[User] I won first place in a chili cooking competition at work today.

[Assistant] Did you get a nice prize for it?

[User] A $50  gift card and bragging rights.

[Assistant] That's amazing, how many people entered?

[User] About 15.

[Assistant] Huge win, do you plan on entering again next year?

[User] I'll probably give it a try. They do little events like this a few times a year.

[Assistant] Maybe if there's a hot dog one I can enter it too.


[System] proud: When my mother graduated university with her arts degree. She had gone back after 20 years.

[Assistant] I could've believe my eyes seeing my mom walk down the isle and getting her degree.

[User] Congradulations you must be very proud of her! What is her degree in?

[Assistant] She ended up getting an arts degree!

[User] I think that's great to hear. Does she already have an art gallery started?

[Assistant] She has just recently got in to painting, would you like to see it?

[User] I would love to but we can't share images on here :(

[Assistant] I was going to invite you to see her work sometime!

[User] I enjoy watching art. Maybe I'll hapen across some of it!


[System] furious: I bought groceries for school lunches and my kids ate everything before school has even started!

[User] I bought groceries to make the kids' school lunches

[Assistant] What kind of lunches do you like to pack for them?

[User] Sandwiches and fruit usually. I have to go back to the store though

[Assistant] Fingerfoods are always good kid lunches. And I hate having to go to the dang grocery store!

[User] They ate almost every thing and school hasnt even started yet.


[System] surprised: My mom used to put one of my christmas presents in something like a poptart box as a prank every year. Last year, the prank was that it was really poptarts in the box.

[Assistant] So, my mom thinks she's sooo funny every christmas because she always wraps up one of the gifts in a poptart box (or something similar). The big surprise this year was I opened my present up and it really was just poptarts this time.

[User] Lol! That is hilarious. I hope you got it on video

[Assistant] She's always recording every christmas. You know what the kicker was though, was that it was the poptarts with no frosting/icing on top.

[User] omg. I love your mom lol


[System] terrified: I was scared by a snake in my yard a few days ago.

[Assistant] I walked up on a snake in my backyard a few days ago.

[User] That's never a fun thing to do

[Assistant] Yeah, it startled me at first. Then I got a hoe and killed it.

[User] Do you know what kind it was?


[System] hopeful: I just went on a job interview. I feel like it went really well.

[Assistant] I just got back from a job interview. It went really well. I feel I might get an offer.

[Assistant] What job did you interview for?

[Assistant] It was for a Financial Analyst job. I really want the job.

[Assistant] That's amazing, you must be so excited right now


[System] devastated: Watching my house burn down after getting my family out. It was such a cold and bitter night.

[Assistant] Can't believe I just saw all my possessions disappear.

[Assistant] Whoa. What happened?

[Assistant] The whole place burned down in the middle of the night

[Assistant] Oh that is devastating. I hope insurance covers.

[Assistant] Me too we're going to call them today, we lost a dog as well.


[System] sentimental: I found my deceased grandfathers watch in an old box in my parents attic.  It is actually quite valuable, but I don't think I could bring myself to sell it.  It has way too much meaning to myself and my family.

[Assistant] I found my deceased grandfathers watch in an old box in my parents attic. It is actually quite valuable, but I don't think I could bring myself to sell it. It has way too much meaning to myself and my family.

[Assistant] I believe there are things in life that are irreplaceable and priceless! There is no amount of money that can give you the true value of your grandfather's watch. I think you should pass it down to your grandchildren.

[Assistant] I agree.  No amount of money could replace it.  I will end up giving to my kids for sure.

[Assistant] I consider this a family heirloom and your children would be happy to share this story for years to come.


[System] surprised: I have a 7 year old daughter that recently showed interest in playing piano. I found a great teacher but she is really intense. To my amazement my daughter is playing like a potential Mozart in just 7 months!

[Assistant] I have a 7 year old daughter that asked to play piano. I found a piano teacher and she is very intense. I thought she would scare my 7 year old but she has excelled in just 7 months of playing. Maybe the teacher is not all that bad.

[Assistant] Wow!  That is amazing!  I guess a little tough instruction and training has paid off!  No need to worry then.

[Assistant] That is exactly what I thought, but recently she has started to push her a little bit harder and wanting to her to compose music because my daughter has a great ear for music.

[Assistant] That's fantastic.  It sounds like she has tapped into her inner musical talent!

[Assistant] Yes she has a gift. However, she is also good at ballet, karate, and science. What is a mother to do?


[System] anxious: I am so excited for the fall. I am going to see two of my friends get married

[User] I am so excited for the fall

[Assistant] What is going to happen?

[User] Two fabolous weedings of my two fabulous friends

[Assistant] Oh boy, have a great time!

[User] I will. I love getting dressed up and celebrating


[System] disgusted: I fly landed in my cup of coffee this morning

[User] A fly landed in my cup of coffee this morning.

[Assistant] Ew, what did you do?

[User] Dumped my coffee out and drove to work  without my morning coffee.  I didn't have time to make another cup.

[Assistant] Aw, that's disappointing!

[User] 5


[System] sad: When my sister passed away from cancer. She had been diagnosed 3 months ago.

[Assistant] My sister just passed away.

[User] Wow, That's unfortunate. Sorry to hear. were you close?

