Smile!

Very few things annoy me more than when people, and particularly strangers, come up and tell me to smile. This happens to me at work several times a week.

I am rarely in a bad mood when this occurs, I just happen to be concentrating, because, well, I am at work, and I guess I don’t concentrate and smile at the same time. But if I was in a bad mood, having somebody come up and command me to smile would not make me feel any better. I’d probably want to hit them.
