>Continued like this for the next month of summer until the end of our job

normies are disgusting people

you did the right thing, OP

As that the end of it? Lol you should have just been honest from the beginning and told them they wouldn't like your music. Anyways, thanks for sharing your autism, it makes the rest of us feel a little less autistic.

Surprisingly not as deranged as it could have been

Why do people do this at least talk about if your gonna make such a big deal about it this is one of my pet peeves user

DERANGED?? LOL!

what do you mean exactly by, deRANGED? What was teetering on the edge of deranged about this?? You thought i was gonna take over the wheel and take her to hell?0.o
