Jango and his family had been
living in New Hampshire for three months. It was wintertime, and they were
amazed at how cold it was getting, especially when the sun went down. Despite
turning their heater all the way up, they still had to put their kids to bed in
snow clothes to keep them from freezing. Jango called the landlord, who
couldn’t guess what the problem was. Finally, one day Jango was looking at the
windows and realized that in New Hampshire, some windows can open from the top
or the bottom. The windows were all cracked open at the top behind the
curtains. Jango realized that every day a train came by, vibrating the windows
and sliding them down. Jango closed all the windows, and within five minutes
the house was boiling hot.

Timbo was an American who lived in Germany. One day he and
his friend got on a train with their bicycles. The driver kicked them off,
saying there was not enough room for bikes. Timbo was an irritable person, and
went to the customer service desk to rant. Being American, he instinctively
used formal German pronouns during his venting. There was nothing they could
do, of course, because the train had already left. So they went on the next
one. Later, Timbo’s friend Tümbe said that her neighbor worked at the train
station and said that she had talked to them. Her neighbor had said “They came
to me with a problem about our service, but they were so polite!”

Domba went on a date one night with a young man she knew
from school. At the end of the date, he sent her a text message that read “Thank you for going out with me, Domba! Want to
do it again sometime?” Having also had a great time, Domba replied with
an appreciative “No, thank you!” The
boy never called her again.
