Cami and I have this little joke about “The Crazy of the Day Award”. Where when we see/know/experience someone or something that happens that day that is funny/weird/crazy or what have you, we share and declare them “crazy of the day”…. Being in the city a lot, we have more than enough material to work with… so I’ve decided to post my most recent.
So the other day I was in a McDonalds. I was waiting in the bathroom line for the ladies room. There was man next to me waiting for the men’s room. For one reason or another, he felt compelled to approach me. His name was Mike, he’s 43 and proceeded to hold a 4 min conversation. I use the term “conversation” loosely being that he was the only one talking, extremely fast, almost in a frantic way and pretty spastic. He didn’t seem scary or anything like that, but there was something off… so I kept my mouth shut and just let him talk till he was done or the bathroom door opened. Meanwhile I was staring at his face and thinking “where is the closest exit”, giving an occasional head nod, hoping my friend at the table was picking up on this, he was telling me WAY too much personal information about himself, about his 14 year old daughter, his friend who owns a McDonalds in the diamond district… and his 3 year stint in prison…
… Another winner ladies…
And the crazy award for the day goes to Mike, age 43.
