Pronoun Chatter

 I sat and read over aa Twitter comment today, and it's been on my mind.

Topic?  Trying to play the pronoun game with hyper-sensitive people.

In dealing with people...even for a 1-minute situation at a coffee shop or pizza situation....I really don't care to KNOW you.  I don't want to know your name, your likes, your hardships, your woes, or your mental condition.  It's nothing personal, but you can figure on a 365 day cycle....there's only about forty people that I meet multiple times.  The other 3,000 people....it's probably a single chance meeting...where I'm asking for a cup of coffee, turning the car over for a tune-up, or asking the butcher just for deli items.   

To get all into this pronoun business....it's like you expect me to return or really get to know you.  That's not going to happen.

If I had to compliment you on clothing?  Well...even when I worked in the Air Force period....other than telling you to get a haircut or shine your boots....I'm not going to say much positive over your attire.  

It just seems like some people are asking for people to get to know them...in some vast way that isn't normal.
