Yes. When I'm mad, I generally don't want to talk about it. It's probably not even important, so it's not worth discussing. I don't need a woman to analyze the problem and offer advice. Just give me a few minutes to myself, and I'll be over it.
Side note: I also get irritated when my favorite teams are losing. So when I'm watching a game and my team is down, it's not a good time to talk to me about paint swatches, a leaky faucet, holiday plans, laundry, the electric bill, clothes shopping or any other topic not specifically related to why Alfonso Soriano can't catch a fucking fly ball. Best to wait until after the game and then talk to me.
You didn't mention Notre Dame beating the Boilermakers...
That happens about every year. I'm used to it.
And at this point I'm rooting for a loss every week for Purdue football. The sooner Coach Hope gets the boot, the better. He's fucking awful.

So basically you're saying that you're altogether unapproachable April-September?
Well... I mean... the Cubs win sometimes, don't they?
Yeah, I guess you're right. But once we're eliminated from playoff contention (end of June), I'm much more apathetic when it comes to losing.
