How Andre deals with stress.

Firstly, I need you to understand something. Andre doesn’t really lead a very stressful life. He’s a student, living with friends, steady relationship, financially secure etc etc. Yet he is the least relaxed person I know. Upon first meeting him, you would not agree with me. But shut up and listen for a bit and you’ll see what I mean.


Andre deals with stress in a very simple manner. Examine the following scene and see if you can find the method he employs.


Me: “Masterchef is almost on, where’s the remote?”


Daniel: “Uh, I don’t think I have it.”


We all look for a few minutes. The show has started. No big deal, right?


Me: “I can’t believe we’ve lost it again.”


Daniel: “Haha yeah it’s-“


Andre: “FUCK!!!!!”


And that’s what he does. Reacts in a loud and profane matter to mundane situations, giving Daniel and I heart attacks in the process. We have learned to see it coming and cover our ears when Andre starts twitching and pacing.


Andre, I’m begging you, get on the Prozac.
