Friday 13th (dum dum dum)

Well some annoying things happened to me today. Whilst on the train, passing the smelly pine river there was a bloke who was standing next to me in the same carriage. He was grabbing the bar above his by both hands and holding on. As the train was travelling along the track, I started to feel a slight notion of some unwanted weight on the left hand side. At first, I just cast it aside as nothing, then it started to nag at me like a pain in the ass. Then as I looked to my left this bloke was bloody swaying back and forth whilst standing up and holding onto the bar. He was pissing me off and felt that it was ok for him to nod off whilst standing up right and swaying onto me. Fucker!

Then as I was making my way to meet my students down Berríni, I was busy speed walking, manouvering in and out of people like a clever dodger with nifty feet. Like Pegasus wings on my feet, if you get the drift. Then to my aghast there was a coach pulled up outside of a hotel, situated right next to the building that I have to teach. Lined up outside the coach were these bloody hotel guests who felt that in their mind it was ok to take up ALL the space and hog the whole side of the pavement. They just plopped their suitcases and what not’s onto the pavement, blocking the way for other passersby. I said spoke aloud when I said ‘’Oh for fuck sake, you’ve got to be kidding me!’’ , then a couple of the guests looked at me in dismay and then they cleared the path, like Moses clearing a path of the Red Sea. Yeah power in my hands bitches!

Then on the journey home to the republica down Butantã. I was at the Pine metro station, on the platform waiting for the train when some guy was full out in public crying.  He was rubbing his eyes, wiping his tears from his eyes, red puffy faced etc. I thought to myself ‘what a bloody attention seeker, grow some balls and man up’. Perhaps the man wanted pity or for other passersby to feel sorry for him. Well no Siree! Not this bloody girl!

So the journey finally continues, with me walking past the bakery along the main road. As I come up to the bakery I noticed a guy who looked like he was watering the bushes with a bottle of water. But as I neared, imagine to my horror when it wasn’t water he was dousing the bushes in. Yes, he brung his own hose to give the bushes a golden shower. Have these people no shame!
