It’s ok, you’re safe here despite your disability.

Goddamnit.

Now you’re getting a followup story of how such a small incident fucked with me years later.

I was with my (at the time) gf in our apartment and I don’t remember the exact specifics, but I was sitting looking at the TV straight-on ie the proper viewing angle. She was sitting on our floor looking up at the TV at like maybe a 45 degree angle.

I can’t remember the show or what it was, but on the screen there were some pastel colors. All I mentioned was like “oh, pastel colors. You like those colors.” She was drawing at the time, so it was somewhat relevant. Anyway she looks at the TV, from the bad angle still, and snaps at me “those aren’t pastel you fucking idiot!” And it was like that spinning shit in a movie of me in my head like “no…no…that test was wrong!” Normally we kinda went back and forth like this. Kinda like Vinny and his gf in that movie “my cousin Vinny” but less toxic and less Italian (same thing?). This time though I was just like “but… uh… the angle…” she kinda kept saying I was wrong for a few minutes before I finally tested it myself and then told her to stand and all was revealed. I was not an idiot after all.

And that goddamn test was wrong!

Yes. I went from shitty tv and a gf to great tv and no gf. Not sure how to measure this.

You'll also have an awesome gf soon, my man, I believe in you

I imagine telling her to stand up and see from a different wasn't your very first thought because of how off-guard her rebuke caught you? Still, seems you acted fast, or that scene with the pastels was very long

Pretty sure it either QVC (the sales channel) or some cartoon with those colors for art. Probably the former. Shit was a long time ago.
