 I didn’t say that’s impossible.

If I could strike one word from the collective human lexicon, it would be ‘cope’ and any variation thereof - it’s widely abused and in the most inappropriate of contexts to boot. Thrown around all willy-nilly to the point of meaninglessness.

I said sure, that may happen but the annoying thing in and of itself wouldn’t be part of their core personality. Why did I say this? Because if it was, they would be an annoying person, and I do not like annoying people.
