00:24And then you get mad at this random lady?
00:28Would you be offended if she says no to your time, because she has her own time?
00:37Would you stalk her family?
00:39I don't care that it's normal.
00:41I don't care that this crazy type of behavior comes along with the job, the career field
00:48I've chosen.
00:50That does not make it okay.
