(no subject)
Just because you're trying to be useful, doesn't mean I'm going to fall over myself thanking you. No, I do not need anything. No, do not hover and try to pressure me into saying I need something I don't actually, just so as you can feel important and validated.
Quiz!
If I clutch my head and ask you to speak quieter, the appropriate response is:
a) Speak quieter
b) Speak louder
c) Speaker louder and shriller, instructing me on how impolite my request ("can you speak more quietly?") is, and how ungrateful I am for your (failed) attempts to help me until I run to the washroom and throw up.
If I come out of the washroom after barfing in response to your loud, shrill, voice, the appropriate response is to:
a) Apologise
b) Make a nasty remark and leave
c) Lecture me (loudly and shrilly) on how rude it is to run off when someone is speaking to you until I throw up again.
If you picked c both times: Congratulations! You're my mother!
