Me to dude sitting at machine reading his smartphone: Can I use this machine?
Dude: Sorry I just started using it.
Me: You've been trying to start five minutes ago, buddy.
Car audio guy: Subarus are notorious for this.Your speakers are fine. Replace the head unit and you'll get decent sound.
Me: okay, let's do that.
<later>
Car audio guy: Done! This'll give you lots of sound, and it'll blast anything you throw at it.
Me: Hey Google, play Merzbow.
Car audio guy: HANG ON A MINUTE
Work:
Me: we won't be able to get this completed today. We'll finish off when you get back from hols.
Colleague: No, it's fine. I'll can pop into the office tomorrow and we can do [task that needs the two of us] it then. I'm on leave, but I'm staying local so I'll come in and we can do it.
Me: I'm not going to interrupt your down time. That's not right.
THE ORGANISATION DOES NOT OWN YOU. YOU OWE THEM NOTHING.

Me at 20: Why would that famous tech luminary retire early to go make art? Tech is great, I love programming, I can't believe I get paid for it.
Me at 50: Oh.
I come home buzzing from a pub meeting.
Kiddo upset there are no snacks in the house. I show him the almond biscotti beside the coffee machine, he goes to get it.
Me: "Beef Jerky? Is good you know!"
He stares at me in silence.
Me: "Hello l! I am Inga von Sweden."
He is suspicious.
"Ja, for sure, lederhosen von Sweden. Please to help me with my rucksack."
He is munching biscotti not removing his eyes from me wondering if I have lost my mind and if I am dangerous.
@taedryn Oh, I know it.
Me hours before I shave my legs: "I hate what testosterone has done to my body. What a fucking stupid hormone. I hate everything."
Me an hour after I shave my legs: "((incessant touching the smoothness)) Aaaaaah....I forgot what I was cranky about."
