Lesson Learned

I learned a valuable lesson today.

If you are left handed and are purchasing something from a store and happen to notice the person is left handed too, DO NOT MENTION YOU ARE LEFT HANDED AS WELL.

This was my downfall. I was in this antique store today and I bought a gift for a friend. The lady was writing up my bill and I noticed she was left handed. I said oh you're left handed so am I. What a mistake. She proceeds to tell me it's messed her up. And when she was little she was forced to be right handed. And she's on a low dose of schitzo medication to make her left and right lobes work together. It was really weird. And very awkward. Nice lady but just a very uncomfortable situation for me.

Why can't I just go places and buy shit without hearing people's fucked up life stories? Is it me or is it weird to just tell random people you've never seen before your whole weird life story? Would you ever do that? I know I wouldn't.

I didn't even know what to say. "oh that sucks that your parents made you be right handed", "I'm sorry to hear that the fact that you were forced to be right handed gave you a speach problem and you had to go to a speach therapist". Awkward.

Oh Well
