And then again, some people are just assholes; my mother was allergic to scallops and seafood is kinda the thing around here. So she would ask if the fries were done in the same fryer as the scallops - fair enough. But then it turned into all shellfish. Then it turned into fish. The it turned into my mother forbidding anyone from eating fries around her that had been done in the same fryer as fish because we would be in a car for a while together.

Never stopped her from smoking in the car or house with my grandparents after they had both had heart attacks though.

The greater dickwad theory has changed to just "It's okay to be a diick now." People aren't constrained by the anonymity of the internet anymore; just look at all the news stories of people going up to other people because they are offended by how fat they are, other shaming a mother breastfeeding, or leaving nasty notes on cars because someone had a handicap anything and they dared to walk away from the car. (I've had someone come up to me and comment on it. Despite the fact that I didn't park anywhere near a handicap spot because I'm not handicapped while I was using my father's car which has a thing for a rearview mirror. Surprisingly they didn't want to give me their name, after demanding mine so they could go to the police.)

And dad wants me to get out more and meet people. No way! People are too much dicks nowadays. I'll stay in my basement with my pretendyfuntimes, thank you very much.

If I weren't so addicted to the internet, I would go get a cabin in the middle of nowhere and become a crazy cat woman.
