    Yesterday the young lady working at Tim Hortons told me that their jelly donuts had been discontinued and that no one really sells them anymore. I felt like an old fogey looking for her licorice whips.

    Anyway I went across the street and bought them at Wegmans

    I don't know if I was right or wrong but I was still irked :)

    I went out for my evening walk last night. It was a good song and I was walking kind of in the middle of the street because there was no traffic (I was still on my street) and it's easier and safer in case I pass someone walking a dog and have to jump off the curb and back on again to pass.

    This guy comes up to me holding out a flower he'd picked along with a bunch of other ones (I'm sure he was just trying to be nice) but THE SONG WAS GOOD and I wasn't going to stop so I said I was allergic without slowing down. He keeps up with me and practically shoves it in my face and I yelled so hard at him "I'M ALLERGIC!!!!!!" and it kinda made him go "whoa" or whatever.

    I AM allergic but that's not the point.

    Anyway, when someone says they're allergic to something, you don't shove the item in their face.

    Also it is completely appropriate to be hostile to strange men who approach you at night in the middle of the street. This is not up for debate

    Fair point!

    I only question it because I used to be so shy and quiet. Never really had opinions and did whatever I was told. Now, in my old age, my resting *kitten* face is not an act and I have opinions (usually unpopular ones) all over the place and OMG have I found a voice! :)

    Love this.

    Also I don’t know about where you are but in my old stomping grounds it used to be a fairly common scam to shove flowers into people’s hands and then charge them for it using guilt as a tactic.

    You should test to see if they are a universal one upper by mentioning how much sleep you got the night prior - like - man that 7 hrs last night was awesome. I feel great ! — see if they respond with - bet it wasn’t as good as my 8.5

    I’m curious if they want to one up positive things as well as negative things - or just want to be most miserable or what -

    You have to do this and report back I’m intrigued

    I’m curious about this as well. My suspicion is that people’s general negativity and love of complaining will outweigh their one upmanship.
