Assistant] Yes, I think that everyone does! What about you?

[User] yes a few that drive me nuts. the janitor is the worst

[Assistant] That's too bad. Our janitor is very friendly.

[User] she comes in my office smelling like smoke trying to chat it up rather than do her job.


[System] guilty: I broke a statuette offered by grandmother to my sister.

[Assistant] Hi, I broke a statuette offered by grandmother to my sister. It was a very important object for my sister.

[Assistant] Is it not better you replace it with same type of statuette,at a grocery store?

[Assistant] No, it is not possible. It is old statuette given by the mother of my grandmother.

[Assistant] The mother of your grand mother ,that means your great grand mother ! Well you can search through her archives


[System] furious: I ordered for French fries ,bit was served burger,that pissed me off!

[Assistant] I could not tolerate the waiters insensitivity,that's poor service indeed!

[Assistant] What happened?

[Assistant] Imagine ,I requested a French fries ,but was served burger instead!

[Assistant] It is very bad service. What did you do? Did you complain to the manager?


[System] guilty: There was a situation where I might of hurt my freinds feelings, I ate from my friends fridge and he had no more food left that day. He had to go to bed with no food. Hungry.

[User] I left his house, filled up with his food and disgust. I left his fridge completely empty and feel guilth

[User] That would be hard to do and take courage.

[User] Thanks man, at the heat of the moment I ate due to my flashbacks I was traumised.

[User] I could see that happening but sounds like you were super brave.


[System] terrified: I was just on vacation in Biloxi. While hanging out on the balcony, I dropped some chips and then the balcony was swarmed by seagulls.

[Assistant] Hi I was recently on vacation and frightened half to death.

[Assistant] Oh, my, what happened?

[Assistant] I was eating some chips on the balcony. I dropped them and then was swarmed by seagulls.

[Assistant] I live near the ocean, so I do understand how this can be. I hope you ran, very quickly.

[Assistant] I went inside. I donr know how dangerous they are but I didnt want to fall 7 stories.

[Assistant] I heard a story of seagulls drowning a man to death.


[System] furious: My mom took away my game system, and would not give it back ever again.

[Assistant] When i was younger, my mother would always take away my PC because I would always play video games on them.

[Assistant] I was the same way.

[Assistant] Now that I am older though, my girlfriend tries to take away my Pc. Very rough days in my life.

[Assistant] Lol. I take away my daughters now. I guess my mom passed the torch.

[Assistant] Stop doing that, it is very important to have a pc. The internet is the future and very many jobs are opening up online.

[Assistant] She is 13 not at 3am

[Assistant] I think at 3am the mind is truly it's sharpest and can make great content. I do understand the age thing though. Maybe slowly give her more time as she gets older. At 15 to 16 it gets hard to control all together.


[System] disappointed: One of my friend didn't keep this promise he made to me.

[Assistant] One of my friend didn't keep this promise he made to me. I was so angry to him.

[User] What promise didn't he keep?

[User] Wow that sounds like a terrible friend.  I hope he had a good reason for not showing up.

[Assistant] Ah ok. Good you stayed committed to your wife.


[System] caring: I look out for all my students, if they are struggling, I take however much time they need to understand.

[Assistant] I am an English Tutor for Chinese students, when they struggle with a topic, I always take extra time to help them along and make sure they understand

[User] That is very inspiring, I'm glad you take the extra time. Do you like doing what you do?

[Assistant] I like it very much, seeing a kid grasp a new concept and very quickly and finding effective ways to do it is a blast.

[User] That is awesome, thanks for taking the time to help kids grasp a new language! You deserve to be appreciated, but I'm sure they appreciate you a lot.


[System] sad: I felt sad when my dog passed away. It was a pet that I had since I was 3 years old, and was one of the saddest days of my life.

[User] Have you ever had a pet that you had to put down? I was so heartbroken when my dog of 16 years had to be put down. this was years ago but it still makes me sad to this day.

[Assistant] That is heartbreaking, it's always helped me to remember that no matter what happens, you have your memories with them.

[User] That is true, we got her when I was 3 years old so I kind of grew up with her, I'll never forget those memories.

[Assistant] Absolutely, it's a chapter of your life and as long as you have those memories they live on through those memories.

[User] Hopefully you were able to get the ice cream that you wanted in the following days.


[System] grateful: A situation when I felt grateful was when I had a flat tire and my father came to help me with it.  I felt grateful to have family around to be there for me.

[User] One time I had a flat tire and my dad came to help me fix it.

[Assistant] Oh no! Glad your dad was able to help. How did it happen?

[User] I ran over a nail in the road.  Now I know not to drive near new houses.

[Assistant] That's some bad luck. I hope it wasn't too much of a hassle.


[System] sentimental: Every year on my kids birthday's I think back on when they were born. I remember all the sweet smells and sounds of them as a baby.

[Assistant] My kid's birthday are coming up again. It always makes me remember them as babies.

[User] That's awesome! How helpful where the other people so that you could enjoy your trip?

[Assistant] My wife was amazing. She booked the whole trip for us, and planned out some things for us to do while we were there. The person's house we stayed at was also really great, and helped us find our way around Auckland.

[User] Must have been super fun. How were the local people? How did they treat you?

