Things Other People Ought Not To Do on the Bus, This Morning's Edition:
Edited to add the "other people" qualifier

--Make a belated decision to get off, and then snarl "Watch it, bitch!" while lunging bodily into passengers who, having seen no one exiting, are attempting to board.

--Hum along tunelessly with whatever is playing on your headphones.

--Pick your nose and then examine the results, at length, meditatively rolling them between your thumb and forefinger. At least not while sitting right in front of me.

In other news, the weather continues abnormally mild and balmy, for which I am grateful. Though I am still coughing like a bastard, I am otherwise mostly returned to health, though not to any kind of energy, mental or physical. I feel very remote from writing, fandom, LJ, the impending holidays, work projects, and ... really pretty much everything. But less so than a week ago, so--onward.

By some miracle I have only one meeting on my calendar for today. (Joy!) Which means that I really have no excuse not to get my office the hell cleaned up. (Woe. Sigh.)

::pets:: There, there. I would have offered to bring soup, but alas, I have also been under the weather. And there's never a good reason to clean one's office, I firmly believe that.

I'm not awake yet, so it took me a moment to realize these were not *your* actions on the bus. although the thought of you snarling "watch it, bitch" at people cheered me up immensely for some reason.

So, when I first read this, I thought these were things YOU did. And I was like, ok. "Watch it, bitch!" - Huh. Well, maybe Kat's in a bad mood. And then the tuneless humming - well, that's all right too.

But then I got to the nose-picking and said, "Uhm. Maybe I should read this again. Maybe I'm reading this wrong..."

*g*

So I see I wasn't alone in fantasizing that it was you ruthlessly shoving boarding passengers out of the way (the nose-picking clued me in, though). Perhaps I felt an affinity for that image of you because I just rode the subway, where I attempted to exit, only to be met with a massive push from boarding passengers. I heard myself saying, then yelling, "Getting out. Getting OUT. GETTING OUT! DAMMIT! OUT! OUT! OUT!" I finally pushed my way through, and a woman behind me muttered, "Rude!" I of course, in my best New York way, turned around and said, "Asshat," before departing.

I, too, thought at first you were talking about yourself! I'm sorry you're still coughing (quit smoking please! kthx your lungs ;-))--I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks so much for the e-card the other day, btw--it was really cute and sweet!

Ah, the joys of public transportation. Today I had:

- Child at the learning-to-read age asking "Mommy, what's that say?" loudly every time we passed a sign. Which was, you know, *often*.

- Woman at back of the bus singing R&B songs under her breath -- but not under her breath *enough*.

- Woman sitting right behind me talking on her cell phone, and leaning forward in her seat so her mouth was about six inches from my ear.

Oy.
