CindyH: I Avoid Friendly People
Some may find this hard to believe, but I don’t like making small talk, so I prefer drive-thru
almost anything. I get too attached to people. The tellers at my bank keep having babies and leaving. I miss them. I wonder about the babies. I’m sticking with the drive-thru. For the same reason I also hate garage sales. People are so friendly! I don’t like to visit with people while I look through their leftovers. I wish they’d leave me alone. Soon, I found out they’re having a garage sale because of a recent divorce, or someone lost a job, or all their money went to buy Johnny’s special shoes. I can’t stand it. I end up buying junk I DO NOT need, because I want to help out. I don’t go to garage sales anymore.
Question: Are you more restrained in your interaction with people now than you were before the age of technology took hold a decade or so ago?
