@CloudyMrs Also, I seem to have noticed that when one DOES have a superficial human interaction w/a stranger, they don't seem to even fathom irony or sarcasm anymore. I was in a Wally's yesterday buying cold drugs and when checking out the employee had to ask me if I was over 18. Full head of white hair on me. I laughed and asked "is this a trick question?". She seemed actually annoyed that I interacted w/her. Possibly b/c I'm an Undesirable, but I suspect there's more to it.
