At U Scan, paying for my items:
Girl at the U Scan next to me: are you humming?
Me: (totally in my own world, still humming): What? Oh yeah. I guess I am.
Girl: Cool. Sounds nice.
Me: (mildly irritated by the fact that a stranger just praised my public humming for the sake of social convention—which by the way, she had no business commenting on—but also realizing I am not good at being a person in public, and feeling awkward about it): Totally.
No further conversation occurs, I pay for my purchases, gather my bags, and leave the store. This is journalism.
