Let me tell you something fundamental to Knowing Gary...

Do NOT fucking repeat yourself. I heard you once. The first time. I absolutely detest having to answer the same questions or respond to the same thoughts more than once. Basically, I don't like opening my fucking mouth more than I need to. May surprise people who know me as Gregarious Gary, but if you REALLY know me -- and perhaps few do -- you know that i'm the type who is perfectly FINE with long silences on a long car ride. I like peace and quiet if i'm not in a social setting. If i'm reading, I don't want to fucking engage in chit chat. If i'm trying to write an email or surf the net, I want silence. If i'm alone in my thoughts on a beach, on a walk, in the forest, even on the subway...STEER CLEAR of me. Do not EVER talk to me during a movie or TV show or I may finally snap and punch you in the face. So, no, I do NOT, for example, need to be told 5 times in 2 hours to take home some tomatoes. I HEARD YOU the FUCKING FIRST TIME! So don't get PISSY when I talk to you "that way." And don't act like I'M the one with the problem, that I'M the one with an attitude, that I'M a nasty human being in need of an attitude adjustment. Ugh. This day's been agitating since BEFORE I got out of bed. I need a soothing trip to a well-stocked, imbecile-free supermarket...
