Post-wine texted this to the ex-husband who keeps contacting me

Absolutely! we bleeding heart liberal moonbats we really like reading; and like to see others reading. Come for the socialism, stay for the reading!

I was working outside on my laptop at a coffee shop this week. This guy got a coffee, and then starting saying how tired he was, work sucks, etc., while STANDING BEHIND me. I was the only person out there, so I knew he was trying to get my attention, but I kept working. Finally, he was like, “Ma’am?” and I looked up…

Wow. How often?? That’s a strange thing to ask. Would you ask a gay man “how often, would you say” he gets an epithet thrown at him? Or how often a male of color hears something racist?

In case you’re being obtuse: If it’s daytime it’s guaranteed at least once every time I’m alone and trying to read in a park or subway…

No, I’m actually very aware of social cues. One of my better skills. I see the world as a cohesive being, not me as the focal point. It helps me to better understand what someone I don’t know is feeling or thinking.

I am not Kara, but I’m going to answer this: all the time. Literally, every time I am outside my house by myself. (It happens less often if I am with other people.)

I once had a dude PUSH MY BOOK DOWN because I wasn’t giving him my undivided attention while he was hitting on me. Luckily, a split second before I chewed him out, the older woman next to me when “HANDS TO YOURSELF, SIR.” That lady was so fierce, he got all embarrassed and moved to another seat, mumbling about what…

I mean, I guess I understand if you want to say something, but when I respond with a one-word answer and don’t bother looking up, you’d think the hint would be taken. Apparently not.

I’ll allow it.
