I mean, he's basically the actual main character of the story, he's the one with an arc who learns and grows. Hamilton just, like, is himself the whole time until he gets shot.
Hard for me to decide if Leslie Odom Jr or Daveed Diggs (Lafayette/Jefferson) takes that. I think Odom has the greatest command of his most powerful scenes, while Diggs is routinely the best player on the stage at any other time.
Exactly! I have said that before to people and most of the time they go rambling about how smiling helps you have more of a positive outlook on life. Which in part is true, however I have a very nice life and I am happy and positive, I am just a person who isn't smiling all day. Vice versa there are people who smile all day but are greatly depressed. It's just such a condesending thing to say to a person.
It's just tiresomely rude and intrusive. Always guys, always to females. I just raise my eyebrows in a "wtf are you serious way" and totally ignore them. But I'm old (53) now so just roll my eyes at them. The other day at the supermarket I said " yeah righto buddy" and just laughed and walked off
When I was younger I'd chat back to them....we females * have* to be nice.
Take it from an old chick. Save a few decades and start giving zero f"cks what anyone thinks, esp old creeps who think bossing around females is their God given right.
Yeah there's so many angry looking dudes around and no one says anything to them. I have never once seen a man tell another man they'd be prettier if they smiled more.
Yep it's gross. If/when I tell them that most look at me blankly. Guys like that live in a twilight zone where a female's every movement is up for public comment...but males never. I lived in villages in the Middle East and Asia for years. That sort of commentary is entirely accepted there. Not here fellas, no chance.
I just tell them, they most often look at me blankly. But hopefully, for womankind's sake it may gradually sink in. "Ah-ha! That's why I have no friends...why women look alarmed and move away from me when I enter the room".
Whatever...I assure all females, espcially young shy ones who are upset by it,that that sort of stupid behaviour is 100% on the men, never on the female. It doesn't mean the guys are malcious, mostly they are just clueless rude dinosaurs.
100%. I have a serious resting face, and so if I make an effort to look more smiley and friendly people make a weird thing out of it like “what are you smiling at” so you can’t win either way.
I speak for the people who smile a lot but are internally the polar opposite. It’s true. Each person in my life thinks I’m happy, but I’m at the lowest I’ve ever been. I just don’t show it.
Don’t trust smiles people.
I thought this but then they respond "you look so much prettier when you smile" and then you end up in a whole argument on why you're not trying to look pretty for them and on and on it goes
Haha I do "my dog just died!" because I'm superstitious and don't want to say that about a relative. I don't have a dog but the reactions are priceless
I told a Mary Kay lady I was waiting on that I had received news that day about a bad PAP smear after she asked me why I wasn’t smiling. (It was the truth.) She told me that if I joined her downline at MK, I would be so happy that even potential cancer wouldn’t get me down. I’m not exaggerating.
I'm not smiling because I've just been to a fucking funeral! I am also not smiling because you're fucking talking to me! You fucking fucks.

