She had been based on the East Coast for a while, I was coming from a West Coast mentality. We did a 3 day weekend in Vegas. It was, maybe, 105 degrees. We were going "to dinner", and I wanted to wear shorts because, again, it was 105 degrees.

She had a fucking FIT. "People don't wear shorts to dinner. To dinner! Harumph harumph harumph"

Yeah, so you know what happened. I put friggin' pants on, miserably, and we went out to "fancy dinner" and every single fucking person in the place was wearing shorts, including the staff.

I'm like, look, you need to leave the East Coast on the East damn Coast.
