Unexpected upside

Unexpected upside

I know it’s a cliche but… turns out dealing with bitchy geek internet trolls on a daily basis has prepared me perfectly for…

…dealing with my mother in law.

srsly.

I know she won’t like anything, I know the first word out of her mouth will always be to denigrate, I know nothing’s as good as this thing she used to have back home…

…and so I make no claims. I present stuff with perfect diffidence. Does she not like it? No problem, someone else does. Is she spoiling for a fight? That’s OK, I have other things to do.

The internet: a place innocent of politeness and social graces.

It has its uses.
