Peach Fuzz

Just finished up a peach bought from the local 'vegan friendly' grocery store and am now battling the remnant peach fuzz that may or may not still be on my cheeks and lips.  Eating a peach with the little hairs all over never fails to leave a hairy trail and itch behind.  We can compare this sensation to many experiences I think... such as useless conversations... Let me explain.

When you speak with someone in passing... whether it be in person, on the phone, on chat, email, text... whatever... most people are left with internal questions about what was the point/lesson/effect of that interaction.  The reason it relates to the annoying peach fuzz?  Because normally what is left is the realization that it was a complete waste of thought and breath.

(Wow, I sound negative today)

I'll give you a common example.  Say you have a short conversation with the lady at the cash register who is scanning and bagging your goods.

She says "Hello, how are you doing today?" 
You casually respond "I'm doing well, thank you.  You?" 
"Good, good." she replies.  

Already, in this short transfer of words we have some irritating fuzz....

1)  Friendly lady didn't make eye contact when she asked how I was, means she doesn't really care how I am and she probably is just told to say that as part of her job.

2) She said "today" rather than "this afternoon" or "this morning" which means its more likely she is just told to say this to the customers OR she says it so she won't have that odd experience of saying the wrong section of day in the greeting.

3) In saying "I'm doing well" you are just giving her some BS response because she doesn't know you at all and you should not tell her any details about your life because she has no need to know.

4)You asked a return "You?" not because you want to really know how they are doing, but because if you don't, you MIGHT be thought of as unfriendly.  Going with the flow of society on that one....

5) "Good, good." her response did not answer my question for how she was. Even if I genuinely cared to know how she was doing... she has now turned the tables and confirmed that she doesn't actually care to be friendly.

6) ... she is just doing her job. So quit over-analyzing the situation [said to self]

The conversation and its analysis, in its totality, was an utter waste of breath and thought which now I have shared with you all.  As are most interactions with people on a casual basis...they only serve to add more 'fuzz' in my brain like that darn peach did on my cheeks. 

This is why I prefer to purchase on Amazon where no useless human contact occurs.