[Assistant] We were, it's so tragic. Cancer spares no one.

[User] I hope you are finding ways to cope with your loss. That can't be easy to deal with.

[Assistant] It really is difficult, I've started therapy recently.

[User] I hope that helps you and that you find peace.

[Assistant] I hope so too it's a difficult time for sure.


[System] angry: I was so upset that my daughter borrowed my headphones. She never brings anything back

[User] I was so upset when my daughter left with my earbuds

[User] I'm guessing she didnt ask to use them?  Has she taken them in the past?

[User] she isnt very good at bringing things back

[User] That would be very frustrating. Hopefully she will learn to replace things as she gets older!

[User] hopefully


[System] proud: I just finished last semester with a 3.5 GPA. I have never had grades that good.

[Assistant] I finished last semester with a 3.5 GPA. I cant believe I did that well. All that hard work paid off.

[Assistant] You worked hard, what are you studying in school?

[Assistant] My major is Finance. I will shoot for a 4.0 this semester.

[Assistant] I believe you can do it, what do you hope to get a job doing after?


[System] impressed: Watching my favorite band play live for the first time. The guitarist was hitting every chord.

[Assistant] I got to see my favorite guitarist last night, he was amazing.

[Assistant] Amazing. I bet that was awesome. Do you play yourself?

[Assistant] I play a little bit but I could never be as good as Anthony Green.

[Assistant] I bet you were having a great time.

[Assistant] It was amazing, he played my favorite song too.


[System] sad: I moved a great distance away from my family, and even though I enjoy my new location, I miss them.

[Assistant] I recently moved from Alabam aall the way to Indiana. I like it a lot better, but I hate having to leave my family behind. I miss them.

[Assistant] Yea that is really far. Give it some time and I am sure you will meet some new people.

[Assistant] Thanks for that! I've been feeling pretty blue, so I appreciate it.

[Assistant] It takes time to adapt to a new city. Get involved in some groups to meet like minded people.


[System] confident: I have a big interview coming up. I feel really good about. I feel well prepared.

[Assistant] I feel really good about this job interview I have coming up.

[Assistant] Oh, good luck on it! What are you applying for?

[Assistant] Its an accounting job. I feel well qualified.

[Assistant] That's a great attitude to have going in. They really pick up on confidence at interviews.


[System] joyful: It makes me happy when I come home and my cat is waiting by the door to greet me

[User] It makes me happy to see my cat waiting for me at the front door when I come home after a long day of work

[User] Aw, that is really cute of your cat to do.

[User] Yea, she's a sweetheart. First cat I've ever owned and I realize now that I'm a cat person as opposed to a dog person.

[User] It's good to have a pet in your life, makes you happy.


[System] apprehensive: I am weary about ordering chicken now. It made me really sick once

[User] I don't order chicken anymore from restaurants

[User] Why not? I LOVE chicken!

[User] I got sick the ;ast time and i am too scared

[User] Oh no! Maybe the restaurant you ate from wasn't clean?

[User] I think so but I am just too scared now


[System] caring: I often pick up stray animals that I see on the side of the road and bring them home. You should see my back yard! It's a zoo!

[User] When I'm driving around and I see a stray dog or cat, I feel so bad that I can't help but stop to pick them up and bring them home! I can't believe how many people neglect their pets!

[User] Its sad. How many rescues do you have?

[User] Oh, man, I have a LOT! I have a pretty big fenced in back yard. I'd say around 20. I need to stop soon, but I can't help it!

[User] Well I appreciate you.

[User] Thanks, I appreciate that. I hope others get inspired to do something similar when they hear my story.

[User] i want to rescue but I have to wait until I move. No pets allowed here


[System] sad: My pet dog passed away two weeks ago. He was 12 years old.

[Assistant] So my dog passed away a couple of weeks ago. Its been really hard not having him around.

[Assistant] Oh no!  How old was he?

[Assistant] I had him for 12 years.

[Assistant] What type of dog was he?


[System] disgusted: I found a hair in my sandwhich at lunch.

[User] I found a hair in my sandwhich at lunch.

[Assistant] That's gross. Did you make the sandwich yourself or buy it from a restaurant?

[User] From jasons deli :(

[Assistant] Nasty. That makes me want to not eat there anymore, but I guess it happens sometimes.

[User] Yeah, Pretty gross. Not the way to end lunch on a friday.

[Assistant] I hope you got a refund.

[User] It was catered lunch. So on refunds.


[System] sad: Don't you hate it when you're feeling confident in a new hairstyle or some clothes you're wearing, and then someone makes fun of you? Had that happen the other day. Makes you want to be able to hide in the background and never try anything new again

[Assistant] Don't you hate it when you're feeling confident in a new hairstyle or some clothes you're wearing, and then someone makes fun of you? Had that happen the other day. Makes you want to be able to hide in the background and never try anything new again

[Assistant] That is just the worst, who made fun of you?

[Assistant] It was actually a stranger, and I was on public transportation. They didn't actually say anything to me, I could just tell the way they were giving me a look, and kind of shaking their head and then laughing to themselves, that it was pointed at me. Maybe I read too much into it. Either way, made me want to sink into the ground

[Assistant] That's so disappointing. People should really not be judging others when they don't know how much effort was put in to the outfit.

