My exact words to him when I finally laid down in bed and met his horizontal gaze

Since you have experience with this gentleman, why do you suppose he has an “x” on his butt? I thought it would be a “tap here to turn on” thing but you can just spank him anywhere and he turns on

Yes!!

If he weren’t the equivalent of a nightlight, which should arguably be quack free, I’d definitely agree

Yeah, two me’s would just amplify my indecisiveness to an unbearable level, I think we’d just explode together

I’m so sorry, that sounds awful to see :/ Try to remember him as the whole of his life, the last bit was only a blip of what I’m guessing was an otherwise long and happy life

I would like to kiss those paws please

Snacks

When I was a kid I won a trip for 4 people to Washington DC (plane and hotel) plus $500 spending money for the trip from entering a contest I found on the back of a Cheerios box. It was a mail-in entry and I had entirely forgotten about it but weeks later I got a letter saying I won. My parents had no idea I entered and thought it was junk mail at first but were super excited when they realized it was real. Everything went smoothly and we got a fantastic family trip and memory out of it.

Not sure, we’re mostly self employed and really work out at the end of the day

I want nothing more than to sporadically think of this throughout the day today

Edit: Imagine my equal delight and disappointment to realize we weren’t talking about actual tiny dragon toys

Maybe you just didn’t piss him off enough, try harder

I feel you, the anxiety of the constant talk about it is overwhelming

Exactly this happened to my friend who is a quadriplegic, some asshat parked on the striped lines next to her and she couldn’t get in her car because there was no space for the ramp. She posted a great video at the time showing visually why you should never park in the stripes.

It’s a Christmas scented ash they leave behind, most unsettling

Agreed, as a whole we need to stop the argument line of reasoning that one alternative is at the expense of another, and then admonishing one because it’s not the “better” of the two options. Multiple things can happen at once, progress isn’t necessarily linear.

I don’t care what anyone says, I stand with Comic Sans!!

Didn’t have it on my Bingo card either

To me it seems clear this guy didn’t actually know the answer to your question and his ego was too large to just say “I’m so sorry I don’t have a great answer for that but I’ll introduce you to Professor Yada Yada who can better answer that”. I’ve had similar experiences within the medical community where a doctor’s ego prevented me from being able to find someone who understood and could genuinely treat a chronic condition I have while simultaneously making me feel like utter shit mentally. Realizing this person’s ego was too big for them to just admit that they don’t know the answer alleviated a lot of the self-imposed responsibility surrounding the situation.

Basically this guy is a narcissistic asshat who’s also an idiot (the worst possible combination of traits). Your question was genuinely a good and thoughtful question. The burden of this failed interaction is on him, not you.

Love this comment :)
