Michael: hahhaha
Michael: gross

Utter Contempt
I get what you’re trying to say, but no one’s really going to listen — least of all me — when you treat other folks like autistic three year-olds who can’t possibly comprehend the sophistication of your taste and your keen insight into the virtues of Italian craftsmanship.
P.S. Many factories in Italy are being staffed by Chinese immigrants, you pompous asslicker.

You have 10 seconds to comply.” I looked up, confused, and saw my teacher staring intently at me. He mouthed the word “Go” and tapped his watch. I mooed.
