Counting flowers on the wall

This morning I walked into Dunkin' Donuts at the same time as a lady who was dressed for work.  She motioned for me to in front of her in line.  "Trust me when I say this, ma'am," I said.  "I am not in a rush today." 
 
Maybe she looked at my eyes that were bloodshot from playing video games until 3 am. 
Maybe she looked at my face that hasn't been shaved in a week. 
Maybe she looked at my shorts that had balsamic vinegar stains on them from dinner last night.
 
But she quickly got in front of me and kept her distance until she left.