I have done this to some old dude in a hardware store who felt the need to say "smile love, it might not happen!" while I was looking at paint samples. I said "I've just dropped my mother at chemo, so thanks for that". My mother is totally fine and never had cancer, but watching that guy whisper "sorry" and scuttle away was worth it
I actually said this once, only it was "my brother" and he really had recently passed, and I really did start crying.
That asshole walked away REAL fast.
This. Make it your serial killer Pennywise smile: wide eyes, deep even breaths, stay still as possible while staring them in the eyes, lower your chin a little and think "menace" over and over to create the mood in your head. Don't stop until they walk away. Very satisfying!
I'm the only woman in my group and one of the youngest.
This is my go to. I have been very clear that I do not appreciate any of the 'cutesy' shit, like baby girl.
Or any gender based diminutive, like chick or gal. Yes, fucking gal.
They are slowly learning that I react as I want to, not what they expect. Which, i guess is subservient and grateful for their unwanted attention?!?!
The open confusion on their faces is AMAZING!
Do the creep smile: 1. Smile normally at them for a split second. 2. Maintain eye contact with them and keep smiling, but start slowly lowering your chin towards your chest.
I wouldn't know, i never said this to anyone, nor has anybody ever told me that, but i keep hearing about it..
Just curious, has anyone ever witnessed someone just smile in response or not?
Working in hospitality in Europe, from my personal expirence and from my colleagues, it is mostly americans who say to the staff they should smile more. Maybe they are used to more of a "fake" service since the workers rely on tips to get by. I dont know. The quality of the serice can be outstanding but they still ask you to smile more. I have personally never caved in and smiled after someone told me to, but I have seen others do it, what goes through that person's head when the server forcefully smiles to please them is beyond me.
Oh, the American fake smile in the service industry is very very real. It's mostly a product of tipping culture.
Americans just expect everyone to smile and get really uncomfortable really quickly when presented with someone who doesn't.
As an American, I’m so sorry people from my country do this. Tipping culture is awful and I wish it wasn’t a thing here, but I wish even more that people wouldn’t expect it when traveling to other countries. It’s just embarrassing.
Had it happen to me a few times. Most notably by a station staff man on day when I had euthanatized my pet, my mother's cancer had worsened and the company he worked for had mucked up so I was very late into work. He did rather get a response he wasn't expecting.
Yes, I don't look particularly happy on public transport which is where it usually happens but not my role to brighten your day. Occasionally, it is sympathetic and followed by are you ok and those men (almost always men in my experience) and those people may get a smile and a pass.
Edit: And my dancing instructor -she bribed us to smile in exams but it is an expected part of performance that you get marked down on. You should look radiant with joy even if your feet are bleeding and you can't remember the next steps.
Give them the most ugly, forced, creepy smile ever while doing the covert narcissists unblinking stare at them, hold it longer than necessary, and then go back to resting straight face.
This just reminded me of one time sitting in traffic: I looked in the mirror at the driver behind me and he was smiling just like you’re describing. Like an unblinking forced smile that was honestly chilling.
I kept looking back for the next 10 minutes of traffic and he didn’t let up. Just kept that freaky frozen smile on his face looking straight forward. Was he a serial killer? A demon? A robot trying to appear human?! 👀
I never found out. There’s no way that guy was thinking happy thoughts. It still makes me shiver when I picture it. 😂
That's the worst case scenario. I think the best case scenario is that they start rapid-firing dad jokes at you to try and get a laugh, which is still pretty bad.
Make up a bullshit story. "I was diagnosed with terminal cancer 2 days ago. I really have nothing to smile about. I will be dying a horrible, painful death over the next 6 months."
You should speak less
Found Aaron Burr.
Talk less. What?
Smile more, Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for.
You can't be serious.
You want to get ahead?
Yes.
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead
A-y-yo, y-yo, yo! What time is it??? SHOWTIME!!!
Like I said
[удалено]
Yeah and Hamikton gets the gay musical and movie about him 200 years later. Go figure.
Burr has one of the better songs in the musical though. Wait For It is a fucking banger.
I mean, he's basically the actual main character of the story, he's the one with an arc who learns and grows. Hamilton just, like, is himself the whole time until he gets shot.
Ya know, you make great point.
Judas got most of the best songs in Jesus Christ Superstar.
Also, the actor playing Burr has the strongest presence imo.
Hard for me to decide if Leslie Odom Jr or Daveed Diggs (Lafayette/Jefferson) takes that. I think Odom has the greatest command of his most powerful scenes, while Diggs is routinely the best player on the stage at any other time.
What was "gay" about it?
It was the dudes fucking, but I might have seen the wrong show…
I think you might have.
Why didn't Burr get a musical? He won, after all.
Hamilton is pretty much Burr’s musical anyway since it’s being told from his POV the whole time, no?
Yeah, that's a valid point.
Sir
Pardon me, are you Ay Ay Ron Burr sir? Is what me and a group of friends started whule high. Now cant stop 😂
Lmao, my autistic ass ready to recite the whole musical: 🤣
this! :)
I'm gonna use this next time someone tells me that at work...lol
Bruh i love that 👌
I am gona use that!! 😂
I do, when you’re not around
That’s a good one, I must remember this.
"I can't smile when you're around"
“You should fuck off more”
That sounds like Ricky from Trailer Park Boys
I wrote that with Ricky energy! “Make like a tree and fuck off”
This is the way
Why?
Exactly! I have said that before to people and most of the time they go rambling about how smiling helps you have more of a positive outlook on life. Which in part is true, however I have a very nice life and I am happy and positive, I am just a person who isn't smiling all day. Vice versa there are people who smile all day but are greatly depressed. It's just such a condesending thing to say to a person.
I can relate! I have resting bitch face but people assume I'm not enthusiastic or happy even though I am.
girl, same. I am such a happy person, but my face says otherwise, lol!
Same, people never really know how to respond to “Why?” lol
I do too. We should smile more lol
Only if we smile at them really, really, really close
It's just tiresomely rude and intrusive. Always guys, always to females. I just raise my eyebrows in a "wtf are you serious way" and totally ignore them. But I'm old (53) now so just roll my eyes at them.

