More input from normal people, please.
As Lloyd was giving me a ride to work this morning, he flicked on the wipers. “I’m going to need new wipers soon,” he said.
Me: “Didn’t you just buy new wipers?”
Lloyd: “No.”
Me: “We just put wipers on this thing.”
Lloyd: “Wipers wear out.”
Me: “How often do you replace them?”
Lloyd: “About twice a year.”
Me: “TWICE A YEAR?! That’s crazy!”
Lloyd: “The rest of the world likes looking through clean, clear glass.” (Then he gives this pointed look at my glasses, which have a perpetual film of yuck on them. What? I can’t see the spots, and they soften the light for me – like I’m always watching a romantic movie. Or a flashback.)
Me: “Normal people do not change their wipers that often.”
Lloyd: “Yes, they do.”
Me: “No, they don’t.”
Lloyd: “Get out of the car.”
Me: “Nice.”
Lloyd: “No, we’re at your work.”
Me: “Oh. Bye. Have a good day.”
So, normal people, what say you?
