I think you need to step back and wonder, "Why does my dog enjoy such an activity?" Sit down, talk to him. Get to know him. Try it out. I think enjoying your dog's hobbies will strengthen your relationship.
When someone says something and you have a differing opinion, flip them off and say it’s your turn and their opinion is incorrect. People on Twitter do it all the time!
Instead of plugging your guitar into the amp, have the amp play a solo guitar track from a video on your phone, then pretend to play the guitar. That's it! You can now play like the legends!
Just don't think about anything else. Only focus on your friend, and if the parents deviate the topic from your friend, bring them back into the topic of conversation again. The goal is to never stop talking about your friend, ever. Their parents love it when you do that.
Help, I can't reach the remote to the TV, what do I do?
Oh, that’s easy. All you gotta do is become a comedian, and constantly try to get on the Presidents’ good sides at Harvard/Yale/Princeton/etc by being their golf caddy for free. Oh, and say that you’re related to Mark Zuckerburg. They never gave him a chance, and I really don’t think they want to regret letting hidden talent walk away like that again. You’ll get in no problem.
My dog keeps getting the carpet dirty. How can I prevent this from happening?
You need to get it dirty first. Take dumps on the floor regularly so that by the time your dog gets to it, it's already dirty and therefore your dog can't make it dirtier!
