High Maintenance? If You Have to Ask . . .

A friend of mine asked if I thought she was high maintenance.

A simultaneous guttural laugh eye-roll combo did not seem to do the trick, so I followed it with a standard, "Are you serious?" before having to resort to concrete examples:
  • If you ran the postal service, mail may be delivered on sunny Thursdays in leap years.
  • Are you kidding? "High maintenance" looks like an ant from your orbit.
  • Yeah, they call you high maintenance -- someone would have to be high on drugs to think they could maintain you.
  • Your existence disproves the "6 degrees of separation" theory. You are not within 23 degrees of separation from the Maytag Man.

She argued that running the post office was beneath her.
