Outline
06:59 - When people give birthday/Christmas/valentine cards and such, when is it okay to throw them away?

More oftentimes than not, I find myself on the other end of some aggressive stares from rough-looking individuals.

With that in mind, what are some things I can do to wig out people who try to stare me down? -- Glaring Gladiator In Gilroy
