You weren't really sure why you were doing this. Whether it was out of pity, or if some part of you genuinely liked Dale... you just knew you couldn't see him get put down like this.

Sure, he was a bit annoying and overly friendly, but he was a good guy who meant the best. He didn't deserve being called things like the Talk Too Much Tech or being on the receiving end of backhanded, passive aggressive comments.

So you decided to be a little extra nice.
