VIDEO I'm friends with this older lady on fb, and I see her all the time at a store I frequent. Everytime we speak I feel like I'm using a dialogue wheel cuz all her fb statusus are SUPER dramatic, and I try to phrase everything in a way that ensures she doesn't go off on a rant.
Like one time her car broke down on her birthday, and she was complaining on fb that it ruined everything. I saw her the next day, and I didn't want to be a jerk and not say "hey, happy birthday" but I knew if I did, she'd start complaining and I don't wanna hear that shit. So I went with the "hey, guess you had a kind of reserved birthday huh." The logic being that she would recognize I knew of her circumstance, and therefore NOT go into a rant of complaining. But nooo she took it as an insult and asked "are you being serious? My car broke down, I know you saw my updates right...?" And I was like "ok"
