Hid very off-topic post. Modnote given. {WE?}
Yes I would.
My small village there are a few people everyday standing at the entrance to the only store. I’ve seen them 100s of time. Most of them know my husband.
They call me Ms.“his first name” (don’t ask, don’t know). I’ve never once given them money. They buy beer with money they collect. I don’t care they drink beer. I just ain’t financing it.
But, if a perfectly strange person talks to me in public, man or woman. I don’t care about their humanity or what ever you seem to think that means. I don’t owe my time, attention, easiness in my fear of people to allow them to get to me. I’m great at zoning out and walkin’ on by. If I feel I can’t for some reason I put my ear buds in. Helps immensely.
I do not understand why people, M or F feel they gotta talk to me. I’m a stutterer I’m not likely to speak to anyone but my family. They can’t know that, for sure. But, when I don’t speak back they get perturbed. I speak ASL, to them. Then they just holler. It’s ridiculous. Take a clue. Please.
