I'm Emily.
0:17
>> Hello Emily. Hi everyone. I'm Paul and I
0:21
am so happy to be here with you today.
0:24
>> It is great to see you again Paul. How
0:26
are you doing today?
0:28
>> I'm doing much better today Emily. Today
0:31
is a good day.
0:32
But yesterday, yesterday was a very
0:35
difficult day for me.
0:37
>> Oh no, really? What happened yesterday?
0:40
You usually have very calm days.
0:43
>> I know, right? I usually have a simple
0:46
routine but yesterday morning my car
0:49
decided to stop working.
0:51
>> Oh my goodness, that is always so
0:54
stressful. Where were you when it
0:56
happened?
0:58
>> I was driving on the highway. I was
1:00
actually on my way to an important
1:02
meeting.
1:03
>> That is the worst time for a car
1:05
problem. Were you driving fast?
1:08
>> I was just driving normally and then I
1:11
heard a very strange noise. It sounded
1:14
like a loud bang under the car.
1:17
>> I hate strange car noises. They always
1:20
make me feel so nervous. What did you
1:23
do?
1:24
>> I immediately slowed down. I looked in
1:26
my mirrors and I drove the car to the
1:28
side of the road.
1:30
>> That was very smart. It is important to
1:33
be safe first. Did the car turn off?
1:36
>> Yes, it just stopped completely. I tried
1:39
to turn the key again but nothing
1:41
happened. It was completely dead.
1:43
>> Wow. So you were just sitting on the
1:47
side of the highway? Were there a lot of
1:49
other cars?
1:51
>> Yes, there was a lot of traffic.
1:55
Cars were driving past me very fast. It
1:59
was loud and a little bit scary.
2:02
>> I can imagine. It is not a good feeling
2:05
to be stuck there. What was the first
2:07
thing you did?
2:08
>> Well, first I took a deep breath.
2:12
Then I looked at my watch.
2:15
I realized I was going to be very late
2:18
for my meeting.
2:19
>> Oh, that is right. You had a meeting.
2:23
Did you call the person you were
2:24
meeting?
2:25
>> Yes, I picked up my phone right away.
2:29
I called my friend Mark.
2:32
We were supposed to meet for coffee and
2:34
talk about a project.
2:36
>> Was Mark understanding about the
2:38
situation?
2:40
>> Oh, yeah, totally. He is a very good
2:43
friend. He told me not to worry about
2:46
the meeting and to just stay safe.
2:49
>> That is very kind of him. It helps when
2:52
people understand that accidents happen.
2:55
>> Exactly.
2:56
So, after I talked to Mark, I had to
2:59
call for help. I had to call a tow
3:03
truck.
3:04
>> I have never called a tow truck before.
3:06
Was it difficult to find one?
3:09
>> It was a little difficult. I used my
3:12
phone to search on the internet. I found
3:15
a local company and called them.
3:17
>> Did they answer quickly? Sometimes you
3:20
have to wait on the phone for a long
3:22
time.
3:23
>> They answered fast, but they said they
3:26
were very busy. They told me I had to
3:29
wait for an hour.
3:31
>> An hour? That is a very long time to
3:35
wait in a broken car on the highway.
3:38
>> It really was, and the weather was not
3:40
great. It was very hot outside
3:43
yesterday.
3:43
>> Oh, no. Did your air conditioning work?
3:47
>> No, because the car was dead. So, I had
3:50
to open the windows, but the air outside
3:53
was so warm.
3:54
>> That sounds very uncomfortable. What did
3:57
you do for a whole hour in the hot car?
4:01
>> I just tried to stay calm. I drank some
4:04
water I had in my bag, and I listened to
4:07
some quiet music on my phone.
4:09
>> Music is a good idea. It helps to pass
4:11
the time. Did you think about what was
4:14
wrong with the car?
4:15
>> Yes, I thought about it a lot, and
4:18
honestly, I started to worry about the
4:20
money.
