Upper class asian chick in the line ahead of me at the post office. I'm paying attention to my mail then suddenly notice her because she's dressed sharp. An opener pops into my head. Then I freeze.
"Wait, she's asian and looks close to 30, so she's probably married." I think. "Let's wait and see if she's got a ring before I open her." And so I stand there in line, hoping for her to shift and adjust so I can see her left hand.
Only once she gets to the head of the queue and walks away do I see she doesn't.
Fuck me. Just follow the 7 second rule and OPEN OPEN OPEN. What's the worst that could happen? I flirt up a married woman, she's flattered and takes that energy home, and fucks her husband while fantasizing about me.

"Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. I'm so glad I'm a Beta."
