I'm not usually as confrontational as I was. Like I said, I didn't know that event occurred at all until we had left the shop, she didn't mention anything the 10 minutes we were sitting there after I had gotten back.
Amy has been in situations before where I regretted I wasn't around to back her up. I guess I ran back out of regret for (once again) having not been there...when I was only
15 feet away.
Anyway...I've discussed this with Amy before, she has a tendency to "stare" at people alot without thinking about it. Like, she constantly locks eyes with them, and while maybe in Texas, where she claims it's polite to acknowledge somebody via eye contact, where I come from (Philly), it can definitely be perceived as rude/aggressive. Comin' from a city, I usually just avoid eye contact, and I rarely greet people on the streets. So on that level, I can see why this guy (although unnecessarily) reacted the way he did.
