My sister does this thing that really annoys me. Like if her flight gets cancelled and I say, “I’m sorry about that,” she’ll tell me –
Emily: “It’s not your fault.”
Yeah. I know. What, do you think I control the weather? I’m being sympathetic. And normally it wouldn’t bother me, but there are other times when I say, “I’m sorry that guy broke up with you,” and she tells me –
Emily: “Thanks.”
Then I feel the need to call her back like –
Josh: “Just to clarify, I’m not being blamed for your break-up, am I?”

That may not be hilarious; I just want people to stop doing it.
