Get a dog…..

He went to the birds.

There you go….I live where there are no neighbors, just trees and I love my neighbors. I LOVE people…I love the quiet and pitch black nights more

Linus from the comic strip “Peanuts” once said: “I love mankind…it’s people I can’t stand!!”

Yep, ‘Cosmo’, I know how you feel. In the last few years, I’ve met more people that I would prefer not knowing than people I would like knowing ! ! !!

Yup.

People are great … except that they are … you know … people.

I feel his pain

“Uh-oh…”

“People…”

7.753 billion of them.

Agent K in Men in Black: “A Person Is Smart. People Are Dumb, Panicky, Dangerous Animals And You Know It.”

This whole strip is for the birds.

Cosmo is pretty much spot on. I have to make an effort to not turn into a curmudgeon.

switch to being a P.O. (people observer). more rewarding, less inconvenience, and above all less interaction with controlled levels of emotional outcomes and you own the controls. If you start early enough in life you can turn it into a profession and get paid for it without actually being involved. think Pavlov’s dogs type thing.

That’s the risk you take in associating with people. As a newsman, you should’ve known that, Cosmo.

“I used to be a people person”

…said a bird.

Looks like he made her disappear!

Cosmo after listening to Gotye : People became “Somebodies that I Used to Know.”

They tend to do that, especially lately

I’ve never been fond of people, either. I’m sure the feelings mutual.
