Everyone has one in their life.
The steel trap is the brain power of a person who remembers everything and willingly corrects anyone and anything that deviates from their recollection. Here’s an example:
Me: I started losing my hair about ten years ago.
Steel Trap: More like twelve years and three months ago. I remember because you found one in your salad at the Peking Duck All You Can Eat Buffet.
Me: I’ve never eaten at the Peking Duck Buffet.
Steel Trap: Yes, we both did. It was May 3, 2019. A year before the pandemic started. I definitely wouldn’t go to a buffet after it hit.
Me: Well of course you wouldn’t. Hell, I don’t think I’d ever go at all. It’s weird sharing food space with strangers.
Steel Trap: Well that’s a change of mind cuz on Saturday July 13, 2023 you suggested we go to a cookout that the new neighbors invited us to.
Me: I don’t recall that.
Steel Trap: Of course you don’t. You’re were sh*t faced the whole time. Nice impression you made too.
(So now I’ve had about enough, to be specific not “about enough” but “enough”.)
Me: Well your whole recollection is completely off. July 13, 2023 was a Thursday not a Saturday, so you’re wrong.
Steel Trap: Oh don’t you split hairs with me.
Me: I can’t. I don’t have any more hair to split. I lost it all twelve years and three months ago at the Peking Duck All You Can Eat Buffet.
Steel Trap: Well finally you’re admitting to it.
