Walk in Straight line?

So I was walking down a large street, with an equally large sidewalk and was drifting off into my thoughts about what to eat for lunch, thinking about my paper, etc... and occasionally I can walk a bit to the left, a bit to the right....Today, I accidently waled a bit to the right and touched (and I really mean barely touched) this girl's jacket. I apologized immediately knowing that I was off in Rebecca lala land. She didn't even look at me for one second and screams out "WALK IN A STRAIGHT LINE" so this of course made me a but frustrated and I responded rigt away with a sweet "Have a great day, and oh yeha, Merry Christmas" She never even looked back.
This whole episode left me feeling funny inside....what the heck has our world come to? How hard is it to take off your damn earphones to listen to someone, for once or even HELP then trough the snow, on/off the sidewalk. It really makes me angry to I live in the city with people all around me and no one gives a crap about anything that's going on around them...is it really SO hard...AH!

I Hate Garages


So I just got back from Monsieur Muffler who completely replaced the pieces of my muffler, for a whopping $500. I feel completely jipped. I hate going to the garage 'cause as soon as they see me walk in, I swear they can sense that it'll be easy to screw me over. I used to always take my car to an excellent mechanic, who made sure not even his brother touched my car. Once his brother did and 30 minutes of driving later, I noticed a huge bubble in one of my tires, after that, he was the only one who worked on it. He worked at a family business that he owned with his cousin. They sold it and he went to work at Canadian Tire, I think, where there was less responsability (so he could spend more time with his family) and most likely better pay. No I'm left out in the cold with a piece of shit car and mechanics know I'm easy money....

To top it off, I had my winter tires put on yesterday where I waited for 4 hours. At least I got a lot of work done but man....was it long. While I sat in the waiting room, there was this old lady , also waiting for her car, reading a book. It looked almostos though she was trying to hide what she was reading. Obviously I had to find out.... SO after walking around and looking at everything, I saw the title "The fat women next door is pregnant" What the hell? People actually read this stuff? I felt so much like laughing, I pretended to blow my nose for about 5 minutes!

Screaming

Story 1:

So, another day waiting for the bus. I hear someone screaming at the top of their lungs. God forbid anyone should look and see what's going on... This women got out of her car in the middle of a busy intersection and started screaming "J'ai perdu mon gars, il a un manteau rouge, j'ai perdu mon gars" so, remembering all the first aid training I've taken, and being curious of course, I walk over to her and begin asking her questions about her son. "Where did you last see him?" and "What's his name?" She then gets a glimpse of him, leaving her car in place, on, and with the door wide open asks me to watch her car. She runs to a dangling phone in a phone booth and finishes a quick conversation. Walks into the grocery store. I'm standing there beginning to think she's got me watching her car while she parks illegally. After 5 minutes, I start thinking I'm on some comedy gag on TV. But then I see her marching back towards the car with a kid dragging behind her, kid looked about 10. She says "Thank you so much, my son has (?- she said some type of disease), I tied him up but he untied himself and ran away". The kid did have a harness around his chest. And looked lost. She tied him inside the car and locked him in while she went and made a long call in the phone booth (10mins+, time I waited for bus). I was left so uneasy with this situation, and even now, when I think back, I don't know what I could have done.



Story 2:

So I waited 40 minutes for the bus on my way home simply because the other people were still waiting wy should I leave? Mainly because I'm stubborn.
I wasn't in a rush for once and I have to admit I love watching people get angry for stupid reasons! This older man behind me kept bobbing around to see if the bus was coming making loud gasping sounds, as if tey would make the bus come faster...Hahah
Another old guy was so angry he was still shking his head when we got on the bus and it was still shaking when I got off....I don't think it was only due to a nerous tick...Hahaha

Also, I love watching people try and pretend no one saw them slip...Haha

All for now, I'm sure there will be more tomorrow.

Moth Balls


Since the weather has been getting colder, I've been chickening out on biking to school. So I've decided to take the bus to school. But I don't take the but very often...and am very affected by odours.
Sure enough, this week I got on the bus and I could smell them from a mile away....where could it be coming from? So of course, as I do everyday, I check out everyone on the bus and begin narrowing down the source.

On a side note, it is important to mention why I dislike moth balls so much....ever since I was little we used to store them in the tractors, my uncle's boat, to keep the bugs out. Also, this was THE odour of my great-grandmother's CREEPY house. And when i was about 10, my dad left on a business trip for a several days and placed the moth balls in the fridge instead of the milk....not only did he have funny looking milk but EVERYTHING in the fridge and freezer taste like moth balls...and since he didn't completely empty it out...well, you can imagine the rest on your own.

Ok, so looking around the bus, I found the source, an older man wearing a fur jacket with a funny fur hat.....I was far away but was dearly hoping his stop was coming up. I then started to imagine where he could possibly be going. Of course, he got off at the stop before mine and I was able to have about 2 breaths of not so fresh but moth ball free air....

Purpose

So after popular demand, of course, I've decided to keep a log of my funny stories. The underlying reason is that I like making you guys laugh!

Hopefully, these will put a smile on your faces on any regular day!

Enjoy....hahahhahaha
