Raised in a Barn
It amazes me when I see people do things in public. Maybe I'm just overly sensitive to the things that people do. I'll just mention things I've seen lately and then you can see if I'm just overreacting.
I've gotten used to bastards who fill their water bottles at the fountain at the gym. Please refer to the "Twelve Alligators" post for more infomation. Anyway, I was waiting patiently last night and the guy in front of me starts washing his hair in the water fountain. I'd already had a bad day, so I wasn't going to stand for that shit. I got hella loud and said "QUIT WASHING YOUR HAIR IN THE PUBLIC WATER FOUNTAIN!" Every word got progressively louder. I was clearly upset.
A woman on the train was talking very loudly on her cell phone. Her ass took up one and a half seats and she was munching on a peach (big surprise, she's eating). Then she throws the peach pit on the floor after she was finished. The trains in Chicago aren't the most fragrant, but throwing food remains on the floor certainly isn't going to help the matter. I picked it up and I threw it in her lap and told her that she dropped something. Then I got up and stood by the door looking all ghetto. All she did was roll her eyes. If my chest was a cannon, I would have shot my heart at her.
Are people not aware that they share this earth with other people? I guess it's up to me to remind them that we DRINK from water fountains and that we place our refuse in the appropriate trash receptacles.
