Bad Boys VS Geeks

Ok here’s the thing… the title at the top? Strangely, it’s all true….

Weird right?

So anyways… it happened on my birthday. I woke up, answered a few phonecalls, got ready to go out and then walked to my bus stop. So then when I got there… I realised that I’d just missed the last bus by about 2 minutes. So, yeah I was pretty pissed because on Saturdays the buses don’t run every 10 minutes…. they’re more ‘relaxed’ and so it’s once every 30 minutes.

Then I decided to sit and wait… no point me walking up and down anyways. So there’s this old lady sitting on another bench, and so I presumed that she was waiting for the bus too… since only one bus ever stops at this stop.

See I made plans to meet my friend at noon and the bus would only come at 12.15 so i called up to let her know that I’d be late. So I had this long conversation on the phone and when i hung up I basically settled back into the bench to wait.

Then the old lady suddenly talks to me… which isn’t really weird because here everyone talks to everyone else. She asks me if I’m waiting for the bus. i say yes. She asks me if i’m going shopping in the city. i say yes. At this point I clearly know she’s been eavesdropping on my phonecall. Then she says “r u a student?” to which I once again reply in the affirmative.

THEN she tells me to study hard… make my parents proud and stuff like that… So i’m like yeah… ok…

She then shakes my hand say it’s really nice to meet me. Tells me she missed the last bus too. And then get this…. she says she going to get something to eat.. AND she asks me to help her out with 5 dollars!!!!!!!!

What the hell? I was pretty shocked… I mean she was actually asking me for money! So I said I didn’t carry any money… and then she said “Okay dear… sorry to trouble you” and then walked off…. down the road to a place where there were clearly to eating places.

It seems that the bus is always involved in every weird encounter I have. Ask Fishy bout the Desperate Dude…

Cheers!
