It has been suggested by our facilitator to smile and say hello to people on the street. I know quite a few people who do it, but I am not one of them. I will say hello if someone says hello to me though.
More often then naught the people who say hello are female. In fact unless you are doing some activity that the male is doing (biking, hiking, swimming) it is rare that a male will say anything to you.
Today as I was walking back from swimming a normal male looked me straight in the eye and said hello. I of course said hi back, but already my mind was on high alert - stranger danger.
Yes I was thinking he was a serial killer and I was going to end up chopped up in his freezer. When he said hello I immediately covered the name on my badge and almost ran the rest of the way home.
Men do not say hello to heavy women. Never. And if one does you know they want you so they finish up their skin suit.
I did make it home, so obviously I covered my name tag fast enough.
Phew.

I must drive you crazy saying 'hello' to everyone who passes by.... Glad you didn't end up in someone's freezer ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, and look - I figured out how to post comments with my name showing... lol!
ReplyDeleteKimber pepper spray & a collapsible pit bull (a little heavy maybe) are decent options. Keep the home alarm system on AND the doors locked. I am male & do say hello/hi - I also like cheerios, so I guess that would make me a cereal serial killer
ReplyDeleteI *know* that guy and he *is* a serial killer! Good thing you covered your name tag.
