TRANSCRIPT
Holy [beep] it's cold! Hello this is Jack from tofluency.com Now, I just met my friends in the coffee shop and if you saw one of my videos this week, it's the same friend that I ran into while I was on the way to work.
So, we met in the coffee shop, we talked about a few things, about life at home about children and also about business. Now, when he left to go home I decided to stay for a little bit and do a little bit of work - respond to emails, do those types of things, and while I was doing that I was listening to a conversation. Or better... it's better said, I overheard the conversation.
Now, during the conversation one of the girls said this: "It drives me insane when people write in upper case" so, when people write with caps lock on. Now, if something drives you insane it means that it really really annoys you and you'll also hear people say: it drives me crazy when people do this; it drives me crazy when people do that.
So, for me, it drives me crazy - and I prefer to use the word crazy - it drives me crazy when you buy something really simple and it doesn't do what it's meant to do. For example, if you buy a toaster and regular bread won't fit in that toaster - it drives me crazy because it only has one function to have bread in the toaster. When I was a kid it used to drive my dad crazy when anyone was chewing loudly when anyone chewed loudly. I think that drives a lot of people crazy. And another example is, it drives my friend crazy when people don't throw away their trash - when people just leave it or throw their trash on the floor. That really drives my friend crazy.
So, right now i am walking back home from the coffee shop and my wife and I are going to get some lunch together and then we don't have big plans for the weekend - we're going to a party on Sunday because it's nearly Christmas - but we're not sure what we're going to do tomorrow, but let me know in the comments section two things: what you have planned for this weekend or the next weekend, and also tell me what drives you crazy; what drives you
insane; what really annoys you. So thank you for watching this video, I hope you enjoyed it, share if you found it useful, and see you in the next lesson.
