Double Standard Series - Episode 1
Example 1. When we were still teenagers, he had a bearded dragon. One of its favourite things to eat was mixed greens.
He made me wash and scrub each leaf individually. An entire package of this shit. It would take me over an hour.
On a rare occasion where he volunteered to do the cleaning, I walked in on him washing the lettuce en masse in a colander. You know, the way any other reasonable person would.
I asked why I was forced to clean it in such an over-the-top way. He told me that I was inherently lazy and that if he didn’t give me very specific, detailed, and meticulous instructions that I would slack and his animal would die.
He was protecting his animal and making me a better person at the same time. He was insulted that I didn’t see it that way.
