bus ride home
Left my book on my desk… got stuck in sideways seat on new bus (cold) where feet stick out into aisle.
Chick in the seat next to me sat jabbering on the phone. Cute-ish dude gets on bus, pulls out his phone and blocks the aisle while he mumbles on the phone. A skinny guy with a book says, “excuse me” to Cute-ish Phone Dude and Dude doesn’t move. So Skinny Book Guy pushes roughly past Cute-ish Phone Dude and Dude gives him a look like, “excuse you!”
Chick keeps jabbering.
Fashionable Girl tries to get past Cute-ish Phone Dude by politely saying, “excuse me” Dude doesn’t move. She says it again, nothing. And one more time in that, hey-asshole voice we all use. He moves and she gets past. I wonder what it is about Cute-ish Dude that makes Fashionable Girl not want any part of her body to touch his. Is it the fact that he’s rude and wont move or the fact that he’s just another guy on the bus and she doesn’t find him cute-ish like I do?
Hairy Chested Overly Fashionable Man kicks my feet as he pushes past someone. Am I that much of a nothing that he wont even acknowledge that I’m here much less apologize for kicking at me? Other people continue to kick at my feet without apologizing. What is it with me that they wont even look my way? There is nowhere for my feet when sitting in this crappy seat and I am tormented by not having my book as well as having people keep kicking my feet, I’m so happy now…
Chick finishes her useless call and starts another, “can you sew? like on a machine?” she suddenly realizes her stop is coming up and moves VERY SLOWLY to get to the back door. The bus has stopped and continued on by the time she stands. She makes her way to the door and pulls the emergency handle. This whole time she’s still talking on this pointless phone call. (hey…GET OFF THE PHONE!)
The bus continues on….I get home before Everybody Loves Raymond for the first time ever and realize the show is just as boring from the beginning.
Now there is nothing on, and my book is at the office. *sigh*
