imagine my horror:
sitting...no, standing...on an overcrowded bus. 3 bags draped over my shoulder, one filled with heavy school books. a post menopausal woman is sitting 11 inches away from me as she talks loudly on her cell phone.
"I WANTED TO KILL MYSELF TODAY, I ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION AT THE SEMINAR. ABOUT HOW MUCH THE MONTHLY RATE IS, AND NOBODY KNEW THE ANSWER. NOBODY KNEW THE GOD DAMN ANSWER. WHAT'S THAT? YOU HAVE TO GO? OKAY, I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER."
*click*
so she proceeds to dial a number.
"HOLY HELL, YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY. I WANTED TO DIE. I ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION AT THE SEMINAR, AND NOBODY KNEW THE STUPID ANSWER! NOBODY KNEW IT!"
...hangs up with that poor soul, and again begins to dial yet another unsuspecting victim.
"OH MY LORDY. YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY..."
in 23 minutes i was able to recap this woman's entire day, thanks to repetition.
