Stop laughing. Right now.

Oh dear, too late.

Too little too late; a day late and a dollar short. The story of my life summed up right there.

I'm sorry, it seems I've taken your misfortune and make it about me.


I had a client who was so good at this she made it an art form. Here's one particularly amusing example:

Dawn: "Something terrible happened to me at the grocery store yesterday."

Me: "What happened?"

Dawn: "I was standing in line to cash out and the guy in front of me punched the cashier in the face."

Me:

Me: "That must have been horrible for you. More so perhaps for the cashier?"

Dawn: "I was shaking all night. And I had to wait forever to pay for my groceries."
