That Smile ... It's Fake

One of my pet peeves in life is people (women ... I've never seen this in a man) who smile too much. They can be standing there telling you just about anything and there's that smile. I suspect that inside they are saying/thinking something totally different. I recently tried to describe this to my sister and the only thing I could come up with is the Stepford Wives.

Who ever made that movie lived where I have resided for the past two years.

I am a California Native. Born and raised. One thing I can say about people there ... they are honest. You may not like what they have to say but they don't smile and tell you how wonderful something is, when it really sucks.

I had quite a few people tell me before we moved how much I was going to love the people here. In fact the group of guys who packed and loaded our stuff were the most adamant ... they raved about how wonderful people from the south were, over a catered dinner we had purchased for them ... then one of them stole my $500 camera with all the memory photos I'd taken over the last two weeks.

You can have the %&*%%$# camera ... just give me back my memory stick.

I'm not sure what this phenomenon is but I don't like it.
