Comment of the Week
“Unless you’re looking to create your own Fight Club, a suggestion to go along with gazing uncomfortably at a stranger is to smile, nod or say ‘top of the morning!’ in a very strong Irish accent. Staring them down may not be in your best interest… well, unless a ‘mad dog’ moment is your desired ‘discomfort’.”
