Let's talk about issues in general. I am extremely sensitive and allergic to synthetic perfumes. Damn those men and women for wearing even reasonable amounts.

Or, hey, screaming children. Damn their parents for ever bringing them out of the house! Screaming kids put me on edge in a most horrible way. I always think there's a little 'un who's in pain or being kidnapped and the instinct will not go away as the kiddo screams his head off. So here I am, trying to enjoy dinner and a conversation while fighting off the impulse to rescue a kid who does not need rescuing because he just sounds like someone's taking a cleaver to his face. In fact, he wants cookies for dinner. Either way.

Seriously, princess. The world does not revolve around you. Put on your grown-up pants and stop using your anecdata to validate your personal biases.
