Things Not To Do

This grey dreary weather puts me in a bad mood and makes me very cranky and intolerant of certain behavior. I may just start a series on things not to do in public, reserved for days like today.

  • Bodily Fluids That The World Does Not Need To See
  • Even if you do not have a tissue on you, do NOT lean over a garbage can and blow your nose into it by using your fingers to hold your nostrils. Nobody wants to see you flick a long strand of snot. Pity the people who go rummaging in the trash for empty cans or the workers who have to empty the bins. It’s GROSS.

  • Crusading Evangelists That People Do Not Want To Make Eye Contact With
  • People avoid you for a reason. You are annoying. Recruiting is so cult-like. No, I don’t want a brochure. For the umpteenth time. Ever heard of “Don’t call us, we’ll call you”? I’ll let you know when I’m ready for some salvation.

      as for the evangelists: there’s this Jehovah Witness lady who’s regularly hanging out at the foot of the escalator at Cadillac station, handing out her pamphlets. AFAIK, she’s not having much success.

      And also: I live across from a Baptist church. Not that I care or anything. Anyways, one day, I was waiting for the bus near my home when this lady of a certain age was waiting for the bus too after attending that church. She started trying to evangelize me and telling me about how Jesus was coming back, etc. I listened politely, nodded, and then put my headphones back on and turned up the volume.

      So yeah: good for you if you have faith. But leave the rest of us sinners alone.