[Assistant] I think it was my haircut :( But thank you for the kind words. I need you to hype me up in the morning and make me feel confident!

[Assistant] Hi are you still here?

[Assistant] Yes, it seemed to bug out, not sure

[Assistant] It did, what were we talking about again?


[System] sad: When my cat passed away after being hit by a car. It was just after my hockey practice.

[Assistant] I was so sad when my cat passed away.

[Assistant] I can understand that. I lost my dog a few years ago. What's worse is I wasn't around when it happened--I was out of the state. I hope you at least got to say goodbye.

[Assistant] It was the worst, I didn't get to say goodbye she got hit by a car.

[Assistant] Man.. I'm so sorry. I remember when I was really young, I was in the car with my mom and she hit our neighbor's cat driving home. They just ran right out into the street. She drove home and cried for a while.

[Assistant] It was so difficult, I don't even know if the person cares that they took away my favorite pet.

[Assistant] Who knows. They could have been like my mom, and maybe they were different and were too ashamed to say anything. Might not have noticed, either. Or they were just bad people. Hopefully you can focus on your pet and how much you loved them instead of those things you can't get answers to.


[System] content: I was sitting at work looking over expense reports. I felt very calm while doing this because I enjoy working with numbers.

[Assistant] I was at work the other day, just sitting at my desk.

[Assistant] ... then what?

[Assistant] I felt really calm because I was working with numbers.

[Assistant] Aw, wonderful!


[System] content: At our last family Thanksgiving gathering, each of us took turns saying what we were thankful for. It brought us so much closer together as a family, and that evening I feel so content and warm. It was very special to all of us.

[User] I had a particularly meaningful Thanksgiving gathering with my family.

[Assistant] Well that's good!  What did you all do?

[User] Each of us took turns saying how thankful we were about certain things in our lives.

[Assistant] We do something similar at our Thanksgivings.  Did you make a home-cooked meal?

[User] Yes, everything from scratch, even the pie crusts.

[Assistant] What sorts of pie did yo umake?

[User] We make cherry and apple and my grandson makes pumpkin. How about you?

[Assistant] We haven't really done pies in a while, but my grandma makes a chocolate roll and my mom makes some awesome pumpkin bars.  Do you roast your turkey?  We use a turkey fryer for ours.


[System] content: Spur of the moment, my sister and I grilled outside. No special occasion, but we watched the sun set and ate grilled hotdogs and it was just nice.

[Assistant] i never really had thought to do this, but the other day I just grilled spur of the moment and watched the sun set with my sister. It was really nice, honestly.

[User] That sounds pretty awesome.  What did you guys grill?  Was she over for a special occasion at all?

[Assistant] We grilled a couple of hotdogs and hamburgers, and we're roommates basically. It works good because I'm so used to living with her that it's a lot better than an average roommate.

[User] I agree.  I had a cousin living with me for a while until he got on his feet.  I really preferred that over a stranger.  It sounds like you both had an awesome night!


[System] excited: My friend is coming in from out of town today.

[User] My friend is coming in from out of town today.

[User] cool

[User] Thanks, we're gonna have a blast this weekend.

[User] i bet. I miss my friends


[System] trusting: My daughter has grown up so much. She is finally able tobabysit her younger siblings

[User] my daughter has matured so well

[User] That's good to hear. How old is she?

[User] 14. she can babysit her younger siblings now. im proud of her

[User] Hey, you can go out and not pay a babysitter.


[System] joyful: Get to hang out and play cards with my girlfriend and her parents. Her parents are actually pretty laid back and fun to be around, so I'm looking forward to it. Glad I don't have to deal with overbearing in-laws like some people.

[Assistant] Get to hang out and play cards with my girlfriend and her parents. Her parents are actually pretty laid back and fun to be around, so I'm looking forward to it. Glad I don't have to deal with overbearing in-laws like some people

[User] That's good. Were you nervous at first?

[Assistant] Heck yeah I was. I think everybody is. But then once you get over the annoying stage of saying all the general stuff about yourself, and meeting them for the first few times, it got pretty easy

[User] Well that's nice that you all get along. you ar actually pretty lucky


[System] guilty: I feel bad for ordering fast food all the time. I know its not good for us

[User] I feel bad

[Assistant] Hmm.. what's that mean? Do you feel like you did something wrong?

[User] In the past couple of months I have barely cooked. We have eaten a lot a fast food.

[Assistant] Ah, I see. Yeah, that's an easy habit to have. I would be that way too if I wasn't too cheap to spend money. I just try to do a lot of croc-pot stuff since I stink at cooking and am poor

[User] I need to do that


[System] sad: I am bummed out today.  I failed a big test and my co-worker passed.

[User] I am bummed out today. I failed a big test and my co-worker passed.

[Assistant] OH no! Did you study?

[User] A little.. I mean it was an English test.. I know English. LOL

[Assistant] LOL! English is a tough subject.


[System] disgusted: Have had this roommate for a year. Decided to renew lease with him. Been pretty good so far.. except he has a problem remembering to flush the toilet--no matter whether it's #1 or #2. Getting kind of old.

