I'm not having a glass of wine, I'm having six. It's called a tasting and it's classy!

i think it could be a reference to saying no to plastic clothes hangers, since clothes hangers are an enormous source of plastic waste.

Edit: yes i understand the anti dangerous abortion symbolism, but here are some sources to explain the environmental impacts that are starting to gain some press.

While everything you said is valid, sometimes that question is pure curiosity. "Because i want to" is completely valid, though I'd love to know what the inspiration for that desire was. Did you hear a really cool battle song? Some orchestral piece that sounded great? A friend recommended it? Couldn't find an ocarina? Jamming to some folk metal?

I swear I'm inquisitive!

That's fair, though I might possibly (albeit unlikely) respond that way, but the reaction would be more in surprise as opposed to disdain.

Perhaps I already played the flute and the individual jokingly gave me a hard time over it, now they're playing the flute? Why!? You're one of us now!

Oh for sure. I'm not suggesting that those situations don't occur, they absolutely do. I'm adding that there's the alternative possibility that I'm legitimately curious as to the reasoning. I could also see some validity in the you don't want to be in a band comment, because that person or those people might wonder why the choice was made.

Not understanding something and asking questions isn't always the same as a personal attack. I think we all need to be a little better about giving the benefit of the doubt sometimes.

For the record, i don't think that's boring at all, that sounds pretty neat. Jam away!!

There are plenty of insurance companies that are like this. They're significantly cheaper than the nationally advertised insurance options.
