Today start­ed off weird. I was at the bus stop wait­ing for my bus to go to the City, when I sud­den­ly hear a loud voice com­ing from behind me:

“HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

I was caught off guard as I sud­den­ly turned towards the source. With a quick glance, I sud­den­ly saw this old man in front of his house (which is next to the bus stop). I quick­ly gave a look around if it was me he was talk­ing to. I also think I did a quick Taxi mono­logue (“You talkin’ to me…?”).

I then respond­ed in a dumb­found­ed man­ner:

“Excuse me?” He replies with the same ques­tion. “Good morn­ing. I’m wait­ing for the bus…(?)”

While say­ing that, I was tak­ing a look below me. “I have my pants on for sure,” I said to myself. Then, the fol­low­ing ensued:

• old man: “Wait­ing for the bus…? I just saw you tak­ing your pants off.”
• me: “What??? No, just wait­ing for my bus haha” *crackin’ up inside*
• old man: “Well… I thought I saw you tak­ing off your pants.”
• me: “Haha… It’s too ear­ly in the week for that” *smil­ing to light­en things up*
• old man: “Too ear­ly in the week? Not for my week(!)”

I think he was still some­what pissed off. I did­n’t real­ly pay atten­tion as I was still crackin’ up inside, and not try­ing to show it.

Mean­while, after catch­ing the bus, I took a moment to rem­i­nisce. Before he came out gun-sling­ing out of his house, I remem­ber putting my keys in my back­pack. Now, there was a faux rock thing that cov­ers those power/cable/phone out­lets on the pave­ment. I know that I have put my back­pack down in front of me, on top of that faux rock. I… just hap­pen to be fac­ing his house while doing it. That, and he prob­a­bly heard me zip-up my back­pack haha.

The thing that both­er me is, he prob­a­bly was observ­ing me the whole time even before I zipped up my bag. Damn, what a crazy morn­ing and a crazy dude.

From my mind to yours, when wait­ing for a bus: make sure to look out for crazy home bod­ies; be under­stand­ing if they all of sud­den prowl at you for no rea­son at all; and be ready for a great laugh—though it seems very weird HA!
