Aw, c’mon. The poor guy’s had a wrenching experience, and all y’all can do is rasp him about it. File that under “being a jerk”, IMO.

What really amused me is the fact that the OP brought the event up completely out of the blue, off topic, then pitted a completely harmless comment about it _two days later_.

What a fucking attention whore… I mean mitre saw.

Please, don’t spare us one riveting detail.
