becca buck meyer got that totally cute sundress it's pretty

00:10

much been all your circle friends talk about Alright so

00:14

make sure not a collection of the world's most sparkling

00:16

conversationalist still it's a pretty great dress you know like

00:20

kim k would hard it in fact it's one of

00:22

those defining articles of clothing or accessories It's like ray

00:26

charles sunglasses or johnny depp's fodor or lady gaga as

00:29

meat dress that's sundresses becca's identity which maybe doesn't say

00:34

all that much for her personality But well it is

00:36

what it is Well everyone's been asking if they can

00:38

borrow this dress She's turned down everyone everyone but you

00:43

she says it's partly because you have the figure for

00:46

it and partly because you just get her anyway It's

00:48

a huge honor that she's agreed to let anyone other

00:51

than herself where it and you swear to return it

00:53

to her in one piece Good thing it isn't swear

00:56

on anything important after taking the dress home and tried

00:59

it on in your bedroom and admiring yourself in the

01:01

full length mirror for a few minutes until you disrobe

01:04

Well her distress and toss that thing over your vanity

01:08

It's soon lost among the rest of the disaster area

01:10

that is your bedroom and disappears from sight and as

01:13

excited as you were to get the thing Well you

01:15

sort of forget about it because it's the weekend and

01:18

by the time monday rolls around you totally space on

01:21

wearing the dress to school which was the whole point

01:23

of borrowing it in the first place That was surprised

01:26

to see you in Well those rags And you can

01:29

instantly tell that she's nervous He starts grilling you Do

01:32

you still have the dress Is it okay You haven't

01:35

burned it in effigy have you No You assure her

01:38

it's totally fine You just forgot to wear it Well

01:42

fine she says but she really kind of sort of

01:44

want it back now Okay so you promised to wear

01:46

it the next day But you can already tell you've

01:49

moved down several notches on becca's trust scale that evening

01:53

you get home and start digging through the piles of

01:54

junk in your bedroom in search of the dress While

01:57

you're shoulder deep in laundry you accidentally knock over the

02:00

half consume soda you oh so wisely left sitting on

02:02

the edge of your dresser and it goes everywhere all

02:06

over everything The whole episode startles you so much that

02:10

you try to leap out of there but your foot

02:12

gets caught on some material and you hear a door

02:15

It uh oh there it is While the dresses now

02:18

tor nearly in half and is doused with dr pepper

02:22

that diet kind is definitely not what the doctor ordered

02:25

You try to get a stain out eugenia sew up

02:27

the tear and well it's just a lost cause That

02:30

thing is toast So you head back to school in

02:32

more of your rags with your head hung low and

02:35

dreading the inevitable encounter And becker reacts Well even worse

02:39

than you expected Who knew this girl was a hair

02:41

puller Okay so you destroyed a dress Big whoop right

02:44

No one died And it's Not like it was your

02:46

dress So you'll live well yeah but you've lost a

02:49

friend Maybe becca wasn't going to be in your bridal

02:51

party one day but you just took someone's trust in

02:54

you squatted and took a giant dump all over it

02:57

Life isn't all about things but it's Human nature to

03:00

assign a great deal of value to certain possessions were

03:03

sure there's an item or two that belong to you

03:05

that you wouldn't necessarily want anyone driving over with a

03:08

monster truck What about that little league trophy But when

03:11

you're entrusted with someone else's property it's a big deal

03:15

you know unless someone just asked youto watch their sandwich

03:18

for a minute and well you snooze you lose always 00:03:21.12 --> [endTime] other sandwiches No
