This reminded me of a time my friend tells me I looked like an absolute badass, but from my point of view is a panic-blurt moment.

I was at pride, and walking to meet some friends. I passed by a green party booth and they tried to pull me in to talk about the green party, and I just wanted to go see my friends.

Me: walking quickly

Green party people: hey, would you like to learn more about the green party?

Me: nope. Communist. Thanks!
