^^^ these people need to be shot. this always happens to me when i'm reading in the lunch room at work.
"so what's your book about?" is bad enough, but when they just sit and start to talk about whatever random thing is on their minds, that really gets to me. i'm sitting here in the corner seat, my head down, absorbed in my book, tell me how exactly is that an invitation to come and try to engage me in conversation???
next on the list is i hate that i'm too polite to say 'fuck off i'm trying to read a book here' and have to make some attempt to be nice.
