interpret this
My hairdresser asked me some time ago if anybody has told me that when I don't smile I look really scary. I said of course. But it doesn't mean it's my fault that I don't feel like smiling and intimidate you as a consequence; it's hardly feasible or normal to walk around with a silly grin; I'll rather look grumpy than retarded thankyouverymuch. And I can't be blamed for using it to my advantage especially in the event of a bad service. A face void of any trace of smile would imply that your service has pissed me off and you'd better stop messing around. Most often than not I'll get either better service, a more flustered server, or another server. But to most other people, if I'm not smiling I'm not mad, I may simply be in my own world because I don't think people smile so much in theirs.
"I like the way things are right now." Wish I could say that forever.
