The two little kids stopped by for another IT problem and they gave me a box of chocolates. I explained to them that, at my age, it is better to avoid sweets because it is hard to get rid of extra kilos. They did not want to take the box of chocolates back and I gave them a USB mouse and I fixed their problem.
A resident asked me for help with a box of wine he found in a cave. It is not worth much!

There was a serious problem with the sewer at building B and I set my mind to fix it:
2 enormous trucks blocked the whole “boulevard”
6 huge dudes came (twice my height and 3 times my size!)
They told me that they only followed orders from someone called “Mr Guedon” when I started to give them instructions and opened the front door of the building. I stood in my corner alone and I waited quietly until “Mr Guedon” came and “Mr Guedon”gave his instructions to the 6 men. He told two guys that they can leave since they are not really needed here now.
I said to “Mr Guedon” and the 6 big dudes:
“Please stay here until my problem is solved, I do not want to spend another day about this problem!”
The 6 big dudes were looking at “Mr Guedon” who accepted quietly. They said nothing but they understood that I was not only there to watch and to say nothing. I was there to check their work.

A weirdo tried to teach his 2 dogs how to behave when I came on my bike. One of the dog was freaking out when he saw my bike and the master shouted to him to bite my “huge thigh” (“mords les grosses cuisses! mords les!”). He was dead serious about that and he shouted several times the same thing to his freaky dog.
I was like .. “dUh! What the f*ck”
Luckily the dog was running away and he was scared by the bike but the master is a real werdo!

I noticed a decrease in the frequency of my lies in 2 situations:
1. Necessary lies: When I do interact with people in complicated deals that involve money. I always take harsh positions nowadays: do what I want now or go away!
2. Unnecessary lies: Most of the times, I noticed that I lied because I was afraid of the consequence if I were to say the truth. However, I did not really need to lie.
There is one simple way to avoid unnecessary lies: Always anticipate and accept the negative consequence of an answer. It takes however a lot of self-control and, of course, time to do so. You do not have time in real-life interactions therefore I try to make people talk a bit longer to allow myself to think.

Everytime I went to Chinatown in Paris, there are these Roms who tried to sell some fake Iphone 6. They look and function like an Iphone 6 but they are not the ones made by Apple. I took a photo of the back of one of them today and I checked the IMEI number. It was of course an invalid number, not even a stolen Iphone 6!
I was very tempted by a cheap stolen Iphone 6 though!

I wouldn’t want to mess around with my cousin Diane
Here is the “Skype transcript” when I learned that Diane bought a house. I did not really make a “salary comparison” because I did not remember what her husband “earned”. Anyways, I hope it clarifies a bit my opinion. I was not really thrilled to learn that my sister or my other cousin Anne bought expensive houses anyways so why would it be different for Diane. My little studio cost only 131 k and the bank would not want me to buy for more than 1/3 of my salary. Also my current net salary (after tax) is : 2540 Euros per month.

[02/07/2015 21:40:00] oubli: ya eu des morts et des heriatges du cote de Jonas ?

[02/07/2015 21:41:00] oubli: je me souviens pas que le salaire de Jonas depasse le mien
