Saturday, November 20, 2004 Pow!
A homeless guy body-checked me when I was walking to work this morning. We crossed paths closer than he would have liked, and so he walked a step or two past me, then came back and slammed into me on purpose. "GET out of my damn way and STAY out of my damn way," he yelled. He wasn't trying to slickly brush against me and take my wallet. He was just hostile as DAMN. I couldn't think of one single counter point, so I just kept walking.
A block or so later, a guy in a pickup truck pulled up beside me and asked what that (racial slur)'s problem was. I guess he'd been stopped at the light and seen the whole thing. I couldn't think of anything to say to him, either. I just gave him the cow face. You should see it. It's the expression my face forms when I'm not making an effort to close my mouth or focus my eyes. It also comes up if I have a cud to chew.
In hindsight, I probably should have pepper sprayed both of them.
I probably should sniff enough glue so I don't have to think very much about this kind of thing. posted by Frenz | 11/20/2004 01:24:00 AM
