B) I hate sitting sideways, and sometimes it makes me bus sick. Why can't my "No thank you." be enough? Sometimes I sit down just because I feel like I'm about to be rude to someone who's being polite.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My CIO doesn't like Bob Marley and the Wailers. I judge.
And I judge you too, if you don't. It's a thing.

Because books.
There are people who don't like Bob Marley?

I am possibly the least machivellian person around. The best I can do is continue to cc my boss on everything, so he sees what's going on.
