cosmolinguistAndrew just walked out from the bathroom and hit me on the back of the head.
"What?!" Things have been my fault all morning--for saying "You might want to get dressed before you go to work" I was prejudiced against naked people, I was a bigot ... no, a smallot, because I'm tiny, and he was determined to end smallotry in all its forms--but the past few minutes, with me on the couch and him in the bathroom, had seemed reasonably peaceful. I couldn't imagine what I'd done to deserve such abuse. That's why I had to ask "What?"
"I've got 'You're My Favorite Waste of Time' stuck in my head, and I thought if I have to suffer everyone else does too!" he said.
"Oh." It was hard to argue. Not because he was right, but because I didn't know what he was talking about. I figured he'd explain, and he did, in his I've-only-had-one-coffee sort of way.
It ended with "I thought because you're American and never had to listen to Owen Paul is no reason for you not to share my pain."
