Besides there is this very annoying thing nice women like to do in America, it really goes against my grain: A smile for them is a kind of salutation, alas they don't know how to smile so it seems like an uncontrollable twitch. You'd be pushing a cart in the supermarket and somebody in a vanilla blazer dressed for success will cut you off and give you an evil spasmodic grin - from prissy and irritated it jumps like a spark to this fake smile and it wanes instantaneously - and usually you shudder... Or at least I do.
