Why I'm Afraid to Ask For Advice
Person A: What? You want MORE advice?

Person A, pointing angrily at the bowl of food: You've gotten PLENTY of advice and you haven't taken ANY of it!

Attachment theory: All right, looks like there's nothing wrong with you.
Person: But...
Attachment theory: Enjoy your perfect life.
Person B is tied up and beaten, person A holds a knife up to their face and threatens them.

The person looks confused, then realizes their mistake.
Person A holding a teapot: Would you care for a spot of tea?
Person B with a tea cup and napkin in front of them: Yes please.
Person A pours a small bit of tea onto Person B's napkin. Person B looks at it with disappointment.
A person pours syrup on a waffle. As soon as they put a forkful of waffle in their mouth, there is syrup all over them and the wall behind them.
A carnival game setup has bowls of guacamole that disappear into holes. One person tries to dip a chip into the guacamole but the guacamole descends into one of the holes before they can get any.
