Day 23 What Drivers You Crazy

Hi, I’m Vanessa from speakenglishwithvanessa.com. Today, I’d like to tell you a story about something that drives me crazy. Let’s get started.

As many of you know, during the month of May, 2015, I was working really hard, creating the course “30 days of English”. Several days in a roll, I was filming the videos, the 30 videos for the course with my husband or by myself. And sometimes when I was filming videos, something happened that drove me crazy. What is this? Well, I have two cats. One cat is Sami, you’ve already seen him in my video about April Fool’s Day. He’s 15 years old. He’s not too older frail, but he loves to meow. Sami cats are really famous for being really vocal and loud. Some people think they sound like a baby because they are so loud. And can you guess his favorite time to meow loudly. In the middle of my videos. Oh, how wonderful. Em, it’s not wonderful.

So, one time when I was trying to film a video, it was a day when I decided I was going to film. Several videos at one time, so I was really motivated, I was ready to film. Every time, that I have filmed about one minute of the video, the cat, his name is Dodge, he started to meow really loudly. So, I had to stop the video and started again so many times. It drove me crazy. I felt like I was going crazy.

So I want to share the story with you because the expression “drive me crazy” is a great expression to use if you want to talk about something that’s annoying and frustrating. But it’s not too serious, maybe it’s a little funny or like a little joke. So, you can use the expression “drives me crazy” in the situation like this. My cat was driving me crazy. His meow was driving me crazy. I couldn’t get him to stop meowing in the middle of my filming of the videos. So, my question for you is “what is something that drives you crazy?” When was the time that something was driving you crazy?

Leave the comment below and head over to my website here where you can see some more examples of this expression “drive me crazy”. And I hope you use this in your daily conversation. Thanks so much for watching and I’ll talk to you later. Goodbye.
