I should not have bought that buffalo chicken popcorn. That stuff is too hot and the husks are doing me in. No wonder why bags were on sale.

My wife is cute and has a pleasant demeanor. Which apparently makes her a person to stop and talk random about something. TWICE in the past 3 days, some old cranky bat stopped us outside a store. Halloween eve, we buy candy - mainly for us. (Kids don't trick or treat in our area much anymore.) Lady behind us asks about the candy. "Getting ready for Halloween?" Candy for home, we might have kids coming. "I used to do that, but certain people bring a carload into the nice neighborhoods and drop them off there." (Stay classy, lady.) Yesterday we are loading groceries into our car and a lady getting into her vehicle stops us. "Did you buy potatoes?" No, we didnt. "$3.79 for this bag of potatoes! Can you believe it?!" Okay? "I'm not shopping here anymore!" (Gets in her car and leaves.) Wife and I load the rest of our stuff muttering to each other, "Why do we draw the weirdos? Don't shop here, I don't give a shit." Ugh, this is my life. My mom and I hate small talk with strangers, yet we both apparently have "come talk to me!" faces.

I live in Vancouver which is a city famous for having a lot of rain. Yet every person here constantly has to talk about it. "Hey is it going to rain? I heard it's supposed to rain Tuesday, but clear up Wednesday. This year is supposed to be rainier than last year..."
I've lived here my whole life, I've never owned an umbrella. When it rains, you know what I do? Walk in the rain...

Similarly, I live in Winnipeg, where it was below -30 C for almost a month straight last year, yet we got a little bit of sleet last month, and traffic just slowed to a crawl. No, please, by all means, go 10 down a 50 street. It's not like this happens EVERY YEAR or something. It wasn't even slippery out. It may as well have been raining.

Ugh, this is my life. My mom and I hate small talk with strangers, yet we both apparently have "come talk to me!" faces. I especially hate small talk with people I don't know. Hell, I'm not even keen on small talk with anybody I'm not extremely close with, and can sometimes literally go days without uttering a word to another human being. So, naturally, the last ten years my two main jobs have been bartender and hotel receptionist, making small talk with strangers utterly unavoidable. Baffles me that I wound up in those roles. I'm assuming having those jobs has at least made you adjust and acclimate to making small talk though?

I can bluff it for 10-15 seconds, but anything more than that and it becomes painfully obvious how awkward and uncomfortable I really am. When I said I can go days without saying a word to anybody? Picked up that little habit as a coping mechanism to handle being forced to make small talk on the job.

I feel the more I do acting-stuff, the somewhat easier it is to make small talk and stuff but yeah, even then I tend to have to take a breather from people.

Funnily enough, I have a friend who's a therapist, and she suggested I join a local amateur dramatics society as a hobby.

Saskatoon here, and I hear the same thing every year. What especially bugs me is that people always expect it to get warm in March and are surprised when it's still cold. We live in f***ing Canada. Our winters are long, ITS ALWAYS COLD IN THE SPRING!

I have a cut on my lip that's healing but it still feels weird and it itches sometimes.

People that actually say the word hashtag like they’re speaking on social media. Real conversation with another person face to face and you have to be annoying? #stopityoutwit

Over the weekend I did a massive, top to bottom clean up in my apartment in an effort to get rid of these tiny little bugs I’ve been seeing, which I had assumed to be carpet beetles. But Sunday night I was still finding them and realized they are in fact drain flys coming out of my bathroom sink and bath tub drain. So I contacted the apartment complex office yesterday to tell them, and they even informed me an exterminator was going to be on site today and they would add my apartment to his list. Great, right? Except he went into the wrong freaking room; he left his note dictating what he had done in the kitchen and referred to “treated drain,” as singular. This is on top of the fact that the building will also have crews replacing the windows in my apartment and all the others in this building at some point this week, which means construction workers tracking dirt and whatever all over the floors and rugs I spent the weekend vacuuming, scrubbing, and mopping. So it was all for nothing and I still haven’t gotten rid of the freaking bugs. Pour me a shot, I need it.

When someone talks to me when I'm about to eat or drink something. Do I look like I can answer you right now?
Also, people who park in reverse.

"If you can't do better, you have no right to criticise."
Bullshit. I can't bake worth a damn, but if someone serves me a cake that has raw batter in the middle with streaks of unmixed egg in it, I can damn well tell them they did a shitty job.

I mean, I know what good cake should taste like.
