Hypocrisy
How can someone have the audacity to greet a comment that is equally as challenging and harsh in tone with a kind wink and understanding nod when a similar remark was greeted with a feigned sense of outrage? I always hated it when you argued with friends about something, most likely something trivial, and that person, or even you, would go out of the way to greet any other similar situation with an overblown sense of empathy in an effort to avoid another altercation. I thought I left that kind of thing in high school, but it doesn't appear to be that way.
