AITA for being annoyed my client/host threw my only mirror out of a window?

I (22M) am a solicitor and currently staying at a client’s castle in Transylvania. As I was shaving this morning my client (??M) grabbed my mirror, got mad at me for bleeding, called the mirror a “foul bauble of man’s vanity” and threw it out of the castle window. I was annoyed and was going to say something but then I noticed he was making my bed even though he says he has servants(?? I have yet to see one)

Edit: is it strange that I didn’t see his reflection in the mirror??

“classic literature is so boring, why do high schools never change the reading requirements for kids? how can these books still be relevant?!”

idea: play adaptation of crime and punishment in real time.

the play is months long. actors sleep onstage. we watch rodya’s descent into madness as we ourselves descend into madness over weeks and weeks. the audience subsists on cabbage soup, bread, and vodka.

think about it: crime and punishment adaptations are lacking because the pacing doesn’t work for a traditional play or movie. but if we murder pacing and piss on its grave, we don’t have that problem.

if you wouldn’t watch this, then you aren’t a true fan, btw

[TEXT ID: "You still crave lemonade, but the taste doesn’t satisfy you as much as it used to. You still crave summer, but sometimes you mean summer, five years ago. You remember your umbrella, you check up on people to see if they got home, you leave places early to go home and make toast." END ID]

RIP Oscar Wilde, you would've loved Lana del Rey and Red, White and Royal Blue.

I feel like he'd also be into kpop.
