So in this case you get to tell them what fruit to eat?<br /><br />Not as satisfying as I'd like though, because it does nothing to make me happy if someone else is eating my preferred fruit, and it isn't strong enough to elicit schadenfreude.impudent strumpethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05599784976599854538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4121962.post-86154981994259078692014-05-04T15:48:53.960-04:002014-05-04T15:48:53.960-04:00It's the shoulds that makes it so annoying, fo...It's the <i>shoulds</i> that makes it so annoying, for me. If I said I was looking for apples that were similar to Cortlands, and that made you think *fruit*, and you said, "I don't know too much about apples. But blueberries are great right now," it would be a conversation - not an assumination.<br /><br />Have you thought of any natural consequences?
