I got cold feet


Lenka: So did you ask the boss for a raise?
Lukas: I couldn´t get past "how are you".
I went into the office and I got cold feet. I was all set to ask him nicely and show him that I deserved it but I lost my nerve at the last moment.
Lenka: That´s a shame. How did it end?
Lukas: He thanked me for my visit, I smiled and left.
Lenka: Beautiful performance. You should write a textbook on office etiquette.

You´ve put your finger on it



Lenka: Tell me Lukas, why can´t I keep a man for more than three months?
Lukas: You´re too demanding, too strict, you leave them at the slightest imperfection and overall you expect too much.
Lenka: That´s it! Lukas, you just put your finger on it! You really understand my situation.
Lukas: So does that mean you´re going to change?
Lenka: Of course not, I just wanted to hear what I´m doing right.
