Oh heck. Shux. Shute. Shit. Uh-oh. Not everything is logical. It went down the drain. I almost made it. Do something. I'm so busy. This task is too much for me. I can't make ends meet on my small salary. This is the last straw. Your response is unacceptable. I'm not satisfied with his answer. He's got a chip on his shoulder today. Play fair. What a waste of time and money. You're too generous. He told me all about it. What's taking so long? I can't make it in ten minutes. He looks down on me. You're good for nothing. It drives me crazy. Is that all? That's not enough. He's unfair to me.





No more excuses. I've heard enough of your excuses. I don't want to hear any excuses. That's not a good excuse. What's the big idea? Don't give me any lip service. Don't tell me what to do. I'm mad. That's disgusting. You're getting on my nerves. Don't make fun of me. Don't be upset. I've run out of patience. What nerve! How impudent you are to say such a thing? What he says offends me. We've got to get even. I wasn't born yesterday. Don't think you can make a fool out of me. You're making fun of me. That's asking too much. He has a quick temper. Who do you think you're talking to? Do you have anything to say? I won't let you have your own way. That's blackmail.





Don't insult me. You're a filthy liar. You'll be sorry. Are you crazy? Don't look at me like that. I want to get even with him. That sneaky low life creep. It's not. It's too. Have it your way. It's boring. Dull. It's for the birds. I'm not interested. It's nothing great. I'm not satisfied. It was just another meeting. I can't get into my work. It's outdated. Give me a break. I can't stand it. That's enough. Have a heart. The more I hear about it, the more disgusted I get. There she goes again. Oh, man. I don't want to hear it. Now what? Shut up. Don't be a backseat driver. Stop shouting. Stop complaining. Calm down, will you? Stop nagging. Get off my back. Don't talk back to me. Big mouth. Leave me alone. None of your business. Who asked you? I can't talk to you now. I don't need your help.





Get out of here. Get out of my face. Back off. Don't bother me. Are you trying to get rid of me? That's a lie. Don't lie to me. Stop joking. I've had enough of your nonsense. Stop putting us on. Don't act stupid. Don't be silly. That's stupid. Don't pull my leg. Take it back. I don't want to hear any more of your lies. Did you make up a story? Don't play dumb. You tricked me. None of your tricks will work on me. You coward. Nobody is perfect. Stingy. Fuck you. You asshole. Christ. You beast. You tomboy. You sly dog. Hey ugly. Fatso. Shorty. What an ungrateful man. You low life. Stop trying to be cool. Calm down. Take it easy. Don't get so uptight. Don't be so stiff. Kick back. Take your time. There's no need to rush.





Let's make up. Did you make up? Stop fighting. Can't we talk it over? Try to get along. Let's forgive and forget. You've got me. I've beaten you. I didn't mean to hurt you. I missed you. I get lonely easily. Can't you patch things up?
