They have this saying, "If it looks like a duck and it acts like a duck, it's probably a duck."
It's one of those pseudo-idiom bits I chuck around like a softball, because I like the way they sound and they tend to add perspective to things.
I guess, though, if I were to tweek it a bit so it fits my current situation, the "D" would be an "F".
I've been getting told to fuck off left and right.
Well, not really, that's an exaggeration, but by three good, close people.
It isn't exactly an isolated incident, what with three counts, right?
If three people find a reason to tell you to fuck off, there's likely something you're doing wrong, 'cause the only permanent variable in that equation's you.
I walked into a room a ways back with a couple Friend-of-a-Friends and I started chucking jokes and being chummy like I'd been to Kindergarten with them. They promptly gave me a one-finger salute and told me they didn't care what behavior I was used to flying, because it didn't fly there.
Maybe it's like that, and I'm being too casual, then?
I'm not exactly sure.
Coming on too strong?
That's a definite possibility.
Either way, I need to fix something with myself, or that "Fuck off" counter'll hit four and five within the week. If I can't fix it, I should probably just heed the thoughtful suggestion and fuck off.
There was an Ichirin-Duck doodle to go with this, but I suddenly don't feel like drawing.
