I walked into a store. I thought to myself, hey, I know the cashier, I can say hi to her. I've been trying to be more social lately, so I was trying to take an initiative. As I approached, I saw that she was reading a magazine and wasn't paying attention, and I have a weird thing about interrupting people to say hi, so I was about to look away as she looked up but then I realized that she saw me looking at her without saying hi and so I kept turning my head away and pretended like nothing happened and, yeah. I'm such a goofblock. Of course, she immediately said hello and began conversing with me. How did I screw that up? That was exactly what I wanted to avoid. I'm going to start carrying a Taser or some pepper spray to protect me from myself. If I mess up, I'll just zap myself and at least then I'll know they don't think I'm arrogant.
Is this klutzy enough?
It has been pointed out to me that people with out AS see saying hi to people as more important than reading their paper. No, really! I am not kidding you. So next time, say hi. what is she going to do, call the police?
Her: he said "hi!" to me, arrest him, NOW!
Police Officer: the Lint Licker! how DARE he?! You have the right to remain silent. . . now, don't get smart, or I will tazer you!
You: eep! I will never say 'hi' to someone that is reading the paper, I have learned my lesson!
