That reminds me. I was at the store a few weeks ago, and there was a girl of
about eight or nine following behind this guy. She was carrying her coat.
The guy turns around and angrily asks, "Who told you you could take off your
coat?!" She just said, "But I was hot."
Not whining, not asking anyone to carry it for her, and she got yelled at
because she didn't ask permission to take off her coat.
