Oh I love when people do that.

"You can't make crispy bacon bowls in the goddamn microwave. That is not how microwaves or bacon work."

Ugh a call like that would be nightmarish. Mine just wrote letters... similarly cringey, but at least I didn't have to respond and they couldn't hear me laugh-raging.

You have a great mind for justice, sir

That is the worst cat. It can't even hunt birds properly like normal cats.

Ugh, yes.

So true. And you would be TOTALLY within your rights to get shitcanned and then beat the shit out of HIM, because, again, you would NEVER do such things sober!

I was being sincere. But thanks for the cookie.

Agreed. Thank you for listening to my experiences and acknowledging that they are different from your own.

Again, you are ignoring the issue of AUDIENCE. I've talked about this elsewhere:

I think the issue here (and reflected in the debate over this post) is one of intended audience.

This was beautifully put, thank you.

Cousin Steve? Is that you?
