Turn off your Brights
February 13, 2004 · Filed Under Uncategorized
I understand that it is 8 am and you might be a little groggy. Maybe the crusties that adorn the corners of your eyes haven’t been a big enough problem yet that you had to remove them. Maybe it has been 11 hours since your last meal and you really need to eat. Trust me. I understand all of these things.
But please, if you have a 1,000-yard stare going on and it is shooting me right between the eyes and I look at you because I think you are staring at me, please don’t smile at me. Just avert your eyes and let me know that you were staring off into space and I happened to get in the way. By smiling, I think maybe you were trying to get my attention by staring at me. That would be disturbing.
