I hate passive aggression so much that doing that to me would guarantee a constant stalemate.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's the most desirous way to respond to a Kindly Brontosaurus? Blithe and Clueless Ankylosaurus?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ginger, if you have an ear syringe, you can gently flush the ear with a solution of peroxide in warm water, or dilute warm salt water. The warmth will feel good, the flush will rinse out any solid particles that might further irritate or itch, and the salt or peroxide will help disinfect. Follow with a dab of cortisone or bacitracin, or neosporin if you tolerate neosporin.
And I've done similar, embarrassingly frequently, but with no puncture. I do have a disposition to ear infections, though, and I gently pack an injured ear canal with cotton, in case of swelling. Had one swell shut once--never again. Packing was my doc-at-the-time's advice, and it's always helped. Funny hearing for the day or two it takes for the infection to clear, but worth it.

Dinosaur Comics must hold the answer to that somewhere.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Maddeningly Indifferent Apatasaurus.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I've been KB'd, and it makes me want to punch the offender in the face. Instead, I make eye contact back, smile, and walk away.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Oooh! Punch to the face was what I was going to say. IRL probably eyerolling and spiteful out-passive-aggressing.

Hey shrift I just realized that Ecuador will be playing France while we're in Quito.
Uh oh. That's going to be an interesting time.

Just Trying To Do Her Job Mammal is my normal mode. And if my job includes trying to keep customers happy (as it often has), I'm going to be trying to do that whether said customer is hovering nearby smiling benevolently or not (it occurs to me that benevolence implies power, no?)
Aren't brontosauri sort of mythical at this point?

That is awesome! Um, hopefully. :)
