Quick story: My friend Dallas (Fake name) has a pretty morbid sense of humor whenever he's hanging out with the guys. Apparently that sense of humor is leaking into his everyday life. Well, he's at work trying to tidy up his department before he clocks out, and the overnight manager, Dick, goes "Yo Dallas, I'm gonna need you to stop trying to look busy, and actually get the two return carts from up front. You can at least do that much, right?" Without as much as a pause, Dallas responds with "Or, I could have killed my self in high school, and saved all of us a little trouble." The look on Dicks face!

It's like when you stop pretending for a moment and show your real self to someone with the hope that they'll accept you and be your friend, but they either recoil or reject you.
