Ok, so I guess I side result of all this is I am all the sudden much more assertive to stand my ground versus the way I was which was 'passive aggressive' as XW would put it.
I'm out on my break having a cigarette which now we have to leave the campus to smoke, and anybody who knows the West Side of Chicago, is a taking your life into your own hands ordeal.
So I'm puffing away and minding my own business and this guy comes from around the corner:
"Hey man, let me buy a smoke off you" Sorry I only I brought one down "C'mon man, I'm dying for a smoke" [firmer toned]I don't have another one "Alright, I'll give you a quarter and smoke it with you" [firmer yet]I don't think so! "C'mon dude, I'm paying you and want to smoke!" [blasted]NO!!!
Look on his face was priceless as he literally jumped back, then walked away mumbling something, constantly looking back at me.
I've never been known as the confrontational type outside of my own 'secure zones'.
Heh, felt kind of good, real good actually.
