questions...

that I have for random people that I see throughout my day...

to the guy in dean and deluca... if you come in the coffee shop every single day and order the exact same thing why do you hold up the line and the rotation by staring at the menu and scratching your head? everyone that comes in there knows you order a medium chai latte and a apple tart every day... why don't YOU know that by now?

to the homeless guy on m street... everyday you ask me for some change and then say if you don't have change can I at least get your autograph and you laugh and I smile and keep walking. what if one day I actually stop and give you my autograph then what are you going to do with it?

to the other homeless guy on m & wisconsin... the other day your little chant was "spare some change so I can get some soup because it's cold outside." so why when the lady got you soup last week you copped an attitude and told her no thanks you arent a chicken noodle fan? umm excuse me sir she was trying to hook you up and help you out.

to the security guard in my office building... what exactly is your purpose? half the time you aren't at the desk, the other portion you are on the phone, you never sign in visitors unless they approach you and a lot of times you are sleep (putting on sunglasses doesn't hide that your eyes are closed). also one other question why do you have a jherri curl ponytail in 2005?

to the girl that sits across from me... I know fitness and health are important to you but could I go a day without hearing about hot yoga, the washington sports club, pilates and running? please don't get mad because the lady in the office doesn't want to join the gym with you I mean give her a break she's 6 months pregnant and please don't spend another hour discussing how hot yoga pulls out toxins and the yoga studio smells like feet after the class. I don't wanna hear it.

to the man that tries to talk to me in traffic daily... don't you realize people like you are why we have traffic? sure I'm flattered that you think I'm pretty, even surprised you noticed I changed my hair (but that's all you see everyday since i'm in a car), but the madness needs to stop. i'm going need for you to not ask if you can call me at work sometimes or meet me for lunch? all you've seen is from my neck up! for all you know i could be like 450 pounds with a right arm and a left leg. so just wave and keep on moving.

to the couple on the train that gets on at eastern market... do you guys not live together? because if you do there is no need for you guys to wrap yalls selves around that pole everyday holding hands and kissing and tickling each other from eastern market to metro center. are you newlyweds? did he get some viagra? what's really going on? maybe i'm just having a hard time because yall are like 50... who knows.

to the guy that insists on talking to me on the train... does it look like i'm in a conversational mood? i mean i'll speak and smile and say good morning but if i have on my ipod and am reading a paper/ book/ magazine it's no reason for you to tap me and hold some b.s. convo. i'm sure you are really nice but at like 7:30 in the morning i don't want to talk about csi with a stranger.

to the guy on the georgetown commuter bus... why do you smell like that so early in the morning? i mean at 8:15 why do you smell like a little kid that's been playing in grass all day?

okay that's all for now I could keep going on and on lol
