The drugs they say are made in California

So I was thinking about what to write today and i realized that I don't really have the short Alanis Morissette 'Ironic' type posts that seem to thrive on livejournal.  I guess I'm about to do my fair share of bitchin' so if you don't like it...go find that old alanis cd and put that on instead

Perhaps most lamentable about such encounters is how they pollute a person's good will: soon enough, all solicitations, however purely intentioned, incite both suspicion and fear, and the friendly gesture may not be securely interpreted as such without first heavy scrutiny and reluctance. One feels cynical and sour, having the default reaction to mere strangers as truculent predators.

okay here is what happened to Mindy last night:
so there is this guy just kind of hanging at the fringe of the checkout area, so I ask if he is ready to go. He tells me four times that he is waiting for his wife, oh there she is, I am waiting for my wife, oh there she is, so I'm just waiting for my wife, oh there she is right now...she is right there, she is coming, I am just waiting for her. Okay. So I have to go do stuff, so I tell him to tell Mindy when he is ready...poor poor mindy. I am picking out clothes to put back, and he is asking if she is married and then she says she just graduated from high school, and blah blah, blah. He keeps says that he can't look at her below her chin, because he would be in trouble, bad things would happen. It was the worst! Not only was he a bit off, older, and married, all he wanted to say was, "Nice rack". Got to love clearance time!

No, I think you're ok in that description. I find the best thing to do is change the subject swiftly, derailing their train of thought while offering a big smile as the carrot- and then moving the other way. I really hate it when I find myself caught in a circular conversation.
