In A Name

My Mom and Dad steadfastly believe in furnishing all persons with the benefit of the doubt.

Personally, I find blind agreement much less taxing.

Former Roommate Miles: "My boss just called me Matt." 

Me: "Those kinds of slipups happen all the time." 

Former Roommate Miles: "But she did it repeatedly." 

Me: "Maybe she was talking about someone else." 

Former Roommate Miles: "She pointed right at me and said, "Just ask Matt. Matt will know what to do."" 

Me: "New faces are always difficult to remember." 

Former Roommate Miles: "I've been working here for three years." 

Me: "Is she new?" 

Former Roommate Miles: "Nope. She hired me." 

Me: "Maybe she was jus…" 

Former Roommate Miles: "Give it up. She's a bitch." 

Me: "A total bitch. I hate her."
