There's nothing wrong with clowning around and trying to humor your way into social situations. But there's a point where you're not "just being cheeky" anymore and turn to an actual dick no one wants to be around. |
What does me being american have to do with anything?
And of course the guy was being a dick, a douche, an annoying asshole. But it wasn't intentional. Lacking self awareness is one thing. Intentionally being a dick is another. And if your response to someone who clearly needs some help understanding social interaction is to not just push them away but be mean to them, then I will respect your decision. As I said in my original post, that's fine if that's what Layton wants to do. But I will have sympathy for the other party. And it's not because i'm an american who loves fire starters! It has nothing to do with that. Besides, I would say that I've been in Layton's specific scenario multiple times, and never the other way around.
