Don't you have those days when you get through with work (or whatever you have going on), you sit in traffic, your freaking tired, and all you want to do is just zone out and have everybody leave you alone?
By the way, this isn't a sappy post.
I was hanging out at the cool hangout (the McD's in Wal-Mart), hoping to play the tired-angry-looking-dude-in-the-back-corner role. Not because I was angry, but because I was tired and no one seeks out tired, angry looking dudes to have conversation with.
So, I order my fry and drink and sit down in the very back corner of the restaurant and began looking tired, angry, and unapproachable.
You know those people that don't have anything to do in life except seek out tired and angry, unapproachable people? You know them. We've all had our tired, angry moments and been approached by them.
"HEY, DO YOU PLAY THE MONOPOLY GAME!?!"
I knew where this was going, this dude was about to ask me for my Monopoly stickers off my cup.
But I play Monopoly, and I didn't want to open up the channel of conversation with him.
"Yes", I told him in a, get-away-from-me-fruitcake, sort of way.
"ME, TOO! I JUST WON A FREE MEDIOM FRY!"
Plan: B - quick answer and then turn away...
"Great".
"I'M GONNA WIN THAT MONEY THOUGH!"
"ARE YOU ABOUT 6'3"?"
"I KNOW YOU ARE BECAUSE MY BROTHER IS 6'2" AND HE'S AN INCH SHORTER THAN YOU!"
"DO YOU PLAY FOOTBALL? THEY'D PRO'LY PUT YOU AT QUARTER BACK BECAUSE YOU'RE TALL. I USED TO PLAY FOOTBALL! QUARTER BACK IS THE GUY THAT TAKES THE POUNDING. ALL THE 7 FOOT, 300 POUND GUYS RUNNIN' AT YOU..."
Okay...time to go.
So I'm think, go to the car, get on the lap top and park in the back. So I'm walking out to the car about to get in when...
"AH, TOYOTA CAMRY. THAT'S WHAT I'M DRIVING! GREAT CARS!!!"
Do I have a sign on my back?
"SORRY ABOUT APPROUCHING YOU LIKE THIS..."
(At least this one apologizes)
"...ME AND MY WIFE ARE FROM SAN ANTONIO AND MY BROTHER-IN-LAW TOOK MY WALLET AND ALL MY CREDIT CARDS AND WE'RE OUT OF GAS AND I BROKE MY LEG DURRING THE HURRICANE..."
