How about the one where Sherlock prefers to text because something about using a phone deactivates a lot of his inhibitions?

"It's hardly--" Sherlock said, long fingers slicing through the air in agitation. "It's easily dealt with."

"By texting?" Really, when John moved in, he'd thought that eyeballs in the microwave would be the strangest thing he'd have to accept. The idea that the things Sherlock said to people's faces were the phrases that passed Sherlock's internal filter... "What would you say? If you called someone, what could you possibly say that would be so bad?"

Sherlock's face contorted into an ugly grimace. "There's no need to go into that."

"If you don't tell me," John had to pause for a second, and then an idea struck, "I'll call your mobile until you answer out of frustration. And then I'll ask."

Sherlock looked from John to his phone and back again. "You probably would," he muttered and John smiled as sweetly as he could. "The last time I answered my phone, it was Anderson."

"How could you insult him any more worse than you already do?"

Sherlock stepped around the coffee table, and walked over to the window. Facing the window, he mumbled something.

"What?"

"I said," Sherlock bit out, voice low and... embarrassed? It was hard to be sure with Sherlock. "I told Anderson he had very attractive hands."

John snorted, muffling his laughter until Sherlock spun around, indignantly adding, "Well, he does! And it's not funny."

John was laughing too hard to point out it really, really was.

Oh, that's perfect!

The idea that the things Sherlock said to people's faces were the phrases that passed Sherlock's internal filter...

I love it. "You mean you can get stranger?"

The idea that Sherlock says certain things because he doesn't stop and think about them (and therefore realise how insulting and demeaning they can be) is almost forgivable. The idea that those are the thoughts he considers *acceptable* is simply mindboggling -- and hilarious.
