“I’m interested”…..Actually means: I wish I could buy it. But I won’t.

“Do you have more pictures”…..Actually means: I’d like to waste your time with more
photos, and info before I Never buy anything.

“I want it, can you hold it for me?”….Actually means: Can you hold it 2 weeks to a month, and then I won’t show up to buy anyway.

“How many do you have?”…..Actually means: Get a count of all you have, But I’m only
looking for 1.

“Where are you located?”…..Actually means: You don’t live within 10 miles of my house, so I’m not buying.

“I need to ask my spouse.”…..Actually means: I’ve never discussed it with my spouse,
so I’m going to waste your time before I try to get approval. (Which Never happens)

“Is it good with kids?”…..Actually means: My kids are brats that I can’t control, but I’m
going to turn them loose on this little animal.

“Is it current on shots?”...Actually means: I don’t use a vet. If I have a problem, I ask a question on FB, and beg others to support my gofundme account, because I can’t afford a vet bill.

“Would you meet?”….Actually means: Meet me at the gas station by my house, so I
don’t have to drive more than a couple miles.

“Is delivery included?”….Actually means: I want you to spend $40.00 in gas to deliver
a $20.00 animal to me.
 
There is only one of the aforementioned that I've ever said to anyone, and not exactly the way it's stated on the translation guide. I have said, "Let me talk to my spouse about it." That translates into me informing him I'm spending X amount of money out of the bank account, so don't make plans for it. Although the first time I said it to someone in regards to buying stock, they assumed it meant I was going to actually ask for approval that I'd never get. They were so shocked, when I drove across the state, and not only had the price we had talked about, but when I got there, they jacked up the price a little, and I paid it.
