Sounds like a good way out of a calling that requires training until 9:00 pm

If it is a game I care about I watch it alone unless I'm at the stadium.

Why do you have a bag on your face?

Cause I copied this icon from someone years and years ago and never changed it.

I ALWAYS act better and get less upset/angry when I watch games with friends.

Tell him what you just said and you’d prefer to watch alone.
