You’ve probably heard the expression, “well that escalated quickly” when a conversation goes from 0 to 60 on the confrontation scale in no time flat.

10. I was ready to go after “no sugar.”
You?
30 days you will be unrecognizable

11. Not exactly a feather in your cap.

Y’all. People are really something, aren’t they?
