New neighbour asked me what highschool I go to

[Mix]

My mouth started responding before my brain told it what to say and I was trying to get it to stop, but it just slowed down the sentence and ended up sounding like I didn't believe what I was saying. 

She said, "so what highschool do you go to?"

And my actual response was, "no..I'm...a grown man."

I might as well have said, "I'm a big boy!"

The smile on her face when she said, " you look so young," might as well have been roaring laughter. 

I just pushed the lawn mower back into the garage. Fuck the grass....fml

Dude…I’m about to be 40 and people still mistake me for a teen or young adult. It’s almost flattering sometimes, but it’s also a major “fuck you” to them.

I didn't know conjugal visits could involve role play these days

That didn't bother me. I just hate how I constantly put my foot in my mouth. I could have easily turned that into a fun exchange and made friends with the new neighbour. Now, I have to avoid/ignore them till they move and I get a fresh start with who ever moves in next.

It's true, lol

this is the only fucking way to handle this situation from hence forth

I have never spoken to my neighbors in the 10 or so years they've lived next door

at this point, it's been so long it's just awkward to try
