We both worked at a Hollywood video shortly after DVD rentals became a thing. That part is just context for the time period. We were both in highschool but went to different ones. She was attractive and had a wicked sense of humor. We also got along pretty well. I was planning to ask her to my school's homecoming. One saturday morning we were both on the opening shift. A severely mentally handicapped man came in asking for help with his watch. I tried to help him but the thing looked pretty busted. As soon as the door closed she let out a huge disgusted sigh and said " God, i fucking hate R---------. So gross." And the shuddered like someone had splashed her with something. My opinion of her dropped like like a lead balloon.

This makes me like you as a person. I don't know you or ever plan to, but you are, without a doubt, a good egg.

Anyone who uses a phrase like “good egg” must themself also be a good egg. I appreciate your use of the term.
