    I'm with Rane on this. If there's anyone you should want to be on friendlier terms with its someone who handles your food and drink.

    It's in the goddamn punctuation section

    What more could a Wiki pedant want

    um

    isn't that in the general typography section?

    that's not a subsection of Punctuation, I don't think, it's a separate category

    edit wait nope, he's right, thar she blows
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Punctuation

    Between me and L|ama you actually entertained the thought that he'd be in the right

    Low blow, Rane

    Low blow

    well!

    for a second it seemed he would be!
    this is clearly wikipedia's fault for having weird tables and
    stuff

    I made a vow last forumer opinion thingy to not automatically side against llama, as that's not okay
    treating him better everyday
    and in turn, being ultimately happier

    the oddest neurosis


    what makes it worse is that you know it is so odd but it doesn't matter

    When I was in elementary school, there was one day where the cafeteria always served Chick-Fil-A. I always bought lunch on that day. Eventually, all the lunch lady needed to do was see me walk towards her and she'd be getting the chicken sandwich for me.

    I thought that was pretty neat.

    I don't mind that happening at stores at all. It's only mildly problematic if I ever want something other than the usual. Developing a rapport with the people at the wok place I frequent has led only to good things, like them telling me about a discount card I now use for occasional free meals and maybe even to win fabulous prizes in the future!

    I did find it awkward and uncomfortable when the guy selling the homeless news near the tram station started to get the impression that we were sorta buddies because I was always friendly and polite, so he started inviting me to his place. I haven't encountered him for a few months, though, so it's not really a problem anymore.

    I'm not langly, but I'm going to answer. I have a phobia about people knowing what I do/eat/look at. I also won't browse a bookshelf in a bookstore or library if someone else is nearby, for example - in fact, I used to steal books from my school library (and return them a week later) because I didn't want the person behind the desk seeing what I was reading

    ... holy shit this isn't normal. I'm a freak!

    obviously you don't let it affect your behavior and in most instances it is quite nice that a sort of rapport is built.

    But it doesn't change that inexplicable feeling of being caught.

    I think the weirdest part is that I'm a pretty social person, I would say that I do well in social encounters.

    But for some reason anonymity in all of the realms you listed is really important to me. It's like the weirdest mix.

    And sure, I know, there are plenty of other frivolous things that I could apply that exact same line of musing to. Hell, I could apply it to "people who post on internet forums." But that's where my musing is currently going.

    Well, I guess I can sort of relate to that

    I don't like eating alone at a fast food place or whatever unless I'm facing a wall or something.

    I can never shake the feeling that someone's watching me

    Maybe we have a primal scavenger brain, subconsciously convinced someone's gonna nick our food at any moment

    He sells those magazines that down-on-their-luck people sell. Mostly homeless people trying to make some money to get by and such. He himself is not actually totally homeless. I think he lives in a tiny, cheap appartment intended for people who would otherwise not be able to afford a home. Kind of like a shelter thingy, I suspect.

    I don't know the specifics, I've never taken him up on his offer.
