By a complete stranger, no less, who happened to notice my 30th birthday button which I had forgotten was on my coat. Almost burst into tears on the spot, but then I am a bit hormonal today.
Please, fellow lemmings, cheer me up by telling me: what’s the worst thing you’ve had said to you by a stranger?
I still don’t get it… a bad paper round? what even is that
A stereotypical job for kids is delivering newspapers by bike, in often poor weather conditions which leave them bedraggled.
Ohh ok, I had one of those, we just call it a paper route
“Uphill in both directions into a headwind”, if they look really knackered.
mine was all flat, the only problem was it was like -10c for most of the year
It’s along the lines of your paper round was so hard that you still look tired years later. It’s usually used to suggest that someone looks older than they are.
