12:15:00 +07:00 Incident followups - Of course there were followups to yesterdays incidents. There always are.
I walked past the food place where the woman didn't like not cutting my pork into strips. Checked in to see if they had some food. Wouldn't you know it they only had 1 pork chop left. 1 lonely looking pork chop. What are the chances? I decided to pass. I was there later than usual so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. And even though she was a bit shouty yesterday, mostly she's okay, so perhaps she was just having a bad day.
Next I walked past the headphones place which was just up the road. As I walked past, a cigarette butt emerged flying through the air, landing right at my feet. Gee what are the chances? I don't give so much benefit of doubt to people that flick lit cigarettes at you, especially if they were previously purpusely and maliciously coughing all over the item you were trying to buy.
At the corner shop a bit further down the road I got some instant noodles. The motorbikes were parked in a strange way as I entered. In a way that forced you to enter in one of two ways. Inside, I had to rinse my noodle recepticle, so filled it with hot water from the dispensor and went back outsite. Emptied the contents after a good shake onto the street, on front of the strangely parked motorbike. Went back in to buy the noodles. On the way out guess what was placed a few centimeters next to where I emptied the hot water? Yep that's right, a still smoking cigarette butt. Gosh what are the chances? Word travels faster than the wind in this place. And you are always wrong.
The rest of the morning has been litered with similar incidents. The two big themes are stop / start / stop / start. Just when you start to do something, you get blocked. Then it's hurry up, then blocked again. It's a recurring pattern. It's usually followed by people wearing red clothes. Classic anger goading. The stop start shenanigans can literally go on for hours sometimes. The other theme is water goading. I wrote previously about my water sources being virtually cut off. Well they went even further this morning. Right after using it, the renaining water source trickle stopped. Now neither water sources work. I literally don't know what I'll do. Anyhow there's been a lot of water related goading this morning. #
