The script was perfect. The timing was never right. The issue remains unresolved. The rehearsal was the only performance.
"Said "no offense" before the most offensive thing you've ever said"
"No offense" is a legal disclaimer for rudeness. The court found it unconvincing.
"Sent a meme without context at 1am"

"Avarice"
You had enough. Then you wanted more. Then more became the only thing.
"Brought up an old argument you "weren't bothered by" anymore"

"Clipped fingernails at your desk"
There is a bathroom. It has a door. The door closes. You chose the open floor plan instead.

A bread maker. For someone who does not bake. Who has expressed no interest in baking. Who now owns a bread maker.

The post was a dog wearing sunglasses. You wrote "this is so sad." The dog was fine. Everyone was confused.
