So the reason why I don’t like
conversing, is I like being accurate. I like the sequential step-by-step explanation
of a narrative. So for example the other
day when I told the store bagger when I got to the end of the line, “Thanks for
bagging. For a second there I thought you looked like Marcos.”
If what I said were accurate it would be as follows, “About
five minutes ago at the start of check-out line, I saw your beard, and for a
second I thought you looked like Marcos.”
The issue
really is the word second. My second
when said was in the future. But the
second actually referenced was in the past.
AND THERE IS LITERALLY NO TIME TO CONVEY IT. I would get flack for holding up the
line.
The
other problem, I think this is a problem for women-- when mentioning any
physical aspect to a person of the opposite gender you get misinterpreted as
flirting. No, I really just want you to
understand me.
