the things people do

it is interesting to look around this city and see things, and to watch what people do.  i mean, you walk into a subway car and see chicken bones and rice all over the floor.  your mind begins to wander and you wonder what happened here? was there a fight? did someone just have an accident? did the chicken just taste really bad; so bad it had to be thrown to the floor? who knows.

or you see a woman on the bus eating a fruit salad.  she finishes her food and at the next stop stands up and throws her garbage out the bus door and comes to sit back down.  does she think that is ok? in her mind is the street a really big garbage can? who knows.

or you see people walking their dogs, picking up their dog's poop, and throwing that poop into the garbage can.  then you see a homeless man digging for food in that same garbage.  oh man

or you are sitting on the train and a random man asks you, "do you have allergies?"  you answer, "why?" (because really it is none of his business and you do not know him) "oh I just read that red heads have bad allergies" ... people are so weird.  is that a pick up line? who knows!

you know, strange men always talk to me.  the other day i was walking down the street and a man was pretending to take my picture over and over again with his hands as the "camera" and he was saying "click! click! click". I had to yell "alright enough already jeez!" he says, "what? too many photos?" or they come up from behind me and say "you are pretty" and run away.  are all the men in this city completely void of any social skills? seriously!  thank god I am happily married and do not have to be searching for a date among these crazy men.  what a city!
