have you ever said HELLO to someone and they SNARL at you in return?

[vash]

yea. I cant take any of it personally..

a person doesn't need to thank me if I hold a door open, or let them into the conga-line of traffic.
I only have control of my own ass.

I hope I never snarl at anyone..or have reason to. it was an interesting thing. first time for everything

I took a 50lb box of bridge books and mags over to a women's club where mom used to play and supported for a long time. Was told they were desperately wanted there. Bunch of well dressed white women standing around talking and my appearance with a pickup truck in a common t-shirt seemed like a big event. It was after the No K rally but they seemed very protective of their own space. Whatever. I'm just delivering.

I was trying to be friendly at first. "Where can I put these, they are heavy". No response for an uncomfortable pause. The point person kept giving me 'the stare' up and down the entire time. She wanted my full name. Didn't give her own name. I gave it to her, gave my mother's name, and asked "Did you know her?" pleasantly.

How dare I ask her a question. She full teeth sneered and said nothing. Full stare. Didn't give a thanks. I was done.
