How to Learn Your Lesson
🕑 Added 2025-09-08 07:00:02 +0000 UTCI have had arguments that have lasted for years. Decades, even. They’ve endured long after the person I was arguing with probably forgot the conversation, or even my name. That is not a good thing. If you disagree, please don’t tell me. See the beginning of this paragraph for a clue as to how the conversation might go.
I know I am not alone in this. I have a cousin who refers to his shower as “the argument simulator.”
They say many people get their best ideas in the shower. I’ve gotten a few good ideas in there, but for the most part, it’s been a great source of thoughts that start with “I shoulda said . . .”
One of the MANY gifts those of you who humor my nonsense have given me is that, thanks to this comic, and my other fiction writing, if I think of what I should have said, I still get to say it. It’s like having a time machine. I can recreate the moment for you, and then Cartoon Meyer gets to say the thing that I, as real Meyer, only got to imagine.
In a way, I have found a way to monetize grudge holding.
(NOTE: The idea of making this commentary partially be about ideas from the shower did, indeed, occur to me in the shower.)

At this point the shower might need to act as a place where you think about being in the shower where you think about what you should have said.
