    The number of times I’ve been told “you’re allowed to have feelings, but maybe express those feelings in another place” is too damn high.

    Mostly by my ex wife.

      Sir, I am sorry we can’t sell you a shamrock shake…this is a Wendy’s.

      Sobs uncontrollably.

      I know it wasn’t anything like this, but for some reason this is one of the scenarios I imagined.

        See, that’s what I would classify as maybe an emotional response that doesnt match the situation normally.

        If someone did do that, clearly they are going through shit a lot worse than shamrock shakes not being Wendy’s things. And I probably still wouldn’t tell them to find another place to cry.

        From my experience, this would evoke an unusually extreme rage response.
