No matter how ticked off, stressed, and generally peeved Sweetheart is, being rude to the waitstaff is simply intolerable. I’m going to choose to believe it’s the stresses, though, rather than a habitual ‘she’s in the alpha position’ situation.
H.T., meanwhile, would be a perfect gentleman, regaling you with witticisms and anecdotes even as he enjoys your leg with a spicy chardonnay.
Wait, you mean that pool boy scenario doesn’t happen to everybody? The one with the little umbrella drinks and the Jonathan Coulton soundtrack? Well, darn…
This one is about three shelves up from her fantasy about setting fire to a building by leaving the fire escape door open and igniting a volcano that leads to the end of life on Earth.
Which still counts as a fantasy because technically it didn’t happen.
Yeah, Sweetheart’s paranoid fantasies lose all touch with reality so much faster than anybody else’s.
Last panel’s dialogue: great on so many levels.
He’d be better off worrying about the “murdles” from yesterday… Now to see if “I want to eat your face!” is on YouTube… Yep! watch?v=z7uAxOk67gg

Actually, the very first time we ever see H.T. he’s being rude to the waitstaff, as well as making implied threats of violence.

Granted, but in that particular case, the bartender was also being a decidedly rude speciesist jerkface. This guy was none of that.
So he’s more H.L. than Hungry Tiger.
Smuggled away to exotic pool GIRL resorts, of course, is a much more reasonable paranoid fantasy.
Is there a significant difference between pool boys and pool girls other than the obvious?
Unity prefers girls, and so is much less likely to try to escape.
