I am never, never, NEVER,
Without them, people just walk up to me and start talking like we're not strangers. And tell me things they shouldn't tell strangers! I don't want to hear about the long, hot baths the man old enough to be my father keeps telling me about! I don't want to know how many different 'my baby's daddy' one woman has! I don't want to know what the bathroom was like the last time so-and-so went in it!
Curse my approachable demeanor!! Why can't I have some sort of hostile vibe that says 'Do not talk to me. I do not care about any of you. I don't care about anything that's EVER happened to you. Don't tell me about it. Any of it. Go about your business and I won't bite your nose from your face and spit it at you.'
But I don't. Apparently there's some sort of blinking sign over my head that everyone can see but me. "Unburden your soul!" it flashes. "Voice all thoughts here!"
Oof.
I hate that job.

NEVER
NEVER
