I’m grabbing something to eat when the guy behind the counter is unnecessarily talkative. He asked me about my cell phone, and I told him that I bought it at Best Buy.
“Me too,” he replies. “I have mine charging right now, because I just got it today.”
Wonderful.
I don’t even know HOW, but the topic of conversation changes…
Wait, I know. His eyes burst open, so I ask him what was wrong.
“Nothing, two hotties that just came in.”
I turn and look, and two young ladies entered the place, though I wouldn’t call them “Hotties.” I think he felt the same way because he decided to correct himself.
“See, it’s been a dry spell for me.” That should have been it, but no, he continues, saying, “A good year and a half, and I don’t know what happened.
“My girlfriend and I were together, then all of a sudden she’s gone, no way to get a hold of her, nothing.”
Silly me, I ask, “That was a year and a half ago?” Basically, I was just trying to feign compassion so I can get my food and leave.
“Yeah,” he replies. “I’m still waiting for her, too.”
Insert double take. “What do you mean?”
He looks at me as he gets my food which is finally ready. “I call her almost every day, hoping she’ll answer.”
Let it go, son. Let. It. Go.
Wowww. What a friggin psycho. It’s times like these I wish that they never closed down the Kings Park Psych Center. Hmm, you should have given him directions to Pilgrim State.

He was handling my food. The last thing I was going to do is give him a reason to add something I didn’t want.
Like malaria.
….What a scary person. Let it go definitely.
Regarding 2.5, I didn’t have to reinstall anything.
Are these the kind of conversations I get to look forward to living around NYC? If so, I may have to rethink my position on big city living….

Only if you’re me. I have no luck when it comes to stupid people on the streets.
Wow. That’s kind of…sad. Then again, if you believe something really is that special then holding on can sometimes be worth it.
I have no clue really. I would have given up by then.