[Assistant] Have had this roommate for a year. Decided to renew lease with him. Been pretty good so far.. except he has a problem remembering to flush the toilet--no matter whether it's #1 or #2. Getting kind of old.

[Assistant] That is a very big problem to me! However, if you signed a new lease with him it seems as if you can deal with it right?

[Assistant] Yeah I guess.. I mean it's much more annoying to me to have to do another roommate search. Searching for roommates and apartments in general is just so annoying, and I'd rather spend the time trying to make money for rent and all that. But yeah, not sure why some people have these kind of quirks.

[Assistant] Well it seems that you have to deal with him for at least another year. With that in mind I hope you have more than one bathroom. I suggest you let him keep his poop in one without cleaning it up until it starts to bother him!


[System] excited: I received this email yesterday saying that I have unclaimed money and all I have to do is verify some information to receive it. I confirmed the validity of the email and it turns out to be a substantial amount of money.

[Assistant] I received this email yesterday saying that I have unclaimed money and all I have to do is verify some information to receive it. I confirmed the validity of the email and it turns out to be a substantial amount of money.

[Assistant] Dang, that sounds too good to be true. If you're 100% sure that it's not a scam, and then 100% sure again that it's definitely not a scam (please really really check in every way possible), then I'm happy for you!

[Assistant] I am totally laughing out loud at your response! I thought the same thing when i first got the notice, however I have spoken with a representative and it an actually gift from a deceased family member.

[Assistant] Whaaat! That was cool of them. If it were me, it'd be torture trying to figure out what to do. Put it into stocks? Savings? Pay off debt? Go on a vacation? I hate making decisions cause I feel like I messed up no matter what I choose. But maybe you deserve a vacation, eh


[System] impressed: I'm impressed with my new used car that I bought for cheap. It runs great.

[User] I'm impressed with my new used car that I bought for cheap. It runs great.

[User] Congrats. you are lucky

[User] Yeah I am, I only got it for 2000 dollars as well!

[User] really? wow


[System] terrified: I am going to watch a scary movie with my daughter tonight. I really dont want to

[User] my daughter gets to pick the movie tonight for movie night

[User] That's fun, do you think you will enjoy it?

[User] i know i won't. She has been saying all week she is picking a horror film

[User] Uh oh, well at least you won't be a lone when you watch a scary movie.

[User] I am going to take a pill and go to sleep lol


[System] faithful: When at a party, a girl tried to kiss me but I was in a relationship already.

[Assistant] I had to fend off this girl at a party.

[User] What was she doing?

[Assistant] She tried to kiss me when I already have a girlfriend.

[User] Ohhh wow.  I hope you were successful!

[Assistant] I was I felt so faithful in the moment my girl was proud oto.


[System] devastated: I came home from work.. and opened my mail up.. and you won't believe what I got in the mail.

[User] I came home from work.. and opened my mail up.. and you won't believe what I got in the mail.

[Assistant] What did you get in the mail?

[User] I got a repo notice for my car.  I am so upset.

[Assistant] That is awful, did you miss some payments?

[User] Yes.. but I had a valid reason.  Cries..

[Assistant] Whats the reason?

[User] I couldn't work I was taking care of my sick husband.

[Assistant] I'm sorry to hear that, how is he feeling now?


[System] excited: I can't wait til I get to try my new Jet-Skis out on the lake.  They will be fun.

[User] I can't wait til I get to try my new Jet-Skis out on the lake. They will be fun.

[User] Nice!!! When are you planning on going?

[User] Not this weekend, but we have plans for the weekend after that!

[User] That's so close. Have you gone jet skiing on that lake before?

[User] Nope, it should be an interesting and fun experience!


[System] caring: I feel very motherly toward my cat

[User] Do you own a pet? I feel very motherly toward my cat lol

[User] I know that feeling! I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. Love them to death.

[User] Isn't it nice to come home to them after a long day of work?

[User] Yeah! and they are so excited to see you and welcome you home!


[System] anxious: I'm getting anxious about visiting my girlfriend's parents this weekend, it'll be our first time meeting.

[User] I'm getting anxious about visiting my girlfriend's parents this weekend, it'll be our first time meeting.

[User] Why has it taken so long?

[User] We have only been dating a month.

[User] Sorry.. when I first read what you said I read it as Grandparents.. I don't know why.  My brain is tired from work.


[System] afraid: I was so scared.  I was at a graveyard at dark with my drunk boyfriend..

[User] I was so scared.  I was at a graveyard in the dark with my drunk boyfriend.

[User] Oh no, how did you end up in that situation.

[User] I thought it would be entertaining.  But I sorta lost him for a bit because it was so dark.  LOL.  I just stayed near the road/car and waited till I saw him again.

[User] Haha, that's awesome, at least you two made it out of it safely.


[System] surprised: I was shocked.  I was at the state park walking through the woods and I swear I saw a Bigfoot.

[User] I was shocked. I was at the state park walking through the woods and I swear I saw a Bigfoot.

[Assistant] I would have been so excited lol.  What did it look like?!

[User] Just like you think it would.. big, tall, hairy walking ape sorta thing

[Assistant] Was anyone with you?  Did anyone believe you?


[System] impressed: My sister is about to graduate from college.  She kept at it even thought she had two kids pretty young and worked full time.

