Like, the whole thing is incredibly contrived (he sprays down the entire office, something that would take minutes of sustained action) and serves no narrative purpose. Why did that need to happen, when it doesn't really affect anything in the story? It's another Shinji Shouldn't Be Living There scene, sure, and that's a storyline, but it's too dumb to believe in. That's when comedy gets bad for me, when it's too ludicrous to buy into.

I got so mad seeing Auntie that everyone around suffered for it. She was, like, an AOE on me getting mad at the show.

No, sorry, I meant Kitaoka. Dude is on the run and happens to wander into the one tea shop he'd be recognized in? How was Auntie getting these people to all show up at once? Was Ren out there blocking traffic, pulling people out of their cars, pushing them into the tea shop?

Oh no!

Which also brings me to the other pet peeve, Shinji calling her smiling weird as it's first time she smiled despite already seeing her smile numerous times before?!?! Other than that she also clearly smiles widely when welcoming Sudo to Atori. But nah here she suddenly acts cold and rude behavior here like freaking Squidward.

Yeah, all true, it's not like she's a morose character previously. If some parental figure showed up, referred to me as a teenager, and took over my life, I don't think I'd be smiling much, either.

Mostly, though, the A Woman Should Smile More plot point is, like, intensely problematic. For a character like Auntie, that I was viscerally opposed to, to trot out that little pearl... I was maybe reflexively grasping for my Final Vent card.

Oh, he's a dreamboat. Can't whistle for shit, though. I can't tell if him whistling terribly is a joke, or the show thinks it sounds good/correct.
