me:
(out shopping, looking all fly with my Marvel comics tote bag featuring several characters)
-
dude:
nice bag.
-
me:
thanks. (keeps on shopping)
-
dude:
do you even know who all those characters are?
-
me:
uh... yeah?
-
dude:
ok then, who's that guy? (points at a character on the bag)
-
me:
-
me:
wait, are you asking me to prove that I'm enough of a fan enough to carry this bag?
-
dude:
(smirks) that's what I thought. He's called the Silver Surfer. I bet you don't even know his real name.
-
me:
does it matter? (starts to edge away before I start punching throats)
-
dude:
psh, you're not a real fan.

me:
(slowly unsheathing my Wolverine claws)

me:
how many pairs of chromosomes do humans contain in their cells?

dude:
-
me:
what is the purpose of myelin sheath with regards to the formation of new neural pathways?
-
dude:
what are you even talking about?
-
me:
oh, well it seemed that you were implying that if I don't know as much about the Marvel universe as you do, then I can't possibly be considered a real fan. This is me implying that because you don't know as much about the human body as I do, you can't possibly be considered a real human being.

Excellent advice.

I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself. For a moment life suddenly feels lighter, a bit more Gene Kelly dancing in the rain.
