Problem: He asked both of us where we were from ... twice . lol I think he was on uppers or something ... So then , we go back in , and the jam was no longer poppin ' , ya know ? So , we hitch to leave . We go to the lobby towards our dazzlingly creepy little elevator , and the door starts to close .

Why is the narrator being questioned by the man ?

A: He is flirting with them .

Problem: I know I ' m a few hours short but this day marks my first week of not smoking . It is SO FUCKING GREAT . I ' m doing it ! ! ! I feel like I am learning to walk on water and I just got in one little brief step without sinking and got to taste what the journey will be like when I master my skill .

What may happen if you quit smoking ?

A: I would experience more fulfillment .

Problem: I felt I really needed to see my therapist as I had n't seen him LAST week- and was unhappy that I was having problems sleeping AGAIN.So I was peeved that he canceled on me . This is not the first time he 's canceled on me . Granted we ' ve penciled in Saturday ... but it irks me that I had planned to see him and then he got sick .

Why may the therapist have cancelled the previous time ?

A:
He was feeling under the weather .
