Ugh.
I have to run the store this week, open to close, since bossman has been called to a huge manager's conference. Result of this is I have to take an earlier bus than usual, to get to work. Good news, it's usually emptier than the one I generally take. Bad news, it's got so many more...colorful characters...
Case and point this morning:
I get on the bus, and an older man is sitting in one seat, legs splayed across the one next to it, back to the aisle. He's also thrown his arm over the seat backs, so he's essentially taking up 4 different seats in two rows.
I sit in the seats opposite him, and he looks up and smiles in greeting at me while picking his nose.
Um, ok. Ew. That's kind of gross, but whatever. I scoot to the wall, put in my earbuds, cue up the mp3 player and pull out my book. Ignore mode ON.
Oh, hell, didn't charge the mp3 player, no music for me! Oh well, I've got the noise of the bus engine, bus A/C and the standard road noises (going over bumps, etc), to help me tune out my surroundings for the most part.
That is, until I catch movement out of the corner of my eye. Old man has resumed facing the wall, but now he lifts ever so slightly...
and lets rip two loud, juicy NASTY bouts of buttgas that I managed to hear over ALL the aforementioned noises. Right in my direction.
Oh gods ew. Ew. EWWW!! THE SMELL!! THE STENCH!! It CLINGS!
I'm quietly gagging, and manage to put some hand lotion on, and cup my hand over my face and get some relief. That's just nasty. I know it's a bodily function, but did you have to AIM!??!?!
I'm complaining about this via messages to my boyfriend and in the process, he lifts and rips AGAIN. Once again, RIGHT in my direction. Seriously, dude, what the hell is your damage!?!?
I get up and change seats, but i swear, I can still smell it right now, and augh. It reeks. My eyes water. My nosehairs singe. My poor brain runs around shrieking like a banshee as it categorically REFUSES to process this assault on my olfactory sense.
So, that's how my morning has started, how's everyone else doing so far...?
