The Rules

I'm a federal employee and have been for 25 years.

Some years back my parents were visiting from Florida and asked to borrow a car (I had two), and I said sure. Then, later, I said something about how busy work had been, and my father starts laughing at how funny that is - and calls my older brother - so they can share a laugh about me "working hard". Both lifelong Republicans, I will note.

I was like, hey, did you want to borrow the car that my hard work paid for, or not?

When I called them out on it, they said I was absolutely correct and apologized.
