Bonus episode #150 – Rage quitting

Have you ever tried to buy something online and everything went completely wrong? That’s exactly what happened to Andrew when he tried to book a simple plane ticket online! In this episode, Andrew tells you two funny stories: one about his epic battle with credit card verification systems that led to a complete “rage quit,” and another about a confusing elevator situation that made him question basic social manners.

These stories are full of natural English expressions and vocabulary that you’ll hear native speakers use when they’re frustrated, telling personal stories, or discussing everyday social situations.
