No one appreciates my little gestures of kindness.

I’m aware of the fact that I am--well, let’s put this bluntly--quite a bit cooler than most of my friends and associates. But I don’t want them to feel uncomfortable around me.

So I’ve been walking up to them and saying “I just want you to know: I’m still I’m still Greg from the block.”

To my astonishment, the frequent response is “Shut up you halfwit.” This is what I get for being magnanimous.
