Good evening! Are you having a good week so far? Today I have decided to tell you a tale that will hopefully amuse you.
A few weeks ago I was walking down the main road towards the National Mall. While on this mission of the utmost importance I notice a guy walking besides me and he noticed me. Or at least he noticed me pulling my face and simply couldn’t stop himself from interrogating me.
Now if you know anything at all about me you’ll know that I have a thousand thoughts racing through my mind at anyone time (read: the voices in her head are instructing her to kill all within eyesight). Each thought vying for my attention, is usually accompanied by a facial expression. Sometimes I simply have the biggest ass grin on my face due to something hilarious I have just thought of. At other times I screw up my face like I’ve just bitten into a lemon. The point being that I suck ass at poker; I am incapable of keeping control of my emotions. So can you imagine my surprise when this stranger, whom I don’t know from a bar of soap, asks me why I’m pulling my face?
My first reaction was to ask him what he meant but then the thought hit me, “Why am I having an interaction (eventually maybe an altercation) with a stranger on the main road?” It was with that I moved on without waiting for answer. My unconscionable action seemed to have angered him because he immediately yelled, “And you’re fucking ugly as well.”
...
Yeah, bet you didn’t think that story would end that way.
Anyway, for a long while after the incident I kept replaying the scene in my head. Most people would have been angry and shouted something sarcastic in return. Me? I was amused. I just don’t understand you someone can let something so slight, so unintentional by someone of no import get to them. There are some things in life simply not worth getting angry over.

Firstly, you are in America, the land of idle talk. People talk to you everywhere. One might say they are overly friendly, but hey i like it, not like people in Asia, so hard to get a bloody "Hi" from them. They all must be carrying jewels in their mouths.
So when he engaged in small talk with you and you just ignored him, poor guy’s feelings must have been crushed.....so i guess his anger got the best of him. So was he suited or just a regular Joe with a sign saying "will work for food"
Try to be more friendly...you are after all in US, the land of small talk.... lol
