<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Today, there was an all-hands meeting at work.\u00a0 I went down to the conference room early so that I could have my choice of seat, and I chose this chair next to wall, but in the front row so it looked like I wasn\u2019t a complete degenerate, planning on dicking around on my phone throughout the entire meeting.\u00a0 After all, appearance is everything, so I\u2019m often told professionally.<\/span><\/p>\n As the clock ticked closer to the start of the meeting, and seats began filling up, the seat immediately next to mine remained unclaimed, regardless of how full up the room was getting.\u00a0 By the time the meeting started, there were at least 10-15 people who were standing against a wall, while the seat right next to me remained vacant.<\/span><\/p>\n In fact, not only was the seat next to me vacant, the two seats immediately behind me were also empty, creating this perfect three-seat halo around me of empty seats.\u00a0 Had this happened on an airplane, I\u2019d be over the moon, because that\u2019s like the broke boy first class, getting a bunch of seats around you left open.<\/span><\/p>\n However, this was not an airplane, but a conference room where everyone had free choice on where they wanted to occupy for the duration of the next hour, the fact remained that three open chairs immediately surrounding me remained open, with numerous people preferring to remain standing, as opposed to sitting near me.<\/span><\/p>\n The low-hanging fruit is that I clearly must smell bad, or emanate an odor that is unsavory to people I do not know, but among my friends and those people who actually take the time to get to know me, most have no problem sitting in close proximity to me, so I\u2019m (hopefully) able to take the stinky hypothesis off the table.<\/span><\/p>\n So the only logical conclusion at this point is that I have fuck-off aura, that is as potent and overpowering as an anime or video game character, at compelling people to stay the fuck away from me.\u00a0 Not that I necessarily mind the space that people give me, it gets to the point where I begin to ponder about the appearance of everyone fucking-off from me, and unfortunately perception is reality, and it probably does me little good to look like a person that everyone else wants to stay away from.<\/span><\/p>\n I do not apologize or feel the need to disclaim that I have the male equivalent of resting bitch face, and that I look pissed off as my neutral state of existence.\u00a0 There are times in which such is the case, but even when I feel as if I\u2019m having a good day, I understand that the expression on my face is that of experiencing the absolutely shitty state of transportation in Santorini, Greece.\u00a0 But people, including my own mother and mythical wife, often implore me to fake it and smile every now and then, which isn\u2019t necessarily bad advice, but faking it, and faking a less miserable expression is tiring and requires more effort and fucks than I\u2019m willing to give, especially in this day and age.<\/span><\/p>\n This was not an isolated incident as well.\u00a0 I have all sorts of memories in my life where relative strangers typically have demonstrated a noticeable aversion to sitting near me, and this isn\u2019t even the only incident off the top of my head in my own office.<\/span><\/p>\n There was once a team meeting, that was especially packed on this particular day, and every single seat was taken, except for the one right next to me.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t help but chuckle to myself at the notion that even within my own team, my fuck-off aura struck again, and the only seat to remain empty was the one next to me, and this was among a lot of company who kind of knew me, as we were in the same department.<\/span><\/p>\n And to add insult to injury, one of the few people in my company that I am not particularly fond of, they meandered into the meeting late, as is customary for the narcissistic asshole they are, but they did a quick scan of the room to look for a seat, and they put themselves into a situation where they were seen scanning, which meant that they had to take something if it were available, and so I had to end up sitting next to my least favorite colleague for the next 40 minutes, all because my fuck-off aura put us into this scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n Like I said, incidents like this have happened numerous times in my life, but it just so happens that it happened to a degree where I finally had the motivation to actually sit down and write about it.\u00a0 And also like I said, I refuse to apologize and ask for forgiveness for looking mean and scary, and if people are unwilling to put their biases aside, then they really can go fuck off.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today, there was an all-hands meeting at work.\u00a0 I went down to the conference room early so that I could have my choice of seat,
