islan: I think Renee thinks it was a deliberate action on his part to piss her off by being an obnoxious asshole.
If I'm right, it does say that Renee is somewhat self-centred, thinking as she seems to that everything that's been happening in the last few minutes is about her.
War Sparrow:
Certainly, Renee is divisive. I like her, because she reminds me of my sister, but I can see why she is not universally adored.
--- Quote from: islan on 11 Feb 2019, 05:13 ---Hi, I'm wondering if someone could explain some social rules, or tell me if I'm picking up on the wrong thing. I get that P-man was being a jackass and creeper to Brun, I got that much. But in today's comic (3936), I kinda struggled to interpret when Renee said the line "He was hitting on you, in front of me, in the most deliberately shitty way he could think of." The line "in front of me" makes it sound like there was some subtext I didn't pick up on that he was doing it deliberately to piss Renee off, but was it primarily from the first part ("he was hitting on you") or the second part ("in the most deliberately shitty way")? It just seems odd to me that Renee would be pissed that he would hit on her roommate when she couldn't even remember his name (not an observation against her, just an observation of the seriousness of their relationship). Or is this just one of the major rules of hook-up culture, that you don't hit on the roommate/family member?

Peter was being extremely rude. Setting aside the way he did it for a moment, one does not hit on, or actively flirt, with someone's roommate immediately after sleeping with that someone. You are in another person's home; try to behave as if you were raised with a modicum of civility. At least that's what i got out of it
Edited for clarity..

I don't think I've seen anyone claiming otherwise? I'll assume you're referring to what I wrote, seeing as you wrote it immediately after my post.
My point wasn't that he wasn't rude. My point was that the person affected was primarily Brun, and Renee is making it about herself. In my opinion, unduly so.

Keep in mind that Angus and Renee dated, and they didn't break up on good terms.
Not that I'm saying it's all Renee's fault, but Angus was...really really boring besides being kinda snarky. It would make total sense if Renee had some strange hangups related to dating and relationships which made her not see things in an entirely objective manner.

I just can't help but think, if you meet someone on the internet to hook up with, "Buyer Beware."
