Seriously, the ability to clearly explain that people are being childish is a valuable skill. I was thinking I should pay you to come down and have an intervention where you could tell my friends to stop being thoughtless, and me to stop being bratty and passive-aggressive.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Lee! Be drunken with me! (It'll take another scotch for me.)
I can do this, though it may take a while for me to catch up. Maybe I should have a shot of tequila to go with the beer.
Actually, that sounds like a really good idea.

I work a helpdesk frequented by prima donnas. While in that capacity, I am so much more diplomatic, I suspect it saps my ability to deal with juvenile behavior. No tolerance for it. Plus, I really hate getting embroiled in conflict. I'm really really averse to it. What got me coherent was not wanting a 67 year old woman, with a history of heart attacks, spending the night on the freaking stairwell. WTF was her sister thinking!?

Snerk.
I was thinking, "I may never have to share the bathroom again!'

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, you guys, I went to the worst party tonight...

Did they kill a caterer just to watch him die?
Wait, that wouldn't make it the worst party, that would be hi-larious.
Did they kill good conversation just to watch it die?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Trying to figure out how to worstify a party.
If horrible things happened and they didn't involve people you knew, that would probably be entertaining.
So I'm guessing it was boring andd the food was bad.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
