We were having dinner at a restaurant the night my sister was flying in for an internship. He asked me what airline she was flying, and I replied, AA. He joked, “Well it’s probably going to fly into a building then.” I stared at him and bursted out into tears because I hadn’t heard back from her yet, and even the thought of that happening scared the shit out of me.

Aftermath: He apologized for upsetting me, but not for the joke. He said I need to get a sense of humor.
