Have you ever experienced the joy of watching a grandfather and his grandson have a knock-down-drag-out fight right in front of your eyes, complete with shoving and punching. Well, I just did today at work, and I am still stunned. This is an 80+ man, shoving this mountain of a teenager, bitching at him about how he was in WW2 so he should shut up and respect him. It was truly a classic. I tried with all my might not to laugh. It was hard.
This is not the first time that I have been witness to crazy things done and said in public. People seem to like to argue in public venues. Everything from classic "nothing fights" (thanks Dane) to full blown explosions of emotions. And, I have laughed at all of them. I can't help it. But, sometimes it isn't even that serious. It the mundane comments that I love the most.
I was at a bookstore the other week, minding my own business, when I hear a woman and man in the history section, talking rather loudly. It went a little something like this. Man - "Did you find it?" Woman - "No, I can't even concentrate this music is so loud and grating." It was jazz. I ran to my friend to tell them what I had heard and collapsed into laughter. I was out with my man at a restaurant and we heard people at the next table lamenting about what they were going to do, because their hairdryer had broken. They couldn't imagine what their next move should be. UH. . . .BUY A NEW ONE?! People slay me.
