Okay, so here's an admitedly silly exhange that I had yesterday morning that has left one person pissed of at me for what I hope you will agree is an entirely trivial reason.
Here's the setup: I eat the same thing for breakfast pretty much every day: two scrambles eggs, two pieces of raisin toast, a banana/apple, and a small container of milk (yay for balance!). I always have butter on my toast, which is stored on ice so it doesn't melt. It's too difficult, however, to spread such hard butter onto one's toast without tearing the hell out of it so, while waiting for my toast in the toaster, I set the container of butter on my eggs to soften the butter.
Makes sense, no?
So after doing all this and paying for it, I sit down with one of my friends and begin to butter my toast. Just as I begin to put the melty butter on my toast, she says, "You know, that looks really disgusting."
I replied with, "It's pretty rude to make comments like that about somebody's food."
Her retort: "It's not food, it's butter."
My response: "Right, which I'm putting on my food and then into my mouth."
After this, she pretty much got up and we said bye and I assumed nothing was wrong.
Boy, was I wrong times ten! I go to sit with her at supper time and she totally avoids eye contact and responds really nastily to every effort I make at conversation. Here's the most prominent of these exchanges:
[she hadn't gone to dance class at 9:30 because she had a rehearsal, and therefore probably didn't know that Thursday's and Friday's classes were cancelled]
Me: Oh hey. Just letting you know that [the teacher]'s out of town on Thursday and Friday so there won't be any class.
Her: I'm aware.
Me: Ooookay. Well how'd your rehearsal go?
Her: Fine.
Me:
Her:
Me: Well, see ya later.
Her:
Cold as ice!
So here's my question: was she being rude and is she overreacting or was I a dickface for no apparent reason? Just curious. ^_^
