A fitness freak

Amanda: Are you going jogging again?

Mitch: I can’t help myself. I’m totally nuts about jogging.

Amanda: Don’t you think you’re overdoing it?

Mitch: Overdoing it? Nah! You can never be too fit.

Amanda: Well, working out all the time can be too much of a good thing. It’s not good for your muscles.

Mitch: Don’t worry, Sis. I admit I’m a bit of a fitness freak, but I know when to draw the line.

Amanda: All right, if you say so. But just don’t become an addict or something.

Call in sick

Jose: Alexa, were you absent from work yesterday?

Alexa: Yeah, I was under the weather. I had to call in sick.

Jose: What’s wrong? Did you catch a cold?

Alexa: No. I had a terrible stomachache and was throwing up. Apparently, I got food poisoning.

Jose: Wow, sounds serious. Are you sure you’re ready to come back to work?

Alexa: Yeah, I’ll be fine. Luckily, I had some sick days available.

Catch a cold

Alice: What’s wrong? You don’t look too good.

Brendan: I think I’ve caught a cold.

Alice: Sorry to hear that. Are you taking any pills?

Brendan: Yes, my doctor prescribed some medicine.

Alice: I hope you feel better.

Brendan: Thanks. You should be careful too. It’s flu season.

Alice: You’re right. Everyone around me is coming down with the flu.

That’s easier said than done

Jose: I made a big mistake today. I accidentally insulted my girlfriend.

Kyung Hyun: Why don’t you just apologize?

Jose: That’s easier said than done. I tried, but she won’t accept my apology.

Kyung Hyun: Just sit down with her and clear the air. I’m sure it was just a misunderstanding.

Jose: You’re right. But to tell you the truth, I’m scared to face her when she’s angry.

Kyung Hyun: I get that. But you’ll have to face your fears sooner or later.

A know-it-all

Stacy: Joe, your fly’s undone.

Joe: Huh? Hey, cut it out. You’re embarrassing me.

Stacy: I think you’ve got something in your teeth too.

Joe: You’re rellay getting on my nerves. You’re such a know-it-all!

Stacy: Be careful, your laces are untied.

Joe: That’s it! You’re really pushing it!

——— Joe turns to leave, but then trips on his laces and falls flat on his face ———

Stacy: See? I told you so!

Stop showing off!

Josh: Guess waht!

Kendra: What?

Josh: I’m learning to skateboard. It’s been 3 weeks, but I’m already a pro.

Kendra: No you’re not. Stop showing off.

Josh: No, I swear! I’m telling the truth. Look!

——— Josh tries a skateboard trick, but falls down ———

Kendra: Haha, serves you right. That’s what you get for telling people you’re an expert.

Josh: I said I’m “learning”! Stop putting words in my mouth.

Two wrongs don’t make a right

Mick: What?! Did you just take my computer?

Vickie: Yeah. So what?

Mick: You can’t just take my things without asking.

Vickie: Why not? Last week, you used my car without telling me.

Mick: Well, two wrongs don’t make a right. You should have asked me first!

Vickie: Whatever. Get over it.

Mick: That’s the last straw. I’m moving out!

Beats me

Amanda: Hey, what’s up with Andrew today? He’s being so grumpy.

Vince: Beats me. He’s been moping all day.

Amanda: I asked him about his weekend, and he just blew me off!

Vince: Don’t worry about it. He has mood swings sometimes.

Amanda: Yeah, but that doesn’t give him the right to be so rude.

We had a falling out

Alice: Whatever happened to your friend Jonathan? You never talk about him anymore.

Derrick: Oh, him. Well, we lost contract a few years back.

Alice: Why? You two were like brothers.

Derrick: We had a falling out. I found out he’d been talking about me behind my back.

Alice: Sorry to hear that. It just goes to show that you can’t trust some people.

Who’s calling the shots around here?

Jennifer: Rick, I’ve been waiting forever to get this contract signed.

Rick: Sorry, it’ll be ready for you by the end of the week.

Jennifer: Why is it taking so long? Your sales manager told me the deal had been approved.

Rick: Yes, but we need to get approval from our finance manager as well.

Jennifer: Oh my god! Who’s calling the shots around here?

Rick: Jennifer, please accept my apologies. I really thank you for your patience.
