Your Friendly Neighbourhood Misanthrope.
Do you like to walk slowly? How about Uggs? Do you wear those?
Individually, I can cope with both.
However, do you walk slowly and wear Uggs? My God, walk slow and hide lest I harm you, because yesterday my 'fury' boiled over. I accidentally made one of your types walk into a bus shed, when I inadvertently brushed past you while boarding a bus. You looked back annoyed, distractedly talking on your cellphone, while proceeding to walk directly into a sheet of plexiglas and slowly bouncing off. To add insult to injury, as you lay on the ground recovering, I peered down from inside the bus and smiled with delight as it left the curb.
Let's review.
You, not waiting for the bus, decide to hold a phone conversation while moving slowly in circles. In front of an open bus door. While wearing Uggs.
Karma doesn't always kick in when we want it to, but you must have been long overdue. There's some kind of bitter justice in the above outcome, that I'm not ashamed to admit I revel in. I may not have intended it to happen, but don't think I won't look back on yesterday with anything but fondness.