[Assistant] My younger sister graduates from college this year, I can't believe she's going to get her degree.

[User] Thats awesome though.  I didn't graduate until I was 40 something

[Assistant] It was 30s for me!  She kept at her classes, even though she had two kids pretty young and worked.

[User] That really is quite an accomplishment.. the type that makes you cry at graduation ceremonies!


[System] grateful: I'm so happy I have my dogs in my life, they are so loyal and happy.

[User] I'm so happy I have my dogs in my life, they are so loyal and happy.

[Assistant] That's very sweet. I was just dog-sitting my neighbor's dogs last week. They were a little annoying at first, but I had to watch and stay with them the whole week, and I really grew to like them. They felt like my little sisters I had to take care of and play with

[User] Yeah, after awhile you start to love them no matter how annoying they can become sometimes.

[Assistant] Right, yeah, you just get used to their presence. I hated that they'd bark so much at thunderstorms, but other than that, their little quirks were growing on me. In fact, I miss them right now


[System] anxious: I've been having to pee a lot lately. I know that's one of the symptoms of diabetes, and my dad has diabetes, too. Kind of worried to go to the doctor and get checked out.

[Assistant] I've been having to pee a lot lately. I know that's one of the symptoms of diabetes, and my dad has diabetes, too. Kind of worried to go to the doctor and get checked out.

[User] Have you been drinking more water lately? or it's just happening for no reason?

[Assistant] I feel like it's been for no reason, but I might be paranoid. Everything has been the same so far. I just figured I'd go get a check-up anyway, since it's been a while.

[User] That would be a good idea, it's better to get tested and treated early if it is anything serious!


[System] ashamed: I forgot to put gas in my car and I ran out of gas on the side of the road!

[User] I forgot to put gas in my car and I ran out of gas on the side of the road!

[User] Oh my!  You must have been pretty embarrassed.  Did someone bring you gas?

[User] Yeah, I was so ashamed! I had to call my dad to get him to bring me gas.  Felt bad.

[User] I'm sure its happened to him before and understands.


[System] prepared: Just got back from Freshmen Orientation at my daughter's high school.  I think we have all the information we need for next week.

[User] My daughter and I just got home from her high school freshman orientation.

[User] Awesome! How was that? do you think she will enjoy high school?

[User] She got her schedule, locker and was able to figure out where her classes were.  I think we are both ready for school to start now.

[User] I know that feeling, I'm waiting for the college to start myself!


[System] sentimental: My grandma passed away earlier this year. We used to always get together as a family and play cards on sundays. This sunday is the first time we're doing it again without her. It will feel weird, but nice to be with family again.

[Assistant] My grandma passed away earlier this year. We used to always get together as a family and play cards on sundays. This sunday is the first time we're doing it again without her. It will feel weird, but nice to be with family again

[Assistant] Aww, that's so sad. I'm sure she would have wanted ya'll to keep having fun times together.

[Assistant] Yeah, you're right. And we figured the same. We just didn't do it for a little while because it felt weird at first, and then it was easier to not be doing it once we got out of the habit. Glad we didn't let it go too long though.

[Assistant] Yes, it's good to keep bonding. I understand not being able to do it at first, though


[System] annoyed: My kids ask me 500 questions a day. 490 while I'm on the phone

[User] My children ask me so many questions every day

[User] Oh, man, mine too! It's so annoying.

[User] The most question are asked when I'm talking to someone else. does that happen to you too/

[User] Sure does. I think they get a little jealous and just want our attention. They're also very curious about the world, which is a good thing!

[User] That's all true


[System] sentimental: I need to upgrade my phone soon, but I have an attachment to it that I can't let go of.

[User] I need to buy a new phone soon, I've been having this one for so long. But I'm having a hard time letting go, I'm sort of attached to it.

[User] Is there not an upgraded version?

[User] There is, but it's more of an attachment to this specific phone itself. I've had it for so long. It feels like an old friend!

[User] Oh. I know what you mean. I am like that with shoes. I always change my phone


[System] angry: I am so mad.  Someone took my crystal ball.

[User] I am so mad. Someone took my crystal ball.

[User] I would have though that your crystal ball would have forewarned you? ;)

[User] No.. in fact... I can't even try to get it back now because the energy in it is now ruined.

[User] Did you keep your receipt?  Maybe you can exchange it or get your money back?  ;)  lol


[System] anticipating: School starts next week!  Hooray!  I can't wait to see my youngest start high school!

[User] Summer is almost over, school is starting again soon.

[User] I feel your pain totally.  I take an online class and I am a teacher at a new school this year

[User] My daughter will be a freshman in high school.  I am so stoked about it!!!

[User] Fun times!  Makes you think back to being in HS.  I am working in a HS this time.


[System] surprised: I was surprised that I was able to get into the apartment I wanted without any problems.

[User] I was surprised that I was able to get into the apartment I wanted without any problems.

[Assistant] Nice! I hate looking for apartments. I'm in college and have looked for apartments for the past three years. It gets really old after a while, since I'm on a budget and it's hard to find something cheap but not a rat's nest. Glad you found what you wanted.

[User] Right? I'm in the same situation and was expecting this place to be filled up since it's right next to the campus!

