I would sooner walk alone than jump through eggshells with this madwoman

This was a comment to a Carolyn Hax “Personal” column in the Washington Post. The column was about a boyfriend who was rebuked for acting as a confident to a married female friend. It is a mashup of “jumping through hoops” (completing a series of tasks to achieve something) and “walking on eggshells” (being very careful of saying or doing something because someone is easily offended). A big thanks to Yvonne Stam for spotting this one and sending it in!
