ciao!

I admit it.
I will never be one of those hipsters who can get away with substituting everyday phrases like "hi" or "bye" with slightly cooler words like "ciao" or "cheers."

I went to Starbucks (aka hipster central)and the guy said "ciao" to me...
...I didn't want to sound like an uncultured fool and just go with "good bye", so I said:
"Ciao to you too."
I know, I crossed the line. I immediately regretted saying it when I saw his awkward smile and started blushing..it was terrible! This is what happens when people who should really stick to the kindergarten basics of "later alligator", try and up the fancy with salutations...you are ordained into the convent of douchedom.

cheers,
Steph
