how rude
i was sitting in the teacher's lounge, trying to read a book. i had just picked it up and was completely engrossed in it, so much so that i hardly looked up to see who walked in. the man, a substitute, immediately started talking. asking small talk questions, then more personal ones. "what are you doing for spring break?" i wanted to say "i don't know you." but i answered politely and then tried to go back to reading. he kept talking! i finally got up and told him i had to go.
major pet peeve #1: do not ask me questions while i'm reading, unless it is something related to food ("would you like a cookie?") or a life threatening situation ("i cut off my hand and i'm bleeding to death!)
