NO ONE got "huffy" with you.
I remember the phrase "How would you have handled the situation?" somewhere in a certain PM.
But perception is 99% of everyone, so please feel free to live in your "world" with your "perceptions."
It's a lot easier than having a little reality creep in.
"I say YOU'RE the CUTEST one. No, I say YOU'RE the CUTEST One. And we go on like that from dawn to three."
