    People who try to bff me right off the bat. Let’s warm up with a good morning nod for a few months, then maybe we can try a smile. No, I don’t want to Facebook friend you so i can see your cruise photos.

    I wish people tried to bff me that fast. But I still get where you’re coming from

    People often mistake my politeness for friendliness. I hold doors, say please and thank you, etc. but my biggest problem is probably that I make eye contact when people are talking.

    I believe that can be misread more when the polite one is a woman. They may think I'm polite, a chauvinist or expect me to be carrying a chloroform-soaked rag and run off.

    this is exactly why, whenever a man holds the door open for me and smiles, I just immediately kick him in the ballz. You just NEVER KNOW.

    Sound advice. Exactly what I teach in my 'Chivalry's not dead yet, but you can help' bloginar.

    Make sure to include the ever popular....when a man asks if he can help you carry your groceries make sure to immediately pepper spray him in the eyes because he obviously wants to steal them and probably get into your underwear.

    I've often heard that the way to a woman's heart is through her groceries and ultimately her undies.

    This resonates with me. I am very slow to warm up to people. I need some time to become vaguely aware of their existence, be suspicious of their cheerfulness, and ultimately decide that there are worse people, probably. Then we can move to phase two: the polite head nods, OCCASIONAL eye contact, and if they compliment me on my perfume, maybe I’ll start saying hi and smile like i mean it. It takes me forever to get to the point that I’m ready to start dishing/receiving advice/insults, or whatever it is people do with their friends

    The C words for private parts.

    People who are overly self-deprecating. It is fake to me. Just be real.

    "resting pollyanna face"

    This leaves me with so many mixed feelings, but overall, I think I like it
