Name your color and it’s yours, brat.
S. Symanski
The sad part is I know you’d do it.
L. Conti
The sad part is that you won’t let me.
S. Symanski
I can’t just quit my job and let you support me. My mother would kill me.
L. Conti
Please, your mother loves me.
S. Symanski
She won’t love all the money I wasted on school.
L. Conti
Poor you. Born to be a sugar baby. Forced to be an attorney.
S. Symanski
I’m going to print out this conversation and give it to the HR lady to use as an example in her Workplace Harassment seminar this afternoon.
L. Conti
I already did. Look down.

CASE FILE: Seven Symanski v. Lorenzo Conti (Re: “Just friends”)
SUBMITTED TO: The Intern Who Makes Loafers Sexy
DATE: September 10th
*PREPARED BY:Lorenzo Conti, Attorney at Law
L. Conti:
“Did Grayson make you use Comic Sans for this slide deck or is this a cry for help? Blink twice if you need assistance.”
Line 1 – Exhibit A, Enzo Initiates Contact: Classic “negging” technique used as a thinly-veiled excuse to start conversation.
?Annotation: Defendant is seeking attention through typographic aggression.
S. Symanski:
“I’ll stop using Comic Sans when you stop staring at my ass.”
Line 2 – Seven Counters: Plaintiff clearly acknowledges the defendant’s ongoing flirtatious behavior.
?Annotation: Also suggests spatial awareness of the defendant’s gaze patterns. Highly sus.
