People Are F-cked Up

Ok so it's been roughly 2 weeks at my new job. And needless to say, I absolutely love it! Great staff, nothing but POSITIVITY, and it involves MINIMAL critical thinking (thumbs up). But to the nitty gritty...I don't want to give to much away (even though I kind of did with my last post), but I work for a promotional/marketing company. Basically I walk around trying to get people to sign up for FREE stuff. Yes, I get paid if someone signs up for something FREE. So ultimately, everyone is happy. You don't spend any money, you are just awared (is that a word?) of something completely FREE with no obligation [to buy] for anything. And I get paid since I did my job of promoting and marketing. WELL, this consists me of actually GREETING potential customers and being courteous. And I really don't find being nice to someone hard. It's actually a sincerely and genuinely easy thing for me to do. Cause real talk, I'd want someone to be nice to me too. I walk around smiling at others, greeting people, and even asking, "How are you?", and sometimes I usually do this without asking them to sign up for anything. But I've noticed along the way, people are fucked up. I say this cause in 2008, you can not walk up to someone 10 out of 10 times, say hello with a big smile on your face and expect the same thing back. No.... Here are some reactions I've acquired from the following statement/greeting, both positive and negative.

"Hello. How are you today?"

1. Who are you? [Angry face]
2. Vigorous shaking of the head.
3. Oh God! [Person storms off in opposite direction]
4. I really don't care what you're trying to say, so don't waste my time.
5. Hi.
6. [Ignore]

I talk to on average probably 80+ people a day and I generally hear 1.-4. 90% of the time. And I hate to say it, but on average I see more of a reflection of the population, so I see probably 90% white people. But still I see Asians, African-Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and Other(s) too, and they are fucked up as well. All I got to say it, you (all) need to get your shit together, for real. Why is it so crazy that I smile at you and want to see how you're going? Will it kill you to be nice back? Do you know what being nice even is?

I think I'm going to have to do some research on what country is actually the "nicest" cause I sure don't want my children growing up in this country. Where they'll be looked at as unusual or weird because they will be friendly, happy, and smile at others.

People are FUCKED up!
