usually, talking seems to take too much energy to be worth the cost benefit analysis.
especially @ work. home depot. home depot is constantly loud, dirty, and dangerous. parking lot and store. sometimes i have to interact with customers or employees that are far away (distance). plenty of customers do not speak english, or are hard of hearing, or not listening, or just do not understand. some of them do not have "excuse me" in their vocab, just "huh" and "what".
usually when i try to say the slightest thing, those annoying lil dipshits do not:
hear
care
understand
believe
remember
what i said
f**k those stupid ass holes s**t.
