That’s a really poetic way to phrase a really shitty feeling, by the way. > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > the American Embassy **does** microwave their water Please tell me they named their microwave “The Harbor.” > [@LSLGuy](#): > > And on exactly the rocks of these sorts of utter misunderstandings did our marriage fail.
