How would you have reacted??

So I go over to this guy's house Firday mornings to have breakfast. I sit around and chat with the person who invited me over and his roommate. Both of these fellows are good friends of mine and crack me up continually.

Guy friends are wonderful, they keep me from getting bitter :D

So I'm hearing stories of hot oil burning skin and how to treat such things.

I decide to share a very cool story of how I walked on hot fire coals when I was 15 years old.

The usual reaponse:

Ooooooo how did you do it without getting burned? I'm awed and inspired by such a cool story.

His response:

You know what peeves me....? Dirty dishes in the sink when I'm trying to clean the dishes.

o_O Am I missing something here?
