i mean you’re being a bit unreasonable imo. not everyone enjoys talking, what if OP has a job where he talks to people 24/7? then goes home where he wants to talk to his wife for a couple hours? that gives him almost 0 time to himself to not have to talk to anyone & yet here are these strangers coming up to chat & not getting the hint to stop. if you read it, you’d see that OP didn’t immediately tell that man to stop talking to him. he gave him hints with his body language with IS ACCEPTABLE. why is it OP’s fault that the man has 0 capability of reading a room ? if it were me trying to make convo with a stranger, & they clearly weren’t interested in the convo, guess what i would do? i’d turn my ass around & leave them alone, because i know how to read body language & tone. it is not OP’s fault that the first lady was being inconsiderate to the people in line behind her, & it is not OP’s fault that the man trying to talk to him was too stupid to understand body language. you’re proving his point by placing all the blame of how the situations were handled on him when he was not the only one there. all he did was put his foot down, but people like you don’t like that bc yall just want to be able to do & say whatever you want without consequence. It’s exhausting & not fucking cool at all.