[Assistant] I live right next to my campus too! The downside is it's a building made in the '50s and looks terrible on the inside. But I can bear it since I'm saving money. Most college kids have their parents money and just choose a fancier place because they don't care about money.


[System] terrified: So... Last night I saw a huge black spider in my room. Took me like 20 minutes to muster up the courage to attack it. Well... I tried attacking it, and missed, and it went behind a piece of furniture and I couldn't find it again. I slept in another room..

[Assistant] So... Last night I saw a huge black spider in my room. Took me like 20 minutes to muster up the courage to attack it. Well... I tried attacking it, and missed, and it went behind a piece of furniture and I couldn't find it again. I slept in another room..

[User] I hate that!  Knowing a spider or any sort of bug is in your room and then knowing you have to go to sleep.  I would have done the same thing.

[Assistant] Yeah no joke. I want to just burn the place down and move on. I bet the spider would still be alive in the ashes somewhere though, just laughing at me, like, "Thanks for the free land, chump."

[User] Haha, while he builds back up his spider web.


[System] jealous: I'm jealous of anyone who doesn't have to deal with student loan debt!

[User] I'm jealous of anyone who doesn't have to deal with student loan debt!

[User] LMAO.  LOLOL.  I pay 600 a month.  You?

[User] I'm at 350, It's horrible!

[User] see it can get worse!  lol... I am paying cash for my classes now but I only take 1 at a time.


[System] devastated: I was totally disappointed today.  No one remembered my birthday.

[User] I was totally disappointed today. No one remembered my birthday.

[User] That's sad, well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[User] Thank you!  Its ok I guess because I am old anyways.

[User] I sort of feel the same way, the older I get, the less I care about my birthday.


[System] lonely: My husband left for a week long business trip, and he took our dog with him!  I was all alone in the house.

[Assistant] My husband went away on a week long business trip, and took our dog with him

[Assistant] Ah, so are you feeling pretty lonely? That's interesting that he took the dog with him on a business trip, but who am I to judge! Could be viewed as kind of cool that he's that close with the dog.

[Assistant] Yeah, we're both kind of crazy about the dog lol, and I hate being alone in the house

[Assistant] Yeah, he should have left the dog with you so not only would you have some company, but some protection, too. But I don't know all of the situation so I guess I shouldn't say for sure! Hopefully it's not for too long so you guys can get back to being a trio


[System] guilty: I'm in school right now and unable to pay for much since most of my money goes towards bills and that's it. My girlfriend is out of school and working, and so when we do go out, she has to pay a lot of the time. I feel bad for making her do that, but I don't have much of a choice.

[Assistant] I'm in school right now and unable to pay for much since most of my money goes towards bills and that's it. My girlfriend is out of school and working, and so when we do go out, she has to pay a lot of the time. I feel bad for making her do that, but I don't have much of a choice

[Assistant] Aw, you shouldn't feel bad!  At some point you'll have more cash and do the treating.  There's a lot of give and take in relationships.

[Assistant] Yeah, I know, I just hate people paying for me, or feeling like a burden. That's like my #1 thing. But it's weird to say "no, we can't go do this fun thing just because of me, even though you want to." So it's a rock and a hard place. I guess I will just have to look forward to when I can return the favor

[Assistant] I totally get it.  I bet you think about it way more than she does, though I don't know if that makes you feel any better lol


[System] sentimental: I can't believe my favorite restaurant is closing. I am going to miss that place

[User] My favorite neighborhood restaurant is closing

[Assistant] What restaurant is it?

[User] Its called lucy's. it's near my house. I have had so many good memories there

[Assistant] What kind of food do they make? Sorry to hear that! That's awful.

[User] Its a soulf food restaurant. Its been around since I was a kids

[Assistant] Maybe they could get funding from the municipality.


[System] furious: When I got my test back and my professor had marked everything wrong. I clearly had the correct answers.

[Assistant] Can't believe my professor marked all this wrong.

[User] Marked what wrong?

[Assistant] All the answers on my calculus test, I know the answers were correct so I'm confused.

[User] Did you speak with him?

[Assistant] I haven't been able too, he's been sick lately.

[User] Oh. Well he will probably fix it when he gets better

[Assistant] I hope so, but it's stressing me out big time.

[User] I can imagine


[System] confident: I'm going to open up a new gym soon. I think it'll do extremely well where I live!

[User] I decided to take the risk and start my own gym downtown. I think it'll do well, though! I know a lot of power lifters and bodybuilders.

[User] Wow, congratulations! That is a really cool endeavor!

[User] Thanks! I can't wait to see it filled with people who are passionate about the iron! I'll probably take on a little personal training while I'm at it.

[User] Sometimes it is worth taking a risk like that to have a high reward.


[System] disappointed: I wish I could have visited my family this weekend. But I have a big project to work on.

[User] I feel a bit sad about this weekend. I have to work on a big project for work instead of visiting my family.

[User] I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully after this project you can get some time off to spend with your family.

[User] Thanks, yeah it's important to find the time to spend with those you love. I just couldn't make it this time.

[User] I'm sure your family will understand. And look at the bright side, you'll cherish your next visit even more.


[System] impressed: I'm really impressed with our city's new freeway, it makes getting to work so easy!

[User] I'm really impressed with our city's new freeway, it makes getting to work so easy!

