Phillip gets an intervention, etiquette on going to a neighbors house, what it means to be Minnesota Nice, and the academic grading system doesn’t translate at all when using it to judge non-academic things (now isn't that obvious!)
Show Notes:
Why can’t I wear pajamas in the weekend at noon?
You always help people shovel in Minnesota
K Sera’s Afterthoughts:
- Lizard Sera has long nails and likes to paint them.
- Lizard Sera is shameless and hates wearing pants. She is a reptile of comfort and listless weekends.
- Minnesota Nice is probably a thing. There’s definitely a certain reserve to our niceness. As with any group, there are good and bad actors. Some of us are genuinely nice and are the type to help shovel out your plowed-in car in subzero temperatures at 4:30 am so you can get to work on time. Of course, there are also the people who put on a face to "keep up appearances" - and those people are… well, fake, but still better than the asshole who is actively making your life miserable. (Those people exist here, too.)
I guess, if you ever visit Minnesota, be prepared for random strangers in your vicinity smiling at you for no reason, making furtive eye contact, and possibly starting up a neutral conversation about the weather. Also be prepared for the ‘Ope’s.
Phillip’s Afterthoughts:
I seriously did not see this topic coming at all, kudos to K Sera’s sneak attack! Well played K Sera, well played.
