()I saw this person the other day at the store and they made me think of you
$*hmm?
()She just spoke like you do
$*i don't think we've ever spoken
()Typed, whatever, you know what I mean
$*and what about the way she spoke made you think of the way i type
()She called me an idiot under her breath because I missed the card swipe
()And she had this really quiet voice
()Like her natural speaking level is a whisper

$*well
$*i absolutely would call you an idiot for missing the card swipe

()That's rude
$*i don't really think it's rude
$*it's pretty hard to miss a card swipe unless you're blind or something
$*you're not blind are you
$*this would be really awkward if you turned out to be blind

()No
$*oh so you are just an idiot then
()Again, that's very rude to say
$*well, it could have been worse
$*imagine if the second time you swiped you didn't have enough credits on it
$*that'd be so embarrassing

()Has this happened to you before?
$*yes
()Idiot

()Jeez
SYSTEM // $* connected \\
()Bit dramatic, don't you think?
$*you're just being mean
()Oh so it's fine for you to call me an idiot, but I can't metaphorically swing back?
$*chivalry is dead
()I'm not even a man anyway
$*you never told me
()You never asked
$*well i'm asking now
$*if you want to answer that is

()Can we go back to the woman at the store?
$*sure
()Anyway
()She speaks like she's afraid of people hearing her
()Bit defeatist of the purpose of speaking in the first place, you know

$*i do not speak and/or type like that
()I dunno, I always imagined you speaking with a low voice like you know the things you say are mean but you say them anyway
$*i think mean is an exaggeration
$*i don't think i would say these things out loud to a stranger though
$*i'd probably silently judge them
$*that sounds more like me
$*to me at least
$*oh shit
$*it's late, i need to shower and get to bed

()See you
$*bye
$*don't miss the card swipe next time

()Cheeky
