Today, I found myself in an annoying situation that I'll call dawizgew. I bet many of you have been in the same situation and found it equally annoying. | ||

Were you in a tent? a gazebo? some similar structure? Does dawizgew occur at a particular time of day? a particular time of year? anytime at all? Does it occur during a particular activity (such as shopping, reading, etc.)? Does it ever occur when someone is alone? Could this have occurred 50 years ago? 100? 500? Is technology relevant? | ||

Were you on the street at the time? In a park? At a concert? Somewhere else? Would you find it equally annoying if you are alone? Could it even occur if you are alone? Could it occur indoors too? Does it involve: smelling something? tasting something? seeing something? feeling something? hearing something? | ||

Were you on the street at the time? thisish, needs to be more specific In a park? At a concert? Somewhere else? Would you find it equally annoying if you are alone? yes Could it even occur if you are alone? there's always another relevantish person/relevantish people... well, this sounds somewhat confusing, so just assume that I was alone, and the rest will be more clear when you've found out more about the situation Could it occur indoors too? yes for svv of indoors Does it involve: smelling something? tasting something? seeing something? this feeling something? hearing something? and sometimes this too | ||

is the train delayed in leaving the station? is the train leaving early? did you miss it? did you have to run to get on it? was it too crowded to get on? had they closed the doors so you couldn't get on even though it then didn't leave right away? | ||

is the train delayed in leaving the station? no is the train leaving early? it could be did you miss it? yes! did you have to run to get on it? no was it too crowded to get on? no had they closed the doors so you couldn't get on even though it then didn't leave right away? it's not as annoying as that, although I hate that too. Ok, we're almost there (: Dawizgew involves missing a train, but try to be a lil bit more specific. Good questions, shez! | ||

Did the doors close right as you reached the train? in the case of dawizgew that I experienced yesterday, yes, but not necessarily. Anyway, I think you guys are close enough for me to declare the ********SPOILER******** Dawizgew is a near-acronym of the German phrase "Das wäre Ihr Zug gewesen"* ("This would have been your train"). It describes the annoying situation of arriving at a train station or bus stop, maybe running for the train or bus, and seeing it leave the station. Thanks for playing! (: * "Das wäre Ihr Zug gewesen" is a variation of the phrase "Das wäre Ihr Preis gewesen" (This would have been your price), a catchphrase from an 80s TV game show that is still wildly used in situations like this.} | ||

That is really annoying! A few days ago that happened to someone I saw but the bus driver was kind and stopped the bus again for her. |