[User] That is always a good thing.  Is it free or a toll road?  Where I live most of em cost money.

[User] It's free! That's also a huge plus, but yeah I save 10 minutes getting to work!

[User] Thats awesome.  Saves time and money.


[System] excited: I am excited.  School starts Monday and I am working in an alternative school.  That makes it more exciting.

[User] Nice! School is starting next week for me also, hopefully we both have a good school year!

[User] I hope so.  I've had a week of training on how to control delinquent youth.

[User] Is this your first year working this job? If so, hope it goes well!

[User] Yes it is.. thanks I will need it.  At least they have a metal detector.


[System] anticipating: Can't wait til my wife gets home, I'm surprising her with flowers and dinner.

[User] Can't wait til my wife gets home, I'm surprising her with flowers and dinner.

[User] She is most certainly going to enjoy that!

[User] Yeah, sometimes I feel the need to surprise her after a long week of work.

[User] No special occasion then?


[System] anxious: Big day next week and I can't wait.  My daughter will be in an Honors class her freshman year.

[User] I am excited for my daughter starting school week after next.

[User] Yay! is it her first year or just excited to get some free time?

[User] I nervous for her because its the start of her freshman year and she has all Honors classes.

[User] That's so cool! Is it like a best friend for someone who may be lonely?

[Assistant] Yes it is!


[System] angry: The other day while driving. someone cut me off, when I honked they flicked me off.

[User] Soo the other day I was driving, got cut off, and when I honked at the other driver to let him know he almost hit my car, he flicked me off. I'm still bitter about it.

[Assistant] Oh that sucks, I would honk harder at him

[User] Lol I should've done that. Anything to show my extreme displeasure. I live in a big city so bad drivers are everywhere.

[Assistant] Yeah, some cities have a lot of people and some really bad drivers. They're rude and disrepectful to all other people even pedestrians.


[System] grateful: I am glad I can afford a little of want I want. One day I will be able to have it all

[User] I glad I can afford the necessities and a little of what I want

[Assistant] One day when you are successful, I hope you pass your good luck forward!

[User] I surely will. I do it now when I can


[System] sad: When my stepdad told me we couldn't play baseball anymore. I had just got injured.

[Assistant] I can't believe he won't let me play baseball anymore.

[Assistant] Oh that's terrible! If you don't mind me asking; Who and why?

[Assistant] My stepdad won't let me play baseball anymore simply because I hurt my arm throwing.

[Assistant] Maybe he is trying to do what he thinks is best. I'm sure it's out of love not just being mean.

[Assistant] I think so too maybe I could play some hockey instead.


[System] ashamed: I feel really bad.  I cheated on my husband.

[User] I feel really bad. I cheated on my husband.

[User] Oh, bless her heart. I hope you are nice to her.

[User] I am.  I can tell she's lonely.  She told me her husband died awhile back so I think she's lonely too.

[User] That's really nice of you for being nice to her. I bet she is happy that you are her co-worker.


[System] devastated: My husband was in a car accident a couple of years ago. A woman pulled out in front of him on the highway. Unfortunately a woman we knew was in the vehicle and passed away. We were so upset.

[User] My husband was in an accident a couple of years ago. A van pulled out in front of him. A woman we knew was in it and she passed away.

[Assistant] Oh, well that's terrible! Hopefully, your husband was okay and nobody else was hurt. But, it's awful that anyone was.

[User] It was so sad. She was such a sweet lady. My husband had some minor injuries, but is better now. The emotional pain was the worst thing.

[Assistant] Yes, there are many times the emotional pain from tragic events are worse than physical. It doesn't make it easier that it was a person you knew, I'm sure.

[System] angry: I had someone back into my truck last week.  I learned today that they did not have insurance!

[User] I'm more upset at the fact that they lied about having insurance!

[Assistant] That was really shady of them to do that, wonder why they did?

[System] ashamed: I was making a casserole and when I pulled it out of the oven, part of my oven mitt wasn't as insolated and I burned my hand, causing me to drop it on the glass door of the stove and shattering the door.

[Assistant] Okay so I've never been a good cook but the first time I ever made a casserole was a diasaster. I went to pull it out of the oven and part of my oven mitt must have not been insolated well, so I dropped it and it shattered the door to my stove.

[Assistant] Oh no! All that work for nothing

[Assistant] Oh don't worry, the casserole didn't spill, but nobody besides me wanted to eat it because they were sure there must be glass somewhere in it, ha.

[Assistant] Did it at least taste good? lol

[User] I had a tire low on air but, a co-worker of mine had an air compressor in his car he let me use

[User] That is good that he had an air compressor. Low tires seem to be the story of my life. I seem to always have to be airing up a tire.

[User] I need to get one for myself.

[User] They are very handy to have. We got a box that airs up tires and has jumper cables also.

[User] Yeah, I've seen those. Do they work good?

[Assistant] I live at home alone with my cat, but she had to move out for a week when we were doing some construction.

[User] Aw, was she stressed out?

[Assistant] Just a little, since she was around other cats for the first time. I think I was more of a wreck than she was though.  The house seemed so empty without her.

[System] furious: I am pissed off at Trump

[Assistant] I am so pissed off at Trump, he is the worst president ever.

