Headline of a Q&A in New Yorker formatting
Headline: A panicked middle-aged man refuses to tell me directions to the bathroom.
Subhed: Please, I just have to pee. I'm in a hurry.

Excuse me.
Oh, God. Oh, no. Holy shit. Get away from me.
I was wondering if you knew where the bathrooms are.
Look, I'm ... it's not a crime to scroll through your high school girlfriend's Instagram account. We remained friends after high school! I was at her wedding! It's only natural to see how she's doing.
I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'm afraid that if I choose the wrong corridor, I'll be late for my train.
I think they're down that way, but I'm actually from out of town. Please stop talking to me.
Real quick, though. I agree that it's natural to be interested in an old friend, but aren't you afraid about the message you might be sending by liking a picture of her at the beach from 2015?
If that did happen, and I'm only going off your word, it was probably an accident. They put the ... scroll bars or whatever ... close to the thumbs up button. People have been complaining about that for years. I've been complaining about that for years.

Ink painting of a little Rockruff leaping while holding many giant nasturtiums in their mouth. The stems curl around above and to the left. A shiny Magnemite looks at them curiously.
A tiny Zorua and Pombon on a white bg. They're both holding one long branch in their mouths together. They are probably rivals at the start of a long journey.
A couple more good dogs. Team of only little guys. πΌ

An ink painting of a Vaporeon smiling happily at the camera. Many big morning glories are tangled on a vine around their tail. The inside of the morning glories mimic the spiky collar shape around Vaporeon's neck.
A vaporeon sitting in profile and smiling with a few morning glories around them, and the vine curling around their tail again. Do you think surf would be useful for gardening purposes? Vaporeon wants to find out.
Happy 30th birthday Pokemon! Here are some paintings of my all time favorite. My only objective every game is to locate my dog.

Ramza plays a tune on the recorder as Mustadio, Agrias, Ladd (as a summoner), and Lavian (as an archer) listen and sing along.
