You know what really gets me? Sitting peacefully on an empty bus, and a couple chooses the seat right in front of me. Then, the not-so-considerate young lady reclines her seat all the way back—and keeps pushing, as if my knees aren’t already there. Thanks for crushing my ACL I needed that today.

I'm at this networking event was having too many conversations at once and someone asked me what my hobbies are. I drew a blank, took a deep breath, and said 'standing desks.' They nodded as if they understood and then shook my hand and said "It was nice to meet you, thanks for the chat".

I accidentally said "I’ll circle back" in a non-work related conversation, and now my friends are goofing on me talking about how I'm one of those AI chatbots on eCommerce sites. It's not even like I can send a text without a typo so this is going over my head.
