I'll take "Things To Keep To Yourself" for $500, Alex

Dear Lady at the Dog Park with two yappy dogs,

Why, within five minutes of arriving at the park* this morning did I know that you'd been in jail twice, rehab once, in two different homeless shelters, had your dog given away by your mom, almost had your kid taken by the state, have now been clean for 4 years and are nearly 26?

Oh, right, because you have NO CONCEPT of appropriate small talk and are, apparently, completely blind to social cues.

This is the dog park - we talk about shit like the weather and our pets. Please try to be a bit more shallow in your conversational topics.

thanks,

me




*why, yes, that is pretty much my only social life, thanks for pointing that out
