It's Febreeze. I know I'm being a stupid spelling nazi but I swear everyone spells it wrong and for some reason it drives me crazy. I have similar feelings about Scünci from my youth, but that battle has long been lost.

I mean… No offense or anything but I really don’t care if I mis-spell a brand name. It’s super unimportant in the grand scheme of things. It’s.. all just stupid marketing anyway, and if they cared, they would have used a smarter spelling.

What I am concerned about is calling oneself stupid and a nazi (of any sort at this point) while actually being neither. Even as a hyperbolic thing, it’s something I greatly dislike.

Please be kinder to yourself. It’s ok to be pedantic, but just say that instead :)

I also have things that make me unreasonably annoyed. It’s ok to have those things :)

Oh I fucking know it I was just being nice. I'm pretty awesome and I want all Nazis dead including the ones currently in government in the US and Europe. Just say it right motherfucker. Febreeze. Feh-breeze not Fab breeze doltish sod. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻. :)

Oh.. umm.. well have a good time with that, I guess.. 👍

Where are Nazis in government in the US or EU? Even Donald Trump isn't a card carrying Nazi, even though he isn't a good person or politician. He also isn't in office, and that's the closest to an actual Nazi I can think of in either place.

Anyway, someone made space for you and then you decided to call them a doltish sod. After calling yourself awesome no less. The truth is you're not "awesome" if you are going to behave like this. There is something wrong with you.

Yes I am seriously mentally ill but sometimes I get some good takes in. I definitely went too far with the fabreeze rant. I was just being silly, it might come across better in person.
