I mean, seriously, he was incredibly patient with her. Towards the end, you could tell he was really getting tired of her crap, but he never even raised his voice. Amazing.

Also, yay for that bank, making people wear masks in there.

As for that maskhole, what a ❄! Grow tfu, lady.

My best guess is extreme fear manifested in denial and then rage. Very odd.

So entitled, so sure she is brilliant when she is clueless. Arrogant and ignorant.
