Obnoxious Coffee Shop Pest
I was walking to my office building this morning and passed a coffee shop that is a hangout spot for courier/messenger guys. I have never been bothered or even noticed by any of them — I’ve been going past these men everyday for a year now. So I was surprised when one suddenly turned to me this morning and said “Smile sista. No long faces. You need to smile.” I replied quietly “You are being obnoxious.” I think he learned something new.
