I love this town. Really, I do. Bright lights, big city, and all the wankers you could imagine:
1 - The morning rush: a bus full of yuppies, all imported from nearby small towns, consider themselves “dressed up” cos they’re wearing polo shirts and nice khakis.
Extra points cos the polo shirt is tucked in.
2 - A coffee shop: the young lady at the register rings up $2 and change for a (small) bottle of water… then has the nerve to ask me, “will that be all?”
I shouldn’t complain — it’s cheaper than gas. Wait, hold on, let me convert mL to gallons… wait, no, I think the water costs more.
3 - In a mall parking lot: a young couple leaves a restaurant and the lad struts like he’s Captain Big-Balls himself. Chest out and chin up. Playing sidewalk-chicken with people cos he’s not moving out of anyone’s way. Yes, quite proud that he has just treated his laydee to a fine meal at … Outback Steakhouse.
Ya wanna side ah testosterone wit tat, mate?
4 - In Target (Tar-zhay to the upper-crust among you): practically shouting into her mobile phone: “That is not true. THAT IS NOT TRUE. … I’m not trying to fucking argue with you. … Yeh, well I don’t really give a fuck what you believe about that shit!”
I take it, the price of tampons went up?
