Of the many times I displayed that character trait over the past 10 days, I'm pretty sure that Thursday night was my shining moment.
After drinking far too much vodka in a short space of time, I met some friends at a bar where there happened to be a drag show on that night. A friend ended up on stage, so I pulled out my camera to take a picture. Upon seeing this, the drag queen yelled at me to "Make [her] look pretty!"
Without missing a beat, my mouth responded with "It's not a magic wand, sweetheart.", to which the entire bar went "Ooohhhhhhh", all prompting the drag queen to completely flip out, come through the crowd, grab me by my collar, and spit in my face.
I don't claim for a moment that I didn't deserve that. I'm more amazed that NYC seems to bring out some untapped reserve of bitchy comments that seem to remain at least slightly concealed when I'm in Sydney. Seems a bit of a waste, really.
Pictures from New York coming soon...

To me it sounded like you were just being really funny, not an asshole. So I guess that means I've probably got some spit coming my way soon, too.
I'm gonna go with vicki on this one. That sounds hilarious. I don't see why the queen flipped out.
