1) get one of those old Nokia belt-mounted phone cases 2) order business cards that say "I am not your teachable moment." (Optional: another line, "Fuck off.") 3) ? ? ? 4) peaceful fishing How about a shirt or hat that simply says "Nope"?

I don't know if it's the vague suggestion of a gun in a holster or what. Maybe also that they tend to be worn by scowling old white men who look like someone gave them more authority than they really ought to have..

Ah yes, the "I will attempt to force you to take me as seriously as I take myself" scowl.

Little do you know, I've got a meme holster on my belt and start every morning off with quick-draw meme drills over my cuppa joe.

I do and they kind of give me this cherub look I think people find very approachable. I mean, I am an approachable person, but I have to actively and intentionally do things, like when I'm traveling for example, to deter people from talking to me (headphones are a good one but even they fail sometimes lol) I can't even count the amount of times I've had long drawn out conversations on a plane while actively trying to put headphones in or read a book, etc, to no avail lol

I guess I just look pretty average, and I guess that's enough for people to just want to talk with me. I try to wear dark, neutral colors to not be seen, but I seem to be a magnet for unwanted conversation, lol.

Though honestly I want to clarify that these events of unwanted conversations, while they can be annoying, are not on the same level of those of the PWD I've spent time with and experienced a day in their life (which includes SOR). Not even close. I am definitely a proponent of the Nokia belt holster though. That is brilliant lol

Maybe I should wear Nickelback t-shirts or something

but Braced4Impact then you'd be attracting attention from Nickelback fans... Lol I feel bad for Chad Kroeger. Do you think he faces harassment when he goes out in the world, since we've kind of collectively all decided to hate on Nickelback? I've always wondered what his life must be like

Haha oh believe me I make fun of the whole thing too. But I may or may not have a playlist of early 2000s raspy alternative rock that includes the likes of Nickelback and co lol
