 Dear neighbour lady,

I don’t know why I can never get our micro-interactions right.
Initially, I greeted you too cheerfully, and you tutted me as I walked past. Next, I nodded politely with a smile, and you tutted when we passed. Then I wished you a good morning in the most neutral way possible, yet you still tutted when we passed.
I’m done trying to discover what it is that offends you, so next time, I will do a little dance and twirl as I politely inform you that I have run out of fucks.💜
