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.
