Everywhere! But unlike you I'm worse in unfamiliar places; when the faces are familiar they stop being so autre-ish and become what might loosely be described as "my local community".Reading the Signshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338983880105866139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-62927702253687868372009-06-21T11:46:52.718+01:002009-06-21T11:46:52.718+01:00Interestingly, zhoen, I think my tolerance is slig...Interestingly, <b>zhoen</b>, I think my tolerance is slightly higher when I'm in other cities, rather than that which is my current home. It's as though I take it more personally here. <br /><br /><b>Janette</b>, I realise that this could become a collective rant-fest! I think I'm less wound up by food shopping though (which isn't to say that I <i>don't</i> get wound up), I'm not entirely sure why, except that maybe people aren't rushing around quite so much in the supermarket.<br /><br />Hi <b>angela</b> and welcome! The sketch I linked to was actually different to how I remember it (unless I was thinking of a different sketch) but is still appropriate to the conversation mentioned: it's as though this chap is permanently on the edge of dark despair, and I had just tipped him right into it (inadvertently, I must add..). <br /><br />Let me know if you find that t-shirt :)trousershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879862280895772283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-70620063998925368542009-06-21T03:41:27.210+01:002009-06-21T03:41:27.210+01:00Hello!

I'd rather not be around them. <br /><br />Your reference to Monty Python was hilarious! I suddenly feel an urgent need to locate and wear a certain t-shirt I inherited from my too-cool teenage son which reads "Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled elderberries."<br /><br />Best wishes from Wisconsin, USA,<br />Angelaangela recadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01171018304392191669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-85812138646806766032009-06-21T03:20:49.600+01:002009-06-21T03:20:49.600+01:00Where do I start?

I will not even entertain going anywhere with large crowds and why must people constantly have their phones glued to their ears and then look as if it's your fault when they bump into you?

But there are just so many more people around, wearing me down. And when they are all on cell phones, they really are oblivious. Adaptive for them, not so much for society in general.Zhoenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515663141425057088noreply@blogger.com
