An odd thought

An odd thought struck me last night. Well tonight I suppose except that I'm awake already and it's still night. anyway, thought was this: people will react differently to even basic questions when they consider themselves to be in a relationship as opposed to when they don't.

For example, I was talking to an ex and she's got this piece of shit car. bought used, the thing's on it's last legs. she's also got a piece of shit boyfriend. whatever not my problem. So I ask her "why in the hell would you spend money to buy a car like this?"

Now a person who considers themselves to be an individual will answer with "I" but a person who considers themselves to be in a relationship will answer with "we"

oddities of life I suppose.
