Once I chatted online with a woman
in China.
She seemed nice and friendly until she
asked me what I did for a living.
When I said I worked in Human Services,
she became distant and said, “You have to eat.”
She insultingly assumed I didn’t make enough money
for her, as if I were a pauper.
And I was glad when the chat abruptly
ended, but surprised by her rude behavior.
