ARE YOU WELL MANNERED?

[BlueTiki]

For example, there's a new-ish guy at the deli, he just stares at me when I make my request.

Here's a thought . . .

Pretend you're not choosing a song.

Order . . . don't request.

Fuck the new-ish guy's flat affect!

If it really bothers you and you really care (a scenario I highly doubt), invite him to one of your holiday soirees.

'Tis the season . . . gush with and give kindness to those, so desperately lacking the social graces of polite society.

Or quit the fuck trying to engage this droid.
