so i was on the bus this morning trying to decide whether or not to get pissed off at this fat guy pretending to sleep on the outside seat (blocking the inside seat which was vacant) when i surprisingly got the seat infront of him.
i sat, happy that i got the window seat, took out my zen and attempted to sleep. a few stops later this NJ boy came and sat next to me.
then as i was staring out the window i suddenly heard a loud "haaAAA CHOO!" from behind me, felt a little moisture sprinkle on the back of my shoulder and actually saw my hair move from the gust.
oh.my.goodness.
WHY? WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS?!!?!?!!
i think i was overcome with shock, or overwhelmed with disgust, or just plain about to die thinking of my now germ-coated hair, but i actually managed not to scream and obsessively wipe myself down.
i didnt even move.
but after counting to about 150, i decided i couldn't stand it any more. i decided to at least give him my best TAMADE look.
okay digress: this NJ boy was sitting in such a way that his feet were in the aisle, which means his back was facing me a little bit.
So yes, i decided to give the sneezer THELOOK, but when i turned my head something caught my eye:
there was booger splattered on the NJ guy's shirt.
i shit you not. there were two splashes the size of a fingernail each on the back of his shirt!!! and it was like, hard green boogers mixed with the slimy stuff. NOW i really felt like puking and then dying face down in my own puke.
why? why? WHy do people do these things?! i felt SOBAD for the boy i decided to seriously UP the tamade face in hopes of turning the sneezer into stone and stop him from sneezing on other people any more.
but when i looked at him i just couldnt.
because he had sucha eyes-like-dinner-plates-mouth-wide-open OH NO WHAT HAVE I DONE look of HORROR on his face that i just had to laugh.
and his shocked face stuck there for SOLONG, like he couldn't believe he'd just emptied out his nose on the poor boy infront of him.
man... if only i had my camera!
moral of the story: you usually can feel it when you're about to sneeze. when that happens, COVER your nose and mouth! you're not always going to be so lucky. one day, i will have my camera with me. :P
