Escalation notes down to the other side of the canal:
- Red anger goading pretty much all the way to the other side of the canal, especially once across to the other side.
- Also people purposely blocking the path and pretending you don’t exist, then annoyed when your bag touches them as you pass even though they quite clearly saw me approaching
- On entering the shop cafe, young woman staff shouts "free", then on paying calls me wanker under her breath, then annoyed that I asked for the receipt which she forgot to give me. Update: a bloke shouted free as I finally left several hours later
- Very large butch woman wearing bright red top sitting right next to the power outlet, very intent on making eye contact, talking aggressively on phone.
- Somebody in shop opposite taking photos or video of me or someone near me, then laughing when I subtly raise my hand to cover my face. Then somebody in the room where I am saying "he knows".
- Strange issues with the power outlets, followed by staff saying "you won"
- Anytime shop staff go near the hot water fountain they say ‘lie’ or ‘liar’.
- Every time I come to this place somebody starts counting huge wads of cash. It happened again.
- It’s pretty clear the staff here are cycling through several pre-prepared situations, like american football plays
Update: It’s several hours later since I wrote this note. I’ve been listening podcasts, it’s been quite quiet in my surroundings. I decided to re-read and fix typos and wording. Within about 10 seconds of starting to make edits, typing on my phone, an extreme camp bloke has piped up, gotten on the phone and is anger goading my every move. He keeps saying the word 'Gay' for instance. Anyway just wanted to make an update to the note. When I speak about blocking, this is often the sort of thing I am talking about. #
