Casual Insults (Day 1)

“I hate Pandas by the way.”

The voice floated up over my shoulder. It was conversational, almost friendly, and obviously sparked by the fluffy panda hat on my head. At first I thought it was a friend gently ribbing me. I glanced back just in time to see three lean teens push the door open and leave.

As the door began its back swing, I called out. “That was rude!”

None of them reacted in the slightest, leaving me to assume that they didn’t hear me. Why would anyone hate pandas? And why would they say anything when they clearly saw someone wearing a Panda hat? What could possibly make them open their mouth to shit on something that someone obviously likes. It boggled my mind. That kind of attitude had to permeate through the rest of their lives. My only question was why someone hadn’t knocked them on their asses yet?

My frustration must have been apparent on my face because the barista nodded to me and leaned in close. “Don’t worry about those guys- they’re pricks. I get bad vibes every time they come in.”
