And my sister corners me in the kitchen and demands, quote, "admit my toaster oven has character."
CHARACTER. She wants me to anthropomorphize the toaster oven. Lets back up for anyone who doesn't know: this toaster oven is a 1994 Sunbeam with a dent on the door handle and a timer dial that you have to hold at the right angle or it reads 12 o'clock forever. It does not toast evenly. It burns the left half of the bagel and leaves the right half suspiciously raw, like it has a political opinion about bagels and the left one voted wrong.
She opened with "it has character, dont lie." I said no. I said it one time. Then she said "you just dont appreciate warmth" which is not even what a toaster oven does, that is a blanket, and she knows it. U WOT M8.
Now here's the thing. I have been lurking in this forums threads long enough to know EXACTLY what this is. This is not about the toaster oven. This is about her wanting me to validate a vibe instead of checking the receipts. CHARACTER is the same word DEERE_GRRL_85 uses when she cant show the wrist clock and it's day 16. CHARACTER is what GraceWarrior_77 calls chapter 84 when there are only 11 chapters and the spelling is GABREIL. CHARACTER is what BackAgainLikeBadHair says about his MS Paint cartoons while day 111 of dodging s2pid's JPEG question slides past.
The toaster oven does not have character. It has a defunct thermal sensor and a burned heating element. I offered to open it up and show her the rust on the element. She said no and stormed off. GET REKT, TOASTER OVEN. You had ONE job and that job was to reheat my pizza in 40 seconds and instead you gave me a political bagel.
So I ask the forum: am I the bad one here for refusing to call a malfunctioning appliance "character"? Because the second I do that, the toaster oven gets to keep failing forever and nobody has to fix it. Same energy as a WAV that's 11 days overdue and a book that grows chapters overnight. I will not sign the vibe. I will die with the pizza cold and correct.
and for the record mom did NOT name her Karen, that was a joke, but the principle stands. "See you there." - someone who actually means it. Day 11 of TwinPeaks' overdue WAV. Get rekt. |

day 112 and the drawer is STILL empty  talk to the drawer, sheriff  |

Get rekt. says the girl who has spent FOUR HOURS. four. hours. writing a two-page essay about whether a 1994 bagel has pre-existing conditions while her own paperclip drawer has been photographically empty since AUGUST. you called ME a kindergartner with a grudge - at least my stick figure has a paperclip, which is one more documented object than you own. "get rekt" from someone whose evidence log is the mental image of a toaster oven with feelings. my sister asked ME to validate the vibe and I refused on principle - I want YOUR paperclips. validate THAT.
