“I luv your smile”
I was walking back to the hotel from WWDC today along with Ken Anderson and Ronald Oussoren. I was ranting about something (imagine that!) and I heard this voice say “You are too serious! I want to see your smile!”.
OK….
It came from a rather attractive and seriously energetic young lady standing on the corner with a big pile of “I luv your smile” stickers that have a grinning cheshire cat on them. She insisted that I take a sticker with me.
It just completely cracked me up. What a completely odd little experience, but somehow so fitting in San Francisco. What a great city.
She got her smile.
Apparently, this isn’t entirely a unique event.

I hate those smile cops. I smile a heck of a lot of the time, and if it doesn’t happen to be when I’m walking down the street late for a meeting or something, it’s none of their damn business to try to force me into a good mood.

I got one in Birmingham UK and they made me donate 50p. plus it wasn’t from an attractive female it was from a smiley american guy.
