Friendly...

Waiting outside the liquor/grocery mart down the street from my house, I was minding my own business.  My sister and her friend were buying things like juice and bagels.  Hoping to avoid being called sweetie by the guy behind the counter, I took a few moments outside to mind my own business.  

This, of course, is the exact thing that most attracts people to me, I think.  I glanced up, met the eyes of a boy (college boy=20-25), and received a pat on the head as he walked by, headed for the entrance.  What the hell?

This was unprecedented and has yet to be repeated, although I did get a high five from another one in almost the same location during the day the following week.

On a more distressing note, a homeless man tried to bite my friend a couple of days ago.  Her comment about the incident?  "That's what I get for being nice."
