Maybe because it's gone from a common courtesy to feeling like a gift and therefore somewhat patronizing?

It DOES! It feels SO patronizing, especially from Chatty, because he has such a constant air of noblesse oblige anyway.

I think you could break a Canadian just by littering in front of them.

::envisions the Quebec scenario, where the litter, of course is unilingual and English::

Why don't you give that a try, Hec?

I don't know...never thought about it. Lest Tep think she's alone in this kind of crazy, I hate when I ask "Would you mind..." and the other person says Okay. Because you're really supposed to say "No." if you don't mind.

Teppy, is it anything like the wrong I feel when the fridge light goes out? Because we can have power out and the whole neighborhod is dark, and we do without power all day, cooking on the camp stove and lighting candles and Coleman lamps at dusk, and *still*, when I open the fridge door and the light doesn't go on, "Something's *wrong!*"

Wrong like that? Or just because it feels a little arrogant and entitled to you?

Not Wanted-ma, Epic.

My ex-minon calls me The Professor.

Okay, spill: MaryAnn. Sunshiny girl next door or secret wench of extreme lustiness?

Oh, and I've heard two things about the diuretic effect of tea: 1) Caffeine's diuretic properties are under debate and 2) You need to drink four or five cups of tea before the caffeine'd have any such effect.

Epic just called me a fat ass.

Dern right. If we can't see your skeleton, change your name to Chubbo.

See if I tussle with her, again.

Err, I mean, Cindy's the sveltiest!

Or just because it feels a little arrogant and entitled to you?

More wrong like this.

Why don't you give that a try, Hec?

I'm not looking!!

I would bet I say You're Welcome because that's my default after Thank You as well. Unless I'm in France. Then It's Nothing.

I knew RPG must not be what my first thought was as well. I don't even game. Glad everyone's ok though.
