Real life is getting more like fiction each day

Am I a horrible person because I don't think kids are cute? Sure when babies are asleep and not making noise they can be kinda cute, but the second they wake up and start screaming, not so cute.

I'm sorry, but when I'm in a waiting room and a kid is running around singing at the top of their lungs I find them to be annoying. I don't care if you're encouraging your kid to be the next Bono, tell them to shut up in a waiting room. What if I was in the waiting room waiting on test results to tell me if I was dying... do you think I want to be listening to your kid?

Why are kids always sticky? Even if there is no candy anywhere near them they get sticky.

If I am sitting reading my book minding my own business why am I the rude one if I just smile at the little person talking to me and not talk back? Half the time I have no idea how to answer because I have no idea what the kid said. And really this isn't just little kids, do I have a sign somewhere on me that says "Hello, I give a shit about your life, please come talk to me I don't really want to be reading this book I'd much rather make small talk with a stranger."? If I do please tell me where it is so I can take it off.

I can't count how many times I'll be sitting enjoying my Starbucks and a book or writing something as I wait for the bus and random people just come and sit down next to me and start talking to me. (Of course they are waiting for the bus too, they didn't just come to talk to me). Once I was waiting for the bus in Toronto to come back to Niagara Falls, I was standing in line reading a book and listening to my cd player, there were about 30 people in line and this lady came up to me and asked me what bus I was waiting for. WHY? There were at least 30 other people you could have asked, plus the driver who would know for sure where the bus was going, why did you pick me? She was black, and I think she thought I was black so that might have had something to do with it, but that doesn't really make sense.

I think it's because I look so innocent. I don't look like I'll freak out or be rude of you ask me a question. And I'm not, I answer their questions or go along with the pointless small talk. So maybe this answers my question of why strangers talk to me, because I answer them.