4:21
>> I completely understand that. Car
4:23
repairs are always so expensive. You
4:26
never know how much it will cost.
4:29
>> Exactly. I was sitting there thinking
4:31
about the mechanic's bill. Will it be a
4:33
small problem or a big problem?
4:36
>> It is the fear of the unknown. Not
4:38
knowing how much you have to pay is very
4:41
stressful.
4:42
>> It really is. I started to calculate my
4:45
budget in my head. It made me feel a
4:47
little bit anxious.
4:49
>> But you couldn't do anything about it in
4:51
that moment, right? You just had to
4:53
wait.
4:54
>> Yep, I just had to wait. Finally, I saw
4:58
the big yellow tow truck driving toward
5:00
me.
5:01
>> That must have been a great feeling.
5:04
Relief.
5:05
>> Total relief. The driver was a very nice
5:08
man named Dave. He was very friendly.
5:10
>> Friendly people make bad situations so
5:13
much better. Did he know what was wrong
5:16
with the car?
5:17
>> He looked under the hood for a minute,
5:19
but he said he couldn't fix it there. He
5:21
had to take it to the shop.
5:22
>> So, you had to ride in the tow truck
5:25
with him?
5:25
>> Yes, I got in the big truck. We talked a
5:28
little bit while we drove to the
5:30
mechanic.
5:30
>> Was the mechanic's shop close to where
5:32
you were?
5:33
>> It was about 20 minutes away. When we
5:36
got there, I had to leave my keys with
5:38
the mechanic.
5:39
>> Did the mechanic give you an idea of the
5:41
cost right away?
5:42
>> No, he said he was busy and needed time
5:45
to look at it. He said he would call me
5:47
later in the afternoon.
5:49
>> So, you had to go home and just wait for
5:52
the phone call. How did you get home?
5:54
>> I had to call a taxi. I stood outside
5:57
the shop and waited for another 20
5:59
minutes.
6:00
>> What a long morning. You spent your
6:02
whole morning just waiting for different
6:05
things.
6:06
>> Exactly. Waiting for the tow truck,
6:08
waiting for the mechanic, waiting for
6:10
the taxi. It was exhausting.
6:13
>> I totally understand. When things go
6:17
wrong, they take up so much time.
6:20
>> Yeah, they do. But, how was your week,
6:24
Emily? I hope it was better than my
6:26
Tuesday.
6:27
>> Well, actually, I had a very strange day
6:31
earlier this week, too. My Monday was
6:34
not great.
6:35
>> Really? What happened on Monday? Did you
6:38
have a car problem, too?
6:41
>> No, my car is fine, but I had a problem
6:44
inside my house. It was a problem with
6:47
my washing machine.
6:49
>> Oh, no. A broken appliance is always a
6:52
huge headache. What did it do?
6:55
>> I was doing my laundry in the morning. I
6:58
put all my clothes in, turned it on, and
7:01
went to the kitchen.
7:02
>> That sounds like a normal morning.
7:05
Did you hear a strange noise, too?
7:07
>> Yes, I heard a very loud banging noise
7:11
from the laundry room, and then it
7:13
stopped.
7:14
>> Just like my car. It made a noise and
7:17
stopped working. Did you go look at it?
7:21
>> Yes, I walked quickly to the laundry
7:23
room, and when I got there, I saw water
7:27
all over the floor.
7:28
>> Oh my goodness. Water on the floor is a
7:31
nightmare. It can ruin your house.
7:34
>> I was so shocked. I just stood there for
7:38
a second. The water was slowly moving
7:41
toward the hallway.
7:42
>> What you do? Did you turn off the water?
7:45
>> Yes, I quickly found the valve behind
7:49
the machine and turned the water off,
7:52
but the floor was already a mess.
7:55
>> That is terrible. How did you clean up
7:59
all that water?
8:00
>> I had to go to the bathroom and get
8:03
every towel I owned. I threw all the
8:06
towels on the floor to soak up the
