The Abrasive Side is an upcoming episode from season 7.

A fish goes up to the bus stop and discovers that SpongeBob has been sleeping there. SpongeBob explains that he is going to Glove World with Patrick. The fish asks to go in front of him and SpongeBob lets him, along with other fish. Patrick comes and is angry at SpongeBob for not having the first spot in the line. As they are about to get on the bus, Sandy wants SpongeBob to help with her experiment. SpongeBob can't say no, and is seen in the Treedome running in a large hamster wheel. He then gets back in line, but Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob to tell Pearl that she can't have the shoes she wants. Soon afterwards, Patrick comes back and is angry that SpongeBob never came and says that SpongeBob can't stand up for himself. SpongeBob is then seen at home, crying on his sofa to Gary, who orders an abrasive side for SpongeBob. He soon discovers that his abrasive side is taking over him, turning around his body to yell at people. The only person who enjoys this is Squidward, as SpongeBob's abrasive side says that he won't hang out with him "for all the money in Krabs' mattress". After apologizing to everyone, SpongeBob runs to Sandy, who tells him to grab something heavy (which happens to be Patrick) and she pulls his abrasive side off. SpongeBob runs off, remembering to apologize to his Grandma. He discovers that she has ordered an abrasive side, too.

Trivia/Goofs

In this episode, Mr. Krabs has no idea what the word 'overtime' means, but in past episodes, such as Wishing You Well, he actually says it.
This and the episode it is paired with, Earworm, both end with one of the characters screaming.

Howard Blandy appears in the line for the bus as someone who cut in front of Spongebob.
Spongebob's abrasive side makes an obvious reference to The Lost Mattress by saying to Squidward "I wouldn't hang out with you for all the money in Krabs' mattress!"
