On Megan McArdle’s first week at WaPo Opinions, while meeting a younger staffer, McArdle told the staffer, “You’re like one of those millennials who got a participation trophy for everything, huh.”
The staffer, shocked, responded, “I had to get reconstructive surgery on my face when I was 17 because my father had beaten it in so many times.”
McArdle: “I had no way of knowing that.”
Staffer: “Right!”
She never spoke to the staffer again.
