🤔I had a college football teammate that would often drink to excess, then pass out and wet himself. He did not make good choices.
One thing I never saw him do though, is wake up, notice that he was wet, complain that someone had urinated on him, and demand that someone else exchange pants with him.

Then she resumed moving again picking up the bowls to shelve them.
Stares right in my eyes. Pulls out her AirPod.
