* ToiletSeatDivorce: Maya playfully pokes fun at her own height with Moe both before and after he asks her to marry him, but asks him to leave when he takes it a (mild) joke or two too far, admitting he's been holding a lot of lines back. His subsequent attempt to surgically make himself shorter in a very twisted GrandRomanticGesture only seals the deal, as the problem for Maya is that he demonstrates awareness of her height at ''all.'' Given that she was willing to marry him after knowing him for a short time and that her height genuinely ''doesn't'' matter to him, you can't help thinking it's the kind of problem that could have been settled with a mature conversation.
