I know I've said it before, but I am a total freak magnet. "These are the people in my neighborhood" or people I've seen or dealt with today all before 1pm in order....
*I walk into a bathroom at a state building that we go to for my job & there is a lady picking at her zits. I know that a majority of us do this, myself included sometimes, but please people, this is a private "activity" that shouldn't be shared with anyone. Does she stop, no. She keeps on picking.
*On my way out of the restroom, a lady walks in who is wearing flip flops. Not a big deal until I notice an annoying sound... Her dragging her feet instead of walking like a normal person. How anyone can think that walking in such a way as to not lift their feet up as they take a step is beyond me. The thing is that she wasn't even an old lady or anything. I wanted to take her flip flops off & slap her in the face with them.
*At my job, we have to go to the state to copy files. This takes hours at the copy machine, but when people come in, I step aside & let them use it. I wear my ipod so I don't have to interact with people, yet people still like to talk to me. There was a lady who liked to come in & get in my personal space & touch me until she had me backed against the machine, but today I got to meet a real gem of a lady. She comes in with a paper she needed to copy. I told her that I would be done in one second & she could step in & use it. I had just loaded the copier with paper & it was in the middle of it's cycle so I couldn't stop it. She says that she will use the other machine & I tell her that someone else is using that machine & she freaks out. "Do you work here?" "no" I tell her & she tells me that we can't keep both machines occupied at the same time. I calmly tell her that my copies will be done in literally 20 seconds & that she can use it. snatch. I wanted to punch her in the face & then copy it.
*Last but not least, on our way back to our office, I saw a man wearing sunglasses riding a unicycle while talking on a cell phone.... I tried to get a picture with my phone, but I missed him by a second & I ended up taking a picture of a pole.
Drummer girl told me "Nice!! Today on K street in front of my building there was a stanky homeless guy ranting about Abe Lincoln's assassination." I think her's wins... But it is a close one.
