Who does that?

I don’t know why but for some reason I tend to attract crazy people. Honestly I have tons of stories I could tell about some crazy person who decided to take an interest in me. My mother really loves these stories because she says stuff like this only seems to happen to me.

I’ve had people come up and start talking to me about how they left their husband and are getting a divorce. I had some psycho on the train sitting behind me thinking it was okay for him to try and run his fingers through my hair. YUCK. I still shudder when I think of that. Once after one of my knee operations, while I was waiting outside for my mom to bring her car around, a man came up to me and started praying for my lost soul and trying to save me. He didn’t stop until I was in the car and my mom was quickly speeding away.

Now it’s become so common that I’m pretty much used to the crazies. If anything it’s another story for me to tell people. Except for yesterday.

As I got out of work yesterday and started my usual journey to the train station this man standing by a van started walking toward me. He started calling me “lovely” and kept asking for me to come to him. THEN he actually started walking toward me and tried to give me a HUG. Honestly now, who the hell does that?? What stranger sees someone walking and decides that they want to hug them and consequently scare the crap out of them.

I got really scared that I all but broke out into a run, and got away from him as fast as I could. He kept calling after me asking where I was going. Are you serious?? What was I going to do? Turn around and give the creepster a hug? I just kept walking, checking over my shoulder every minute to make sure he wasn’t following me.

Now usually I can laugh these things off, and I did when I was safely home. But I keep thinking that that could have turned really badly. Even though I was in the city and there were a lot of people around, what was stopping that man from full on attacking me and dragging me to his sketchy van?

I’m seriously thinking about buying myself some pepper spray. That was not cool.

Has anything like this happened to you? Do you attract the crazies like I do?

Going up??

The building where I work only has 12 floors. You would think that since there are 3 elevators that it wouldn’t really take that long for the elevator to reach your floor. It’s actually quite the opposite. It takes forever to reach my floor. I always feel like I am waiting forever for the elevator to come. Mix that with my impatience and the need to get to the hell out of the office at the end of the day, and you have a very angry person.

Well yesterday I was waiting for the elevator to come. About a minute passes by (but I swear it feels like 5) and I start to pace back and forth. In my mind, the pacing will make the elevator come more quickly. Another minute goes by (which is like 10 for me) and I’m really getting angry. I’m walking around in circles because the pacing just wasn’t cutting it. Finally another minute goes by and I’m about ready to take the stairs. Walking down 11 flights will of course be faster than this thing!!! As I make my way to the door, I look down and I see that I DID NOT PRESS THE BUTTON!!! I am an idiot. Of course as soon as I hit the down button the elevator is there within seconds. I really need to get my head together. I am officially losing it.

On a lighter note

So after the last post, which I so badly wanted to take down right after I posted, I decided to share 2 stories that would seriously only happen to me…

1) I’ve been tanning in order to get myself ready, that way when I do go away on vacation I won’t burn and have the whole trip ruined. So I’ve been tanning, and after being completely burned the first time, I haven’t really gotten any red. Just a nice tan. However, for some reason the areas where I ended up peeling from that first burn have become extra tan. So my back now resembles a Dalmatian dog! I have one big spot in the middle of my back that is super dark and then other spots around my back that are equally as dark, but the rest of my back is lighter. Needless to say it looks ridiculous. ALSO I have one spot in-between my boobs, that is a big circle that again is much tanner then the rest of my body! So just in case you thought that when you go tanning you get a nice even tan with no lines. WELL your wrong! And I can’t seem to fix the situation. I’ve covered and put lotion on the darker spots, but the rest of my body doesn’t seem to be catching up! So most likely for the rest of the summer I will look like a spotted dog. But for some reason, instead of being really upset I find it hilarious so I’m not letting it bother me too much.

2) The other day I went to the gas station to fill up my car.. While I was waiting for the attendant to come over I was playing with my debit card. So there I was acting like a kid, and I was tapping the card on the door where the window is. All of a sudden the card dropped and feel INTO my car door. It fell where the window goes down, and I heard it drop way down to the bottom. There was no way for me to be able to get it back, unless someone was willing to take my door apart without charging me a ton of money. So luckily I had money on me, so I filled up the tank and went home to report my card lost. I felt so stupid that I didn’t want to tell the truth about what happened. But the guy started asking all these questions about my past transactions that I finally had to tell him that it’s not exactly lost, it’s in a place that I can’t reach it. So the guy held back a giggle and helped me get a new card. Then I had to wait for the card to come and had barely any available cash on me until then. But I finally got the card and all is back to normal. Expect when I tell this to people they just can’t understand how I did that. In all honesty I can’t either.

I defiantly have more stories like this, but I’ll save them for a rainy day when I can’t think of anything to write.
