DREAM RACINE.

Most of my traveling is either on foot, on bus, or on metro. I can drive, but gas prices are OD and Ive grown accustomed to public transportation. Every week, I witness oddest people, conversations, or occurrences. Here are a few:

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Yesterday, Im sitting at the bus stop by the CVS on Georgia and Florida ave waiting for the 96. A man sits down next to me. Now this man was a brother, he had on some jeans and tee shirt, looked about early to mid 40ish, looked like he was from DC, probably born and raised. I try not to judge people, or act scared or uneasy…they’re just people. No one has ever robbed me or never put their hands on me so, whatever. This man keeps glancing at me. I keep looking straight. Glances again. Look straight. Then after about 10 minutes, he howls. Yes, howls, like a wolf. I cant. I just cant. Like imagine,you are sitting next to this man at 6:30 in the evening, youre thinkin about what you gonna eat when you get home and he starts howling. I had to get up and proceeded to just walk home. I just couldnt.

Attempted Robbery

Similar story. Im at Union station metro bouta put some more money on my metro card. I pull out my little pick wallet and can sense someone very close behind me. I hold my wallet tighter and move up in line. Right when i proceed to pull out my atm card, this dude, look like he bout 20, gets uncomfortably close to my face and says “aye you dropped somethin” i look at him for a good 3 seconds and look down real quick and when i lifted my eyes back up he had his eyes on my atm card. HA! I WAS QUICKER. So he lifts his eyes back to mine and says “do you have any spare change” Usually, if i have it, I give it, but for him hell no. I know for sure, his ass was gonna attempt to rob me. Im sure of it. Jerk.

Doors Closing

Last story. I am skinny. Metro doors close quickly. Once, I ran into the train and half of my body was in and half was out. Im so slim that the doors didnt know what to do. So it just sat there, with half of my body in and out for like a while 30 seconds. Imagine. Your face, right arm, right leg and right ass cheak in on a train and the rest of your body is out and hella people are lookin at you. This man finally got up and pull open the door to let me in. Thanksssss
