Walk of Shame

At the beginning of this year i promised myself this would be the year to become healthy, i swore off smash and promised that i would run every day.  So far i have learned to make potatoes taste like smash and have power walked twice, with a little less 'power' than expected.  Now being unashamedly awkward i refuse to do this and possibly look people in the eye, so i popped on my sunglasses, did my usual few laps and went to leave, convincing myself that Usain Bolt has the very same routine.  Leaving was the awkward part...

Mid stride i was stopped by a regular guy, late 30's, who i assumed needed directions or just a chat. No, no, no.  Instead he asked for my autograph.  As much as i loved this and genuinely basked  in the moments glory i literally had no idea who he thought i was.  Should i have smiled and explained that i am not who he thinks i am, or asked him 'Who do i sign it to?'  So for today i did the first, i smiled and powered off, him telling me "maybe some other time" (probably seeing as from now on i will be waiting at the same place to sign anything he has to offer).

Light Reading

Whilst I claim to be healthy  all the time it’s more than likely that I will find myself lingering near any bus stop just in case one should happen to pass ‘by chance’.  And today was of course one of those days (it was windy and I was holding a frozen yoghurt- nobody can walk in that).  Now I know that when I take the lazy option I should be willing to put up with the bus craziess, but I don’t know where to stand on this one…

…Whilst waiting for my stop a man stands right behind me and gets his book out, no problem here, he seems like a nice bookworm.  Until he used the back of my neck to prop his book up.  Not my back, not even just my shoulder, right onto where my head meets my neck as if I wouldn’t notice.  I don’t know about anyone else but this was a bit far for me, but because he started laughing and was genuinely enjoying it I put up with it for the rest of the journey (who am I to ruin his Wednesday?) and I am now considering offering my services for other bus travellers. Good business venture?

I ask what you would do in this situation, tell him to calm down and read unaided or pretend like he’s an old friend and bend over?