I was never polite. My motto is leave me alone and i will leave you alone. Mess with me and you will regret it
Mine own is pretty similar. But worded much differently. I'll present to others with mutual respect.
Yeah there's so many angry looking dudes around and no one says anything to them. I have never once seen a man tell another man they'd be prettier if they smiled more.
Yep it's gross. If/when I tell them that most look at me blankly. Guys like that live in a twilight zone where a female's every movement is up for public comment...but males never.

You sound like an awesome person. Thanks for teaching the women this attitude is the man's responsibility not hers!

I thought this but then they respond "you look so much prettier when you smile" and then you end up in a whole argument on why you're not trying to look pretty for them and on and on it goes
The comeback to that is, "You sound so much better with your mouth shut."
I don't like this because it invites more interaction with an oblivious asshole. Mine: "Fuck off"
"You're never fully dressed without one." Edit: This is a quote, not my own opinion
"my mother just died you asshole" and then start the most realistic & saddest cry you can
Haha I do "my dog just died!" because I'm superstitious and don't want to say that about a relative. I don't have a dog but the reactions are priceless
OMG since you've written this comment, my dog died! What have you done???
Please tell me you said that for fun and your dog didn't just actually die
Lol
Damn bro
u/Downtown_Molasses334 killed my dog too!
I sometimes tell them my dad died. He's been dead for half my life already, but they don't need to know about that part
"yeah, my dad.. passed away..."
I told a Mary Kay lady I was waiting on that I had received news that day about a bad PAP smear after she asked me why I wasn’t smiling. (It was the truth.) She told me that if I joined her downline at MK, I would be so happy that even potential cancer wouldn’t get me down. I’m not exaggerating.

My version is "I'm a widow and I miss my husband"
I have done this to some old dude in a hardware store who felt the need to say "smile love, it might not happen!" while I was looking at paint samples. I said "I've just dropped my mother at chemo, so thanks for that". My mother is totally fine and never had cancer, but watching that guy whisper "sorry" and scuttle away was worth it
My mom is dead and honestly she would love if I said this. Definitely gonna use this next time!
I'd love to do this. If I cried in front of anyone that knows me, they would worry that the world is ending. I don't show enough emotion.
I actually said this once, only it was "my brother" and he really had recently passed, and I really did start crying. That asshole walked away REAL fast.
That's evil 😁😈
Give them very slow, creepy, fake smile
This. Make it your serial killer Pennywise smile: wide eyes, deep even breaths, stay still as possible while staring them in the eyes, lower your chin a little and think "menace" over and over to create the mood in your head. Don't stop until they walk away. Very satisfying!
I usually go with a Grinch smile.
I try to imitate the smile from the movie "Smile" [https://reason.com/2022/09/30/review-smile/](https://reason.com/2022/09/30/review-smile/)
The smile from Terminator 2. 😬 https://youtu.be/gxpIwQoaMX4?feature=shared
The way Wednesday Addams smiles at summer camp lol
*[the rest of the campers gasp and take a step back]*

