on my way home today i was going to the bus stop that i usually go to.
there's a hobo digging for stuff (most likely bottles) in a trash can right next to the bus stop, and of course he asks me for 5 bucks when he notices me. i tell him that i don't carry cash with me (i actually don't) and walk off.
he proceeds to follow me to the bus stop and starts commenting on my oilers hat. keep in mind that this guy literally sounds like a distorted tom waits (### already sounds like his vocals are horribly mutilated) and i can barely understand what he's saying. at this point i'm basically staring him down in a way that's basically just saying "#### off or i'll deck you" but he then starts going on and on about chess, and how war is basically chess with real people.
my bus arrives and i get on it. for about 5 seconds i thought i was free until he gets on the bus himself and continues talking about random things that you'd probably expect a hobo who's obviously high on something to talk about. the bus is fairly crowded and the people around me are basically just listening to him incoherently mumble about something while i'm still giving him the "#### off or i'll deck you" stare, not saying anything back to him.
he gets off eventually and i have about 10 people asking me what the #### just happened and if i knew the guy. |
