You know what really gets me the most about this? When the doorbell rings and she says “I wonder who that could be? It’s too early for the garbage man,” but the trash man usually comes at like 7-8AM. That means Irving’s irritating ass really got up at the crack of dawn just to be a POS to sweet ol’ Betty just trying to make her cakes.
