#45 - LIST FRIDAY, Talking to Strangers Edition

When I was downtown today I didn't actually talk to any strangers, but if I had here is what I would have said:

Things I Would Have Said To Strangers If I Had Talked To Any Of Them While I Was Downtown Today
  • To the teenage boy wearing Dark Side of the Moon pajama pants: "Can't you find any music from the 21st century to get high to? Also, don't wear PJ pants in public."
  • To the woman who keeps scratching her knee: "Why is your knee so itchy? May I suggest a soothing balm or medicated ointment of some sort?"
  • To the girl on the bus who sat in my favorite seat: "I wouldn't really mind if you were using the seat to it's full potential, but when you sit in the putting-your-feet-up seat and then don't put your feet up it is just insulting."
  • To the guy who works at HMV and is trying to impress a girl by suggesting she buy the new Josh Ritter CD: "Good call, dude."
  • To the old man who thinks I am crazy: "You can't see my headphones and are also not psychic so it is probably unclear that I am listen to something hilarious on my iPod. Don't worry, I am not laughing at you."

That's probably the boy at HMV I have a crush on, $1000 dollars says it is. (I don't have $1000.) Good call indeed. I'm sorry my tattoo story makes you feel guilty.
