Arguing with Sarah

SWEET: I have three main arguments with Sarah that we can never seem to get over. They always seem to come up and make me LOL like crazy.

1. The Scarf. The details are unclear -- I say it was at least 70 degrees out ... or it was at least a summer month ... when Sarah came waltzing in the office with a scarf on and everyone (i.e. me) was like, "What are you doing with a scarf on?" Sarah defends her decision vigorously, claiming it was 45 degrees and the scarf was her only source of warmth. Exibit A --

It was 45 degrees out Alice! Forty-five degrees! That's cold. And it was a scarf without a jacket. I was depending solely on the scarf for warmth. It was perfectly reasonable for me to be wearing a scarf in such conditions. PERFECTLY REASONABLE. And it was October! October is a very scarf-friendly month! (It was October wasn't it?)


2. The Hive. One day at the LTN, Sarah came up to me, pointed at her face and declared, "LOOK AT THIS ENORMOUS HIVE!" I responded with something like, "Wow" or possibly, "Ew." To which she responds, "GOD ALICE, IT'S NOT THAT DISGUSTING!" before turning on her heel and stalking off. In my defense, she came up to me going on and on about how gross it was! What was I supposed to say?

3. The Insult. Everyone knows that it's totally normal to talk trash during the game of beer pong. You know, "You'll never make that shot!" and "You're a horrible player!" Well, during one particularly heated match, Sarah busts out with "You suck as a person, Alice!" Everyone falls silent and looks at her. I burst into tears and run off. No just kidding. But I do bring it up all the time.

While I wasn't present for any of said events, here are my verdicts:
1. I gotta go with Sarah. It's August, 90 degrees out, and I could totally justify wearing a scarf in my office right now, let alone October.
2. Could go either way...but I'm leaning Alice.
3. This made me guffaw. That sounds bad, but I didn't see it coming and it caught me off guard. But whoa...low blow.

1. It was fall. It was cold. A scarf is acceptable.

2. You were supposed to say "It's not THAT bad" instead of looking at me like I had the bubonic plague. I was feeling very insecure and deformed.

3. Okay. Low blow. Point made.
