-At work my boss yelled at me again b/c he doesn't want to ever see customers bag their groceries and sometimes if they want to I allow them to bag their own...the first time he told me I assumed he meant not to allow them to bag unless they preferred to do so...apparently they are prohibited from bagging...![]()
-Today a friend of mine told me that I wasn't supposed to use a serving spoon during lunch even though I enjoy using spoons to gather the sauce...I didn't think table etiquette was to be taken so seriously among friends...then I picked up a cracker that he brought over to examine it because I'd never seen the brand before and everyone laughed and acted like I was a fool (in my own home,mind you!)...
-I am intelligent and well-read yet get nervous easily and can't ever think of anything to say in social situations (who wants to listen to evo-devo lectures at a party or learn a new language on a whim?...noone but me it seems..)
-I'm short and muscular but because I'm a nice person people think I'm a pansy. I hate that being polite is seen in a negative light...also, people make stupid uninformed comments like "hey look at that guy (pointing at some tall guy), he's huge..he's bigger than you",,people don't get that a.) height doesn't equal size and b.) even if the guy weighs more I'm most likely stronger b/c muscular strength and length are proportional on a scale of 2/3. The thickness and kind of muscle fibers present determine strength more accurately.
Am I wrong..is the world wrong?
