Monday, December 7

some things I didn't do today at the bus stop

1. offer to tell two blind people what busses were pulling up
2. leap out of the way of a man in a wheelchair when he wanted to shove his way past me
3. listen to a hustler's speech about how i could save 50 cents if i bought bus tickets from him
4. tell the blind man that water was dripping on his dog
5. tell the blind couple that they were in the wheelchair man's way
6. acknowledge the (late) bus driver
7. care

Sometimes I am cold as ice.

But I did laugh when the bus driver yelled at an old man for not covering his mouth when he coughed. That made my day.

I'm sensing that I'm not the only one that needs to get out more. Sigh.

I love hustlers. Especially cheap hustlers.

She's c-cold as ice.

Sometimes I feel like I always have to be 'on' and polite and funny. It's tiring. I should have more experiences where I just don't do it.

You could have saved FITTY CENTS?!

Sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays. (I'm only saying this to you because you're too far away to slap me.)

@owo hahahaha no, really. my life is interesting, i swear. I also spent two hours at work shredding paper!

@erin I know, I usually feel that way too, like I have to be the cheery one because everyone else is so blah, but yesterday I just couldn't pull it together. And I was shocked at my own behavior. Especially the dog thing.

@prosy well I have a bus pass so no, but I didn't even look at him while he stood there giving me his spiel

@jbot haha I WANT LASAGNA!

Helping the handicapped is the obvious thing to do. I like how you think outside the box.

today i watched an old woman sit in an intersection with her car unknowingly in reverse waiting to make a left hand turn. i'm pretty sure she backed into on-coming traffic. i laughed when i drove by. i feel better about it all now that i read this.
