Don't take it personal, it's a condition that afflicts lots of New Englandahs. We tell it like it is, keep people at arm's length, and mind our own business. Some people might see that as unfriendly, and that's fine. That's one less person in your personal space. This tee can serve as an (un)friendly reminder that you're not into the whole small talk/eye contact thing, with a little familiar New England flair.
