On a somewhat tangential but not entirely unrelated topic, I utterly hate when perfect strangers tell me to "smile!"

I've just started responding to those people by telling them flat out that the expression on MY face is none of THEIR business. Or that they're being rude. Or both.

They are, always, gobsmacked into silence (so far, anyway).

So many people expect folks like us to not only never complain about or object to being ill-treated, but to smile through it as well.

Well, I may be in need of another one now, so, it's arguable. But I got through high school with that psychologist!

I hope she is; she might be.
