You have got to be kidding me....
I know I don't really post much, but this is definitely discussion worthy:
I shall preface my tale with an introduction to my most favorite spot on campus, my smoking tree. Outside of my office there is a lovely oak tree, by far the prettiest on campus. Under said tree is a little brick bench where I like to take my smoke breaks. I have come to adore this spot as I have spent the last 8 months relaxing away my daily stresses. There's even a plaque in the ground next to it, dedicating it to a young man who died at 18 and his family and another went in together to have it endowed.
Not to frequently, the tree and I have visitors Earlier in the semester a really nice young guy was sitting out there, and we had a pleasant conversation on my break.
Today, my world was shattered. I step outside and there is some dude lounging on my bench. He's laid back with his legs propped up right on the spot where I like to park my rear. Well, I decided perhaps he would be a gentleman and share my spot. I walk up to our sunglassed new friend and realize he is on the phone. I stand over him to politely wait for acknowledgment before I say "hello." Nothing. Not a word or a motion. He just keeps talking and lightly adjusts his sunglasses.
I decide to not be bothered and sit at the end of the bench right near his hideous feet. He never moves, not an inch. At what's worse is that he's having the stupidest conversation I have ever heard. I smoked my entire cigarette and got up with out so much as an apology from this bastard. I had hoped that when I left, if he honestly not noticed me he at least would have then. But no, he just kept right on talking to his stupid friend.
What I can't figure out is if he was just ignoring me hardcore, or if he was really oblivious enough to not know I was there. Either way, he is definitely not the first person on my list for potential bench buddies. I hope he trips and breaks his face.
But then I don't know, maybe most people would be frightened by a pierced, tattooed gal with a shaved head. But I think I'm at least interesting looking enough for you to share your seat with.
