Why do they even care WHAT you buy or what you do??? These people need to get a hobby or something--find something constructive to do with all of their free time.
I think at this point, I'd start acting really bizarre around people, just to get a reaction--see what they'll say next. Go beyond your porch with the garden hose and your clown makeup  |
They care because I am not from here. I am a "foreigner" (yes, I've actually been called that even though I was born right next door in Alabama). So because I'm "different" they are all very interested in ever little thing I say and/or do. I am torn between being ticked off and irritated, and just feeling sorry for them. Most of them have never left this town and have no idea that a world exists outside of it.
