Person A: stop staring at me Person B: I am not staring at you Person A : yes you are, everytime I look at you you are staring at me. Person B: i can say the same, everytime I look at you I find you are looking at me. So in which way can this argument be resolved. Let us not assume that Person A is female and B is a male as the female would have the upper hand in the argument and probably considered as more believable. ---

[Moderating] After watching the video footage of the argument, I find that… oh, wait, there’s no video footage. Well, then, based on past experience with this two people, it can be extrapolated that… er, no, it can’t, because we have no idea who the people are. In that case, based on… wait, what facts do we have to base anything on at all, here? Moving to IMHO, though I’ve a hunch the Pit might be more appropriate. ---

We were having lunch at Panera with my in-laws a while back, and at one point my MIL said “I wonder why that woman over there keeps staring at me?” My FIL piped up “She’s probably wondering the same thing!” 😃
