Did I do the right thing today? Today I went to visit my optometrist to get my eyes checked. As I walked through the door I noticed there was this boy sitting in a chair waiting for his mom to finish getting her eye checked. Right when I sat down in a seat the kid stands up and starts scratching his balls like crazy. I just ignored him and grabbed a magazine. A couple of minutes later he said "Hi" to me and it was kind of awkward. I just ignored him and continued reading the magazine I was reading. The kid then stood up and started to scratch his balls like mad right in front of me.. and I had to get up and go outside. Eventually it was my turn to get my eyes checked and the kid walked right into the room where I was getting my eye checked and just stared at me and the doctor. The doctor also did not make any comments and began to ignore him. So yeah.. other than that everything went well and I went home. You guys have any awkward moments with mentally ill people?

The fact that your BasilID is "UCLA" kinda disappoints me, what with your naive attitude.

My mom is an SEA and even she ignores them. Outside of school, I mean.

darkstarx7 : Excuse me? haha my mistake. I just re-read it and I knew someone would catch that.

you should tell him to stop scratching down there, or else they will fall off. AND THEN HIS MOM WILL MAKE HIM EAT THEM! >:D

I would've strucken up a conversation with him, and talk to him about stuff, since I treat everyone I don't know with a non-prejudicial opinion.
