I am over 30, pls stop pretending to like me..I know when someone likes me. My bodega guy never smiles but puts extra cream cheese on my bagel & doesn’t charge me extra. Slides Swedish Fish in my bag for no reason. Doesn’t laugh at any of my jokes. I know when someone likes me.

Last night a guy followed me into a bodega. When I told him to leave me alone, he said that I couldn’t stay in the store all night. Then the store owner told him to leave, he didn’t, the owner hopped over the counter with a lock and they fought in the street. Bodegas forever.
