That awkward moment when a guy dips one fat forefinger deep
into his nose, whirls it around real fast like it's a frisbee; digs impossibly
deeper like he's going for gold, and then drags out a fat, disgusting boogie
and flicks it happily into the air (in a public vehicle, mind) only for it to
land on the leg of the innocent girl seated beside him. Honestly if you didn't
know women were saints, know it now. She restrained herself from giving him a
richly deserved setdown (I mean who does that?
Digging your nose willy nilly, and in public too?) She merely drew his
attention and pointed a finger at the offending boogie on her legs and the
mannerless man immediately took it off her. She didn't say another word the
rest of the trip but she did sit in stiff, cultured,aloof, dignified silence
until I alighted and I could tell her skin was crawling every minute she had to
endure the aftermath of the assault on her person with a flick of boogies. I
have to tell you, witnessing it was traumatizing enough; never mind
experiencing it. I mean, I'm writing this at 2:42am because I'm still having
nightmares about what went down. By the way, I couldn't have dinner last night
thanks to Mr Boogie. Now imagine how his hapless victim felt.
Your mother was right; mind your manners in public!!!
