Guy across aisle on plane home from Vegas tonight did not shut up for 4 hours. Apologized in advance for talking a lot but he gets nervous on airplanes.
These monthly letters I get from Century III Kia that make it seem like I am getting some uber personalized letter from them regarding how in demand my Hyundai Elantra is (I sold it last year to someone else) and that I can get a great deal for it. They started at as a confidential letter in the style where you have to rip off the top and bottom to get to the letter. Now I get a one page printout that looks like someone printed an email from Outlook. The bottom email is mocked up to be an email from the sales manager to the salespeople about their great November but used car inventory is really, really low. The top email on the page is a sales person replying to that email and mentioning to the manager that they tried to contact me about my Elantra but would send this note to me in the mail. On the printout is a sticky note with a message on it (printed using some handwriting looklike font) from the salesman saying that I should call him. Yeah, ok. Everytime I see a letter in the mail with a return address of "Program Headquarters" from some city in Florida I know I am getting one of these things. Do people really fall for this marketing tactic?

Front desk security guard at my new office is one of those guys who just names the day of the week it is when you say "how are you?" He also says "what's up" each time you walk in and out of the door no matter what the frequency. Yesterday I was helping to carry food in for the Christmas lunch and had to make "what's up" small talk 6 times in a matter of 10 minutes. Nice enough guy but that's just too much and makes it awkward

You must have been using them incorrectly. The cord goes around his neck.

Story ended with his gf coming to get him to drive back to Punxsy or wherever and each of them thinking the other was driving- she got drunk at the airport, he got drunk on the plane. Soooo.... Lol
I know more about this jag than I know about myself.

i would have no issue looking straight ahead, putting on headphones and closing my eyes in between sentences. but i also give off the "don't talk to me under any circumstance" vibe to people who i sense are a threat to my inner peace.

Nahhhh ya don't say!
it's an important distinction that i didn't say, "everyone". i'm usually quite pleasant to strangers who aren't in other cars. but i have a radar for problematics.
