Ah, my apology @yankeetooter, and thank you for politely pointing out that most of us are not responding in the way you were looking for. Maybe this story fits.
While living in Minneapolis, I hung out with a group that would meet up regularly for dinner, dancing, etc. There was one guy in the group that, while we had mutual respect for each other’s work (we all worked for the same company), we could not be in the same room for long without ending up arguing.
He transferred to Dallas to run classes on how to use the company’s computer system. I moved to Chicago to open up a new hotel. As luck would have it, I was tasked with going to Dallas for his training class. We both were dreading being stuck in the same room all day long for two weeks. At the end of the first day, he pulled me aside and said, “You said something to me once that had a profound impact on me, and it has made a difference for the better. You said, ‘Oh, grow up.’”
We both had a good laugh over it and really bonded during those two weeks. If it hadn’t been for the difference in locations, we probably would have dated. He married a woman he met in Dallas, but we were still in touch with each other until I left the company.