[User] Why do you feel that way?  Has he enacted any policies that directly affect you or anyone you know?  For the record - I'm not too fond of him either, just curious more than anything.

[Assistant] It is mostly because he is a racist misogenist

[User] I agree that he has said some things to suggest that.  However, I do think he has done some good and wouldnt necessarily be the worst president we have ever had.

[User] We had to have a talk the next day. One had no memory of the night and the other half apologized. We've moved on, but I'm still sore about it.

[Assistant] Yeah, my wife says the same thing.  My boss is kinda intimidating though and it causes me to second guess myself at times.

[Assistant] Don't be ashamed or set yourself short espcially since you worked so hard. If you feel scared or hesitant to do so than I would talk to her boss to possibly set up a meeting.

[Assistant] She wanted to try something new, she was bored of me.

[User] Wow that's harsh.

[Assistant] It is, I don't know what to do anymore, any ideas?

[System] lonely: Me and my girlfriend broke up yesterday.

[User] Me and my girlfriend broke up yesterday.

[User] I'm happy I can afford to take care of my health. If i need something special or specific, I can just buy it usually.

[User] That is certainly a blessing, good for you!

[User] It is! I am enjoying it. Things don't always last, so you have to enjoy any good things when they happen.  I have almost never had a time like that in my life where I can even buy necessary items.

[User] I get that, but I hope that continues for you!

[User] Me too! lol. Thank you

[Assistant] My landlord entered my appartment without notifying me. I was sleeping.

[Assistant] I used to have to walk hours to my grandmothers after school.

[User] Why did you not get driven there?

[Assistant] MY mom had moved across town. She would drop me off at school and I would have to walk there after.

[User] Wow, that is not safe at all for a kid though

[Assistant] What'd he say to that?

[Assistant] He had no choice. He decided to pay me back.


[System] terrified:  I hate scary movies, they scare me so much, especially jumpscares

[User] I hate scary movies, they scare me so much, especially jumpscares

[Assistant] Same here. I can't do it

[User] I get that, the noises are just so loud your body cannot react to it well

[System] afraid: I got new neighbors and I don't think they are too nice. I don't want to speak to them

[Assistant] I don't think my new neighbors are nice people

[System] lonely: Super sad today. It's the weekend pretty much and I have a hard time with loneliness on the weekends especially. I would prefer to skip over them during this time in my life.

[User] Super sad today. It's the weekend pretty much and I have a hard time with loneliness on the weekends especially.

[Assistant] I am sorry. Maybe not focus as friday-sunday as the weekend, but as any other day. And do things you would normally do on other days.

[User] That is hard as there is not the typical work which keeps me busy on the weekdays.

[Assistant] That is a tough one. What do you normally do other then work on those days?

[User] Look for work, work on business and try not to let it get to me.

[Assistant] Is there anything else you do besides work? A hobby you enjoy, video games, music, working out?

[User] I workout daily. I try to keep busy but the loneliness eats at me right now. I just had to kick my partner out to go get help..I miss him..but I don't miss the bad parts..but it's still hard to be alone and do everything alone, you know? I am not at a music place yet. I am healing as well. Healing is NOT easy

[Assistant] Healing is never easy. It always has the negatives. Any sort of healing always starts with pain, a open wound, and itchy scabs, and the left over scar. I wish I could talk to you daily and help you get through it. I know its hard to go and do things alone. I recently discovered a text number that allows you to talk to someone when you are feeling down. it is 741741. I have used it just recently myself. It does work and is better then nothing.


[System] impressed: There was this one time I was with my friend, and there was this customer who was being rude. We looked at each other, and had the same thoughts without saying out loud to each other.

[Assistant] One time I went out to eat with my friend. And there was a customer who was just very rude and vulgar. My friend and i gave each other "the look" and realized we were having the same thoughts. I was surprised.

[User] (Thank you for your words! I have a mom to talk too, so it helps but loads of trauma, abuse and death are hard to even talk about. Thank you! I hope you feel better too!) I have had to talk to customers who were nasty to clerks before! It's shocking.

[Assistant] (im glad to hear you have someone. But having someone who cant be biased always helps too) It really is. Some people can get so nasty and vicious over the smallest things! Im so glad i got out of the food industry.

[User] I know right? Oh lord- the food industry is the worst, especially for waitresses.

[Assistant] Yes! Specially when its something wrong with the food. Like they didn't make the food? the cook did. They get the heat for EVERYTHING.


[System] anticipating: Waiting for pizza to come. I ordered extra of everything.

[Assistant] Waiting for pizza to come. I ordered extra of everything.

[User] Ohhhh yum!  What are your favorite toppings?

[Assistant] Olives! And all the vegetables.

[User] That's what I get too!  I also get vegan cheese...its delish!  Hope you have a great time chowing down tonight!


[System] disappointed: We were going to the lake for a weekend getaway since we haven't had some downtime in forever and then we got sick instead.

[User] We were going to the lake for a weekend getaway since we haven't had some downtime in forever and then we got sick instead.

[Assistant] Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. Did you reschedule?

[User] We don't have another weekend to do it so unfortunately, no.  I think we will just wait for chilly weather and try to do something else.

[Assistant] I hope you guys will still get to spend quality time together and of course, get some rest in.
