MATHEMATICIAN: (after handing the curt waitress who didn't crack a smile all evening his credit card) I don't think she likes us.
ME: I don't think she likes waitressing.
The Mathematician nods contemplatively.
ME: It's cool. Sometimes I like it when people are bitchy to me. It means I don't need worry about being nice to them, which sometimes makes things more efficient.
The Mathematician nods. Efficiency is something he can certainly appreciate.
This is so true! Sometimes when people are unfriendly, it's such a relief!
