A Day on Planet Earth

Steven

"You pile of pillocks..."

A thread documenting your contact with the neurotypical world

*2 minutes into a pleasant conversation in my local store*

ME: "I'm autistic."

The shopkeeper literally takes a step back, as if Autism is contagious.

------------

SALESMAN: "Good morning! I'm from Encyclopedia Britannica."

ME: "Is that the one with the spaceship?"

SALESMAN: "No, that's Battlestar Galactica. Goodbye."

Okay, that last one didn't happen. Yet. Keep us updated with your daily adventures on the strange Planet of the Neuroconfusings.

  • I'm at my Artist friend's home, staying overnight - Art Classes in Moneymore resume tonight - and I took him to Draperstown; to buy hardware stuff, for his artwork. In the end, we got what we needed. However, there was a hardware shop I didn't know the location of; but it's the 'Royal Family' of Draperstown; two women of that family went to School with me.

    On the way back, we were held up for the first five or six miles by a tractor with a slurry tanker. I was frazzled; after dealing with an unpleasant encounter in Cookstown, this afternoon, while trying to get a massage. Window cleaners blocked the entry/exit at Superstars, causing a right kerfuffle when I wanted to get out.

    Meanwhile, I had a thumping headache; all day. All the Melters in this country do my head in; big time.

    I really like the names of the places you mention. 
    and what are ‘melters’?!
