Me, seeing someone reading a book: “what are you reading?”
Me, seeing someone reading on a kindle: “I would never presume to delve into the private details of your life.”
And I can’t explain that.
Pretty neat how there is an unspoken agreement in all waiting rooms that things that are 0% interesting are suddenly 112% interesting. Privacy policy pamphlet? A triumph of literature. Cell phone usage instructions? Inspired, groundbreaking, a must-read.
Instead of saying “I’m tired,” I’m now just going to start showing people how much I have to adjust the angle of my rear view mirror between the morning and afternoon.
