why I hate everyone

[lauralh]

don't fuck with me this morning.

some guy did and I called him an asshole.

and then, you know, he called me a bitch and I started crying.

I was just sitting calmly at the bus stop reading the paper, but without the iPod. If only I hadn't forgotten it, he might not have asked me if I went to school.

Actually he was like "Are you in school? Do you go to college? Are you a student?" No shit. I figured he was a retard at first, so I said no, I worked. He asked then if I had a degree. When I said yes, he asked if it was from UW.

At which point I said, "Can you just let me read the paper?"

And he said "Oh, because I'm a man you don't want to talk to me? I bet if I were a woman you'd talk to me."

I told him that in the mornings I just wanted to be left alone. But he kept insisting that it was because he wasn't a woman, that was why I wouldn't talk to him.

So, then, yeah. I did have presence of mind to storm off before starting to sniffle, at least. And then I caught a different bus to work.

yeah, I said that he was the only person who's ever bothered me in the morning while I was trying to read. I should have said "Except for you know, lunatics."

WTF? In hindsight...

"Oh, because I'm a man you don't want to talk to me? I bet if I were a woman you'd talk to me."

"No, it's because you're ugly."

Or, Even Better

"Oh, because I'm a man you don't want to talk to me? I bet if I were a woman you'd talk to me."

"Well, the day a man talks to me, I'll let you know."

I hate people.

why do people feel the need to talk to you when you're not making eye contact. it's different if you weren't reading and seemed interested in him, but why do people feel the need to talk to you when you're clearly trying to ignore them?

shoulda kicked him in the nutz.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

uh, yeah, that would have been keeping with the spirit of the discussion.

[-danceofdeath.livejournal.com]

sorry... just trying to help.

[infinite-hiatus.livejournal.com]

People who try to talk to people who are reading are a special brand of Not Right.

Just reading about this really irritates me. Some people are so fucking self-centered and try to make it pretty by calling it friendliness.

I like to pretend there's no one out there.

[thingstouchme.livejournal.com]

I just outright ignore them, even when it's obvious they're talking to me/they keep getting in my face. All they can do is tsk alot and walk off complaining to nobody.

But what I hate even more is when I'm trying to buy something in a store (like just a GROCERY store or a noodle shop) and my purchase gets questioned..
"You don't like PORK? or BEEF?? It's so good, you should try the pork balls!"
Um, I haven't eaten it for years?!
"That color of nail polish/hair dye/whatever is too dark! It's summer! You should get a french manicure/highlights/etc!"
I happen to LIKE RED!!!! Shut up!!!!!!!!

Just leave me alone and let me buy my shit, you know?

This is when you hunt him down and have him killed.
