the way my grandma tries to shove her irrational fears on me and then guilt-trips me when i don't indulge her

#no grandma your tv won't explode if you turn it on during a storm #yes ''well if i die then it's your fault'' sure whatever this doesn't matter because you won't die from turning on a fucking tv #i'm out here using a computer that's using far more electricity than your tv #without using your tv YOUR home is using up tons of electricity either way. you have a fridge a heating system a stove a router a microwave #we live near a building equipped with a lightning rod Specifically In Place so you & i can be safe during storms #every single time you have ever had a fear of something blowing up in your face killing you instantly. well. #i can't say it ever happened considering i'm still talking to you right now #i will not play along and pretend to be scared with you. i'm not. you shouldn't be. turn your tv on. #you're calling me specifically because you want to know if it's safe to use your tv right now #i'm telling you Yes It Is. did you ever intend to listen to me or were you just looking for validation ? #did you only call so i could tell you your tv's a ticking bomb just waiting for you to hit the on button to zap you into a pile of dust ? #why call me to ask if you only want confirmation of what you already believe and won't accept any statement that denies it ? #you're not gonna die from using a fucking television. nobody ever has. #like... ugh of Course she's allowed to be scared plenty of people are scared of stormy weather #but why does she expect me to tell her GEE YES GRANGRANS THE TV'S GONNA 9/11 YOU IF YOU EVEN LOOK AT THE REMOTE AAAAAA #no. i'm telling you it's safe. i've told you it's safe multiple times. if you don't trust me idk what to tell you lol #ITS NOT EVEN THAT STORMY IT'S LIKE DRIZZLING OUTSIDE THATS ALL
