Just this morning I was out there walking around and it happened again.
People feel they have rights with odd people. They cannot STAND when someone is weird and they cannot figure it out. In the past, I would try to square their circle, make up something to make sense to them. But I can't anymore because it's too hard.
So today a lady starts:
"Are you out here every day?" Clearly she has been noticing I am and is wondering why.
I say yes, and then turn it on her:
"Are you out here every day, too?"
She looks a bit taken aback: "Ummmmm.......I try....."
She keeps going: "Where do you live? Are you near by?"
I mumble that I am not too far and then ask her where SHE lives.
At this point she starts to look uneasy and kind of points over yonder in a non-specific way.
I have noticed when people start to grill me and I grill them with their very own questions, they get all flustered.
For instance, they say, "What are you reading?" I tell them and then ask "Do you like to read?" or "What do you like to read?" And they get all flustered as if I invaded their space.
SO I just discovered a cure for people getting in my space. ASK THEM THE SAME QUESTION BACK!! Kindly, of course. :-D
