They're also not worth noting about like he did.
Like when once a past friend nagged me about renewing my car's speakers since the music according to him, plays "horribly". I didn't find a point arguing about it but it really annoyed me inside that I chose to leave. He was also critical about a different topic which triggered my leave. Boiling anger inside due to depression I assume.
Were it for today, I'd tell him "You think my speakers can use an upgrade? Well go ahead, replace them for me!"
He'd probably go like "Oh, I am not the one who needs them, it's you".
"I don't need them".
"Yes you do, *name*".
"Well, if you think I need to replace them then replace them for me. If I don't see a need to replace them I'm not replacing".
