preface: my glasses are just the tiniest bit crooked and it’s driving me nuts.
\ni spent four hours saturday night wearing a reflextive vest trying to keep spectators out of the path of the relay runners. first, people are stupid. second, people don’t listen. third, people are stupid. a few select examples:
\n– i yell “watch out for the runners, please!” man stops dead in the middle of the path and looks behind him (i’m in front). a runner nearly collides with him. he looks surprised.
\n– i yell “watch out for the runners, please!” woman is halfway across the path, when she hears me she starts backing up, right into a runner. she looks surprised.
\n– i yell “watch out for the runners, please!” man, with two women, stops and looks around. his female friends stop him from hitting a runner. he looks at me and says, “all i heard was ‘swish swish swish swish’!” he smiles like this is funny.
\none scary example of the state of youth:
\n– i put my arm out to stop a young boy from running head-long into a runner. he immediately spins round at me with his fists raised, ready to strike.
\nat the beginning of the evening, when someone successfully crossed in time to avoid runners i’d say “thank you”, and i actually meant “thank you”. by ten o’clock, my saying “thank you” actually meant more like “fuck off you cocksucking motherfucking assholes!”
\ni hate people.
