andrea maille: Subways

andreamaille:

I was on the subway heading somewhere. I always find the subway a strange place. This man walks onto the subway at Yorkdale station. He is dirty and old. He is carrying a plastic bag and talking to himself. The subway is packed and he sits next to me. I have my headphones in. He asks me what…

Think how many people have sat next to you on a bus, train, whatever. Now think how many people have sat next to you on purpose, with their fingers crossed in hope that you’ll talk to them. I’m sure somebody has. There’s plenty of times when somebody’s seen you and hoped that you spoke to them, but you never did, ‘cause you don’t have the guts, and neither do they. Don’t go around thinking nobody likes you and that you’re not loved, there’s been plenty of times when a stranger’s spotted you and thought “oh they’re just my type,” but haven’t had the courage or confidence to open their mouth and initiate a conversation, the funny thing is, neither have you.

Pet Peeve # 1

Whenever someone says “Who doesn’t (do it)?” after their offer was refused.

One thing I hate
I hate it when people cut me off mid-sentence, make something up, and then attempt to take credit of the situation.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about (obviously, this is the condensed version for many reasons):
Me: I had my first energy drink when... -
Her: Yeah! You had your first one with us at that one time in the spring!
Me: Actually, I had it when... -
Her: Remember?! During that school event!
Me: I actually had one with my friends in (another city)... during the summer...
Her: Oh.
Me: Yeah...
Awkward much, yes?!
I seriously wanted to tell her to shut the fuck up. Holy crap. This isn't the first time she did this either.
Edit: Yes, it's something as stupid as a drink, but I thought I should rant anyways. Only because this isn't the first time this has happened.
