College cringe
Back in the hippy-dippy 70's I lived in a vegetarian commune. I liked to cook and most of the others didn't, so that became my self-selected job. Not knowing how to cook, the other communists had no idea of the impossible and annoying things they were asking me to do ("Let's have an 8 course dinner every night!" "We're going to go completely vegan even though our budget doesn't run to fresh vegetables." "Why can't we eat on 70 cents a day?")

One day I was struggling with a huge fuckoff pan of broiling hot soup when a new guy wandered into the kitchen, stopped with his face within 1 1/2 inches of the shelves and interrupted me with "Do we have any napkins?"

I was furious he was a) interrupting me for no good reason and b) endangering my health with boiling broth and snapped, "They are right in front of your face you idiot, about 2 inches away! What are you, blind, fuckface?"

He turns to me and with horror I see the typical nystagmus (flickering of the eyes) of the legally blind. In the most self-righteous, dreadfully injured and put-upon tone he can muster he says, "Why, yes. Yes I am."


I never lived it down.
