What's the point of this? The OP didn't even mention New York. I love NYC too but why don't you go appreciate it somewhere where it's the actual subject of discussion? Unless you just enjoy shitting on DC in its own sub for sport or something, in which case, you do you I guess 🤷‍♂️

Idk man, seems like both of you were digging in when you could have just as easily admitted that you weren't very clear and could have constructed your sentence better. This whole thing could have ended after one comment with a "my bad, I can see how you might've read that from my comment, let me rephrase" and an edit to the original comment.

And no, no one was "calling you on technicalities," you were legitimately misunderstood by someone, and then they dug in because your first instinct was to insult their reading comprehension ("learn to read critically dude") instead of just clarifying what you actually meant.

I'm sure this won't be received positively since you're on the defensive, so I'll bow out here. Just posting this because we all get this way on Reddit from time to time and I find it's useful to get a heat check from someone when I need to tone it down. Have a great day.

So, I mean, here's what you said:

>so I pulled up a car length’s ahead of him at the light. 🤔

>Just pointlessly aggro driving. I horned that dude for like 5 solid seconds

So if I'm rereading REALLY carefully, after already being supplied additional context by you, I can see that you technically did not specify when you "horned that dude." However, given that you decided to place that sentence immediately after the sentence about pulling up ahead of the driver at the light, and didn't supply any additional information about when you used your horn, most reasonable people would have inferred that you used your horn after the fact, at the light.

Like, if you wanna say you're technically right, fine, you're technically right that you never said you horned the dude at the light. But don't blame it on our reading comprehension, it was at best an ambiguous statement that easily could have been construed the way that two separate people did in fact construe it.

In the one anecdote you provided to make your point, this is exactly what you did. Can't blame them for thinking that's what you normally do when that's the only thing you've described doing in relation to the subject.

Lol I went to the Mellon one last year - it was like a high school prom dance event but with 1,000+ late 20s/early 30s yuppies instead. It was complete trash, the catered food was garbage, and I immediately got COVID for the first time right after. I don't remember exactly how much it cost because my pyscho ex bought the tickets for us, but I think it was at least $200 for mine. Good stuff haha
