Writer's Block: Listening In
Jan. 24th, 2009 12:30 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]Taking public transportation provides some very interesting listening.
But I think one of my favorites was when these (then) seniors somehow got into a discussion about stalkers and one of them said "Well, if someone was stalking me I'd take it as a compliment that they would take time out of their day to do that," or something along those lines. Yeah that was an interesting bus ride.
EDIT (1/31/09): Okay, got a bus one to trump that. This guy sat down behind me who was very definitely a drug dealer. He was talking about how some place (presumably his house?) got raided and 'they' found half a 'brick' and he was on the bus because the cars were still there. And he kept calling to arrange meetings or call back later.
And he smelled.
So I was sitting there going okaaaay... I'm glad I'm getting off soon. But seriously dude. Be more discrete.
