Rather than be cruel, couldn't you simply have said "sorry mister, but I'm in no mood for company today"???Quote:

The irony is Grib's a prime candiate for ending up a company starved old man trying to talk to strangers in a hamburger joint. No offence Grib.
I gave him every indication that I was in no mood to chat. His ignorance angered me. He ruined my lunch so I made damn sure to ruin his.
Oh, I know that's my future. No wife and no kids. Once I'm forced to retire I won't have anything. I figure I'll take what money I have and travel the world for a while. Then I'll stop some place with lax regulations and buy myself some barbiturates.
When I'm an old man I'm going to devote myself completely to video games. I figure they'll have online Masters tournaments by then.
Gribble, grow the **** up. You could have just moved to another place. Certainly, he was infringing on your right to be left in peace, but you also chose to eat in a public place. Find your own empty cave to eat lunch next time.
I don't like people either.
However as I have said many other times I still believe it doesn't hurt to use some manners. I mean what were you really out? So you had to listen to an old man ramble on about something you didn't care about.
I go and ask my 85 year old neighbor if she needs any help around the house everyday. Usually it is only for a couple of minutes. The other day I drove down to the cemetery with her to put some flowers on her husbands grave. It doesn't take that much effort and she is all alone. It makes her happy and gives her a little company.
Many times older people have nobody and all they do really want is just a little human interaction. They are not dead yet and while maybe they don't move as quickly as they used to mentally or physically that doesn't mean they have nothing to offer.
What you did was rude and I feel sorry for that old man. You will be alone and miserable and I feel sorry for you.
I said I don't like people either but that is because I find most of them make the world a worse place to live. YOU are making the world a worse place to live and decaying society by forgetting your manners. It would not have taken that much effort to put down your lunch and said "I'm sorry sir but I find myself in a hurry this afternoon, it was very nice speaking with you. Perhaps I will see you again sometime." Then you could have gone somewhere else for awhile. You could have gotten your silence and he would have assumed he made a new friend.
Don't be a dick.
We're having a Eurovision day at work and everyone needs to bring some food of their song country. Going out in search of Euro food annoys the hell out of me today. I'd rather just give them money and have this over and done with.
Ugh god damnit, my friend who has a kid came over this morning around 8 or so with his whining ****ing baby to play games with my friend who just got off work. I was asleep in my room and I could hear him from my bedroom. I ****ing hate kids and I want to sound proof my door. I can't fall back asleep now.
The fact that i am trying to tell myself that i no longer miss my loved one yet my heart still goes like crazy if i am reminded of her.Simply pisses me off.
The fact that i am used to sleeping with someone in bed,to do everything with someone.
Ohhh...NOOO. My bedroom and the rest of the second floor is getting renovated with woodfloor. The internet was disconnected the whole day so I can't study for tomorrow's quiz until now.
I got a new phone today, and I already miss my old phone. (But I switched carriers - my old plan sucked.) I had my old phone for 3 years, and aside from taking pictures of the inside of my pocket all the time, it was pretty nice. This one is mostly the same but doesn't feel as nice. :(
And I need my ringtone back!
The exam i have to take today,i really don't understand anything about it.
I feel really shit today, i really dont want to go on this date tonight, but i will feel like a bitch if i cancel. Ugghhhhh.
The sun is about to come up and I'm not tired.
