He doesn't like her cat

He's never available on Saturdays

He's always the last one to leave a party

Is there anything you did that you regret? If so, what is it, and why?

He's always helping his ex

He is always late

He forgets his wallet

Private-sector firms added just 37,000 jobs in May, the lowest total in more than two years - CNN

He always cracks his knuckles.
