I just remembered a second conversation today that could have irked me, but it's all about context.
My mentor/friend Jim and I were chatting via IM. I mentioned I'd done a little shopping and he asked me if I'd bought something shiny.
I told him that big girls didn't need to wear shiny things because they're unforgiving.
He replied:
"You're not a big girl...you just laugh like one."
Now, I don't really know what to make of that, except that I love it.
I do have a big, fat laugh.
Point being, if I like you, you can get away with more. That's all, really.
