So here's a scenario. Someone brings in to your place of work a plate of homemade chocolate brownies. Only they aren't chocolate brownies, they are those Turkish baclava things, but chocolate brownies is just easier to type. Anyway, someone brings in a plate of 'brownies' as a nice thank you for some undefined good deed.
Its a hot day, they are sticky and the brownie benefactor wants the plate back. Someone asks if you could fetch a knife to prise them off the plate and onto an office-based receptacle. Upon reaching the kitchen area you spy a spatula, an implement much more suited to the removal of sticky brownies from one plate to another, so you gather it up and hustle it back to the brownies.
You are then brusquely told - 'No, I need a knife'.
Do you a. Reply that a spatula is a much more suitable instrument, and demonstrate accordingly. b. Meekly return to the kitchen and fetch an inferior piece of cutlery to do the job? If you answer b. then you are a moron, a subservient pushover with self-esteem issues who deserves the absolutely nothing that life will inevitably dole out, forever destined to follow others and trail behind everything and everyone in your hopes and aspirations.
Actually, that didn't really make me feel any better.