[Assistant] Super nice, the locals were always willing to help us navigate around, and had great recommendations for things to try while we were there.

[User] That's great! Im glad that they took care of you! Have a gret day!


[System] caring: I felt caring when I had to pick up and take care of my ailing cousin. His stomach felt bad and he was vomiting all over the place. I helped clean him up and gave him some medicine to make his stomach go back to normal.

[User] Onnce I had to take care of my cousin who had an ailing stomach

[Assistant] I'm sorry to hear that. Do you know what caused it?

[User] Apparently he ate something and slept immediately

[Assistant] I've done that to myself before. Now I always wait awhile to sleep after eating.

[User] Yeah I had to tell him either to sleep first for a bit than eat. Or eat at first and wait an hour


[System] afraid: Two years ago, i was admitted in hospital. I was not well. I felt afraid whether i would be alive. But fortunately, i am live

[Assistant] I felt afraid. Still i remember it

[Assistant] What were you afraid of?

[Assistant] Two years ago, i was admitted in hospital. I was ill

[Assistant] Oh No, well glad to see you are here still!

[Assistant] Luckily


[System] annoyed: I am so annoyed by my new manager at work. He always lies to us.

[Assistant] We have a new manager at work and it isnt going well.

[Assistant] what is your job position?

[Assistant] I do sales work, but he always lies to us and takes our bonus money.

[Assistant] That's very bad


[System] trusting: Lending my vehicle to a friend, which I never do.

[User] You are never going to believe what I did

[Assistant] What did you do?

[User] Well, I normally do not feel comfortable lending things to my friends, but recently I mustered up the trust to loan my friend my vehicle.

[Assistant] Ouch... Is it just for a day? Is your friend a safe driver?

[User] Well, I have known him for a while and I have never seen him drive crazy, so im just hoping all goes well.  It is just for a day, but a lot can happen in a day.

[Assistant] Yes... If this makes you feel better.. I lent my car to a friend for a week and thank goodness everything was alright.


[System] guilty: I just went for a shopping spree and bought a $2000 bag

[Assistant] I went shopping yesterday and bought a $2000 bag. My husband is going to kill me..

[User] Haha my girlfriend does the same thing.  Check comes in and she is so happy to have money for the next two weeks, then goes and spends it all on clothing and accessories.

[Assistant] All women have the same problem. It is a guilty pleasure..

[User] We all deserve to treat ourselves every now and then.


[System] disgusted: Had to wait in line forever to check out at walmart , horrible

[User] I hate to be tired and see a store crowded with customers and only one or two checkouts open.

[Assistant] Yeah it's really frustrating when they won't have more eople on.

[User] Especially when it's a time of day that they know will be crowded and busy.

[Assistant] Exactly. Hopefully more places will get self-checkout so we can get through the line faster.

[User] I don't mind those sometimes, sometimes I prefer they do it.


[System] furious: I had a co-worker open at my jb and instead of getting anything done she spent the enitre time on the phone. When I got to work I had to do her job and my own.

[Assistant] There was a person who had to do twice the amount of work that they usually do. Sounded like they need to fire whoever didn't do their job

[User] Yeah, or at least do something to correct that.

[Assistant] Maybe there should be a training day where they do back over everything,

[User] or hire more people maybe also

[Assistant] That too! If only

[User] They don't spend money unless they absolutely have to. They get bonuses for saving money I think


[System] angry: Recently my manager lied to us. He changed our money and took the bonus away.

[Assistant] So our new manager has changed our bonus structure causing us to never hit bonus..

[User] And then what?

[Assistant] Its frustrating when I go from 24 an hour to 10 an hour because of his lies.

[User] I understand, that must suck


[System] sad: I was in a situation where I missed out on making some money, that caused me not to be happy.

[User] I had a chance to make some money, but my phone screwed up

[Assistant] Thats terrible... have you gotten a new phone yet?

[User] yes i did, but i still can not get that money

[Assistant] Thats true, but I hope some good luck comes your way soon..


[System] anticipating: We were getting ready to move back to our hometown after nine years away. I could not wait to be back close to family and friends.

[Assistant] wow!! wonderful isn't!! you would have been over the moon once you moved..


[System] anxious: I was reversing the car in the roadside. I had bumped into the car which was parked behind. I had to wait for so long to speak to the car owner

[Assistant] i bumped into a car while reversing, i had to wait long to talk to owner of the other car

[Assistant] Oh no, that's terrible. Sorry you had to deal with that.

[Assistant] It was indeed. the worst part was not able to get hold of him. He parked and wandered somewhere.

[Assistant] I am sure that threw a wrench in your plans. How frustrating!

[Assistant] Yeah i missed my movie..


[System] nostalgic: When my partner went out of her way to make my day better. with gifts.

[Assistant] I was having a bad day the other day but my spouse went and surprised me with my favorite food.

[User] oh nice, im afraid the most asian food that i like is fortune cookies

[User] Have you made a formal complaint against them yet?

[Assistant] Yes, but I think they know the landlord.

[User] You should report it to your local police department. Building and documenting this can help you.


[System] furious: I was drivng home and this guy cut me off. I had to swerve in order to not hit him.

[Assistant] That would pretty amazing. What will you do with the winning?

[Assistant] Pay off my debts from moving number 1, and then buy a house! What would you do with the money?