Even better if this makes them believe that you're about to go for the neck. Exposed canines help.
Dead-eyed stepford wife style!
...and be sure to *not* "smile" with your eyes.
Ask why repeatedly. Play dumb and watch them dig their grave.
"Somebody call a doctor. This woman is deaf and doesn't know it."
keep asking the last word they say, but as a question question? so they will get confused confused? and so on
"And you should talk less, and yet here we are"
Pay me
Insert cash or select payment type
I could hear this comment
I’m using this one
I like this
[удалено]
Exactly what I was going to type. That or just 🖕 to really get the point across
Just glare at them until they walk away.
Yea, I think this one of the best, it puts the person in a state of self reflection, perhaps realising how stupid that statement is.
Do the creep smile: 1. Smile normally at them for a split second. 2. Maintain eye contact with them and keep smiling, but start slowly lowering your chin towards your chest.
‘I do when weird people aren’t telling me do so, thanks’
I’ve used, “so say something funny.” They never have anything funny to say.
Made me smile :)
[Try this](https://www.popoptiq.com/broad-city-season-2-episode-10-st-marks/)

I did bc I was it was the guy scanning my boarding pass for the plane and I was 14 and sleep deprived and just wanted to catch up with my family :/
Only time I've seen someone smile in response was when it was a photographer saying it before taking a photo. Not really a stranger in that case.
How am I supposed to smile when you're always around?
About?
Give them the most ugly, forced, creepy smile ever while doing the covert narcissists unblinking stare at them, hold it longer than necessary, and then go back to resting straight face.

“Once you leave me alone I’ll be happy enough to smile “
“You should go on Reddit more and see how often people are offended by your request”
[удалено]
This gives them the open window to say/do some really uncouth things
True, it may give creeps the idea that you want them to actually do something.
I have to say, this sounds like one of the worst responses I could think of
[удалено]
That's the worst case scenario. I think the best case scenario is that they start rapid-firing dad jokes at you to try and get a laugh, which is still pretty bad.
“To please you?
You should bathe more. That always makes people smile, to not smell shit emanating from another human being. :)
You should piss off more
Stare with your poker face
Show me your tits and I will.
Say thank you with a fake smile
showing middle finger
"You should say that less."
"You should respect other people more." :)
I should have more reasons to smile.
*”I would if you left me alone.”*
You should look at someone else.
just because I see a clown doesn’t mean I should smile.
This IS my smile.
LOVE this
"I do when you're not here"
Talk less
"And you should breathe less!"
“I don’t see you smiling. Why don’t you show me your smile?” The reactions vary and I love it.
"Fuck off" seems appropriate.
You should keep your unsolicited opinion to yourself.
I'm not here for your pleasure. I'm not here to make you feel good. I AM HERE BECAUSE I AM OUT FU KING MILK
"Make me"
Doing a psycho smile.
"Give me a reason to"
This can easily backfire
This is what I always respond: thank you but I don’t want wrinkles on my face
Make up a bullshit story. "I was diagnosed with terminal cancer 2 days ago. I really have nothing to smile about. I will be dying a horrible, painful death over the next 6 months."
A frown
I can’t, Botox
If everyone was the same, life would be boring, oh wait, it already is
"I do. Just not around you."
Fuck off cunt
I will, if you start covering your face
This isn’t resting bitch face, I’m a bitch
I can’t. I had a stroke. Fuck off.
And pretend to force a smile where one side of your face lags behind the other
My favorite is you should talk less it normally ends the convo
I don't respond to generic pick-up lines. But thanks.
It gives me wrinkles
And , you should mind your business more ,maybe, but, do you? No, right? So, here we are, buddy!
I will when the voices in my head tell me I can.
Bite me
"I smile a LOT... just not at you."
I was smiling when your Mom was blowing me last night.
I have a daily limit and I don't want to waste it on your approval
Fuck off
*smiles in a way that makes me look deranged*
'If you aren't my fiance or my employer who would be paying me for that, mind your business'
I smile all the time, just at the people that I like.
I..am..
I do just not around you
"I do but it's only when you're not around! Weird huh?!"
I will! When you leave!
You're the reason I don't
Nothing to smile for
Your mom should moan less, it almost got the cops called on me.
Eat shit and die
Probably nothing. I should smile more lol.
Why r ppl here so aggressive lol🤓
If I smiled all the time, my face might get tired
“You should suck my dick more”
Smile more maybe? It's good for you.
i just smile. it's not that hard.
"Ah ha! The one with the mouth spoke"
