Bonus February Post: Oh No You Didn't!
Since we get an extra day in awful February, here is an extra post. This is a true story. No embellishments.
It was a Friday, one of the last days in February, and we were extremely busy. I had about 10 minutes for lunch, so I finished an appointment with a senior kitty and ran across the street to get Subway.
I was standing in line, contemplating what sandwich to get and what would cost me the most points-wise (WW), and settled on roast beef. Then I decided to get myself a bag of cheetos to snack on. It was a very stressful week and I needed some comfort food.
I paid for my lunch and walked out of the store, back in the direction of the hospital. Coming toward me was a rather large woman carrying a few plastic bags and gesticulating while talking to herself. There are a few vagrants and homeless around, and most are harmless, so I didn't think much of it. Until I noticed she was looking at me and talking to me.
She came right up to me and got in my face, calling me a bitch and saying things like "Oh you think you're too good for me?" and other incomprehensible insults. I said, "I'm just walking.." and tried to duck around her. That's when she swung her fist and hit me in the back of my head/neck.
I turned and the words "What the FUCK?" came out of my mouth. She jumped toward me, trying to provoke me into a fight. I just walked across the street back to the clinic. These were my thoughts, in order:
1. Did that really just happen?
2. I need to call the police.
3. I'm so glad I bought myself cheetos.
I went back to work and called the police, and several cars drove around looking for her. I don't think they found her.
I contemplated the odds of this ever happening again while eating my cheetos. They're 10 points per bag, by the way.

This is both sad and hilarious at the same time. I feel like you deserved a full size bag!
ReplyDeleteI never buy myself full size because I will sit there and eat it ALL.
