    You ever get the feeling that people think you're an imbecile? It's weird, you act friendly towards people, try to be helpful, smile when you see them but they act condescending or patronizing in return.

    There's this one dude who's always coming into my shop, orders the same old thing every single time, so I try to interject some friendly and fun banter into our interaction but he's dismissive and snobbish, for instance , he knows my name, I tell him every time he come in, it's even on my name tag in big letters right under east end deli & seafood. He just keeeps calling me "Buddy".

    • Sometimes I feel weird if someone at the supermarket or pharmacy is really nice. Like "why are you so happy? your job sucks."freedom
    • There's also a difference between being genuinely nice and "did you find everything ok?" nice.freedom
