Balancing friendliness with situational awareness and suspicions isn’t an easy task. But then, in today’s world where we’re not promised any tomorrows even in the most bucolic of settings (thinking back to the Amish school massacre) it’s important to enjoy every minute of this life we have. Every minute which passes and each breath that we take are truly gifts..!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
And no I do not look around at random people and acknowledge them because I do not want to be noticed.
Leave your penis alone...leaving your body accumulate a ready supply of male hormone does wonders for any fight or flight situation please understand in Europe not looking at someone in the eye is looser-ville for you ..bigtime
thank you for the different perspective so in europe, everyone looks people in the eyes. if they don’t; they are weak??
Different?...No = standard...do a quick google More so in 'our' business than others, often you will have a shifty lil shit never wanting to look you in the eyes his masterbation is not my problem his lack of communication is ... quicker to be rid of this creep now than to face the likely consequences
I'm Used to Being Stared At because I'm Pretty an Such but ion Meet There Gaze Unless My Hubby With Me So IK I'll Be Left Alone an Not Have Some Creepy Guy Bothering Me or W/E. I Don't Even Wanna Talk to Strangers Either because A) I Can't Talk Very Well an it's Embaressing an B) I Don't Trust People Who are Direct an in My Face Like that. If You See Me Out Just Leave Me Alone I Dont Want to Talk to Anybody I Don't Already Know an It Takes a Long Times for Me to Be Comfortable Around Someone IRL an Plus it Make Me Nervous to Be Approached By Strangers. ~Toni~
I feel this one on a deep level. I spent most of my life trying to be UNDER the radar. It’s one thing if people approach you, totally different story meeting the eyes of strangers on the street. Now I can definitely say that I do this WHILE being situationally aware most of the time. I always surprise my girlfriend with this lol
I feel this is just a culturally Australian thing. It's the "how ya going" stereotype. I grew up in a relatively small city in England, and people were generally quite cordial to one another but less often did that go beyond hello. That's a British thing - reserved but polite. In my general experience, Australians are much more open in acknowledging others (even if it's to tell a cunt to fuck off ). Which suits my personality just peachy, since I'm a Chatty Cathy and I'll take an extra forty minutes going anywhere because I've stopped to have a chat or five.
This is also why I'm nearly always wearing earbud headphones in public, I want to be left alone. Of course people these days are too dense to be situational aware and cannot be bothered to see you are wearing headphones.
Most Times If ion Even Wanna Hear Peoples B/S They Saying or Talk I Just Leave My Hearing Aides Out too lol. Not Contacting Me. Unless You Know Sign Language. ~Toni~
No idea why somebody wants to know where I live.....It wouldn't do you any good anyways if I don't already know ya. Upstate NY, for the record. Altho it IS weird to ask strangers this question.
i was telling one of my helpers to just wear headphones while he is working. especially if the clients talk a lot or interrupt us while we are working. i tell them ‘let them talk and make a big gesture taking your headphones off and ask them what? sorry i was listening to music’ the first couple of times they will repeat what they said but after the third or fourth time they stop wasting our time and bothering us with stupid shit they will say sometimes. not really stupid, i mean they are all very nice and good people, just trying to get work done and we can’t if we keep getting interrupted .
I've gone so far as to ask a client to "please stop talking to the crew, you're costing yourself money." And I'm still waiting for that bad review to roll in
you know i have had people i hired tell me not to talk to the workers and i totally understand. i wish i could remember those conversations. i don’t want my worker wasting time talking
