And this is why I'm a hermit

[alexiscartwheel]

Tonight I coaxed myself to briefly leave the safety of my basement dwelling to engage in "commerce" and interact with "people" at a "store."

Target Cashier: How are you?
Me: I'm good, thanks.
Cashier: (looks puzzled)
Me: Good, thanks.
Cashier: I was just asking how are you?
Me: I'm good.
Cashier: (looks at me like I have three heads)

I remember when I lived in Montreal, the awkward conversations I had with store clerks happened because we actually didn't speak the same language.

I have no explanation. *shakes head*

I was in the grocery store the other day and a clerk was showing a lady where the measuring cups were. It sounded totally straightforward to me, but as the clerk walked off I heard him say, "I've got to go have a crisis now."

*shakes head*

Maybe she was deaf?
