1. McDonalds
Two guys are sitting at a table not too far away from me. There's nothing particularly outlandish about either of them, but together they have a penchant for hilarious conversation. The best part is that they don't seem to be aware of how funny they actually are. Examples:
"What texting plan you got?"
"Unlimited, but I'm almost out."
and:
"You know, if I like a girl and she likes me, I'm gonna date her."
"Funny how that works out."
2. Starbucks
I've been stopping by the Starbucks on Berwyn before every class I've had with the Neo-Futurists. Every time I grab a coffee there there's this short white-haired man in big round cokebottle glasses that make his eyes look comically larger than they actually are. The collar he wears indicates that he's a priest or something of the kind.
The last time I was there I was waiting for the restroom to open up. The restrooms are single occupancy, so there's almost always a wait.
So I'm standing in front of the door for the men's restroom when I hear a flush. And from out of the women's restroom walks the priest.
I look at him and involuntarily cock my head.
"Sure," he replies. "I do it. Everybody else does it." And with that he walks off.
I realize what the heck, they are individual restrooms, it doesn't matter, and decide to use the women's restroom. I realize that it is in no way different from the guys' room.
