March's Law

[kitanzi]

Why is it that the sight of someone quietly sitting and reading in a public space INVARIABLY prompts anyone and EVERYONE walking in to start a conversation with them?

I suppose it could be a useful phenomenon if I was actually trying to find a way to strike up conversations, but it was my all too short lunch hour and I was reeeeading..... (/whine)

Presuming the interloper isn't on the make, maybe you could start wearing that t'shirt I've seen that says "I'm READING! Go to hell!", or some such. Or maybe a large button that says "I'm PM and I'm armed!". :)
