Just felt like sharing another transit adventure . . .
Got off the subway yesterday afternoon, and as I was on the escalator, a man stopped behind me, looked at me with a smile and said - with heavy eastern european accent - "You are strong like african water buffalo."
To which I said "hunh?" (very smooth, Jen)
then he goes on to resay "You are strong like African Water Buffalo, a great creature", then he goes on to describe the habits of the buffalo (like going into a circle to protect the babies etc.). He closes up with "And they have the brain the size of a pea."
Okay . . . now the question is . . . is this guy really bad at compliments, or is he a complete asshole?
