PITA (Pain In The Ass) of The Day – Subway Talker
I think Imma have to start printing out some of my blog posts and handing them out as flyers. Obviously some people dont have access to the internet! Otherwise, they'd have read my 5 Reasons You Might Be Annoying Part 1, and they wouldnt be out there annoying people right now.
Here is a PRIME EXAMPLE of #1 on that list! THE RANDOM AZZ TALKER! This guy engaged in conversation with EVERYONE he was able to make eye contact with! When I first got on the train, he was talking to some white girl. At first I thought they were together the way he was talking her to death and engaging her. I figured they must be college classmates or something. She talked back to him and acted like she was actually interested...i doubt she was (looking back, she was probably scared). I had on my earphones so I couldnt hear the convo. She got off, he stayed on. He looked around with a dumb grin on his face, searching for eyes to lock with.
A few minutes later, I look up, and he's talking to this black lady who is CLEARLY trying to read her book. She entertained him for a while, chuckling and going back and forth with banter but finally she was over it and proceeded to read her book as he rambled on. Some people cant take hints to save their lives. You would think if you're yapping and someone is reading, that would be your cue to shut the eff up! Not ole TALKY! He yapped until he had cotton mouth!
At this point I muted my iPod. I had to hear what was so important that he felt the need to tell the whole city, one nationality at a time. He was telling some BS story about some guy who got arrested for mistaken identity because he didnt have his I.D...and how it wouldnt have happened to him because he has a great family who would help him. If his family is so great, why doesnt he go home and talk to THEM?!
Finally he took a break...(his poor tongue was probably like I QUIT *jumps out of his mouth and into the train tracks....licks the third rail*) until the next stop when a latino guy got on! As soon as the poor guy sat down he started talking his ear off! That takes such skill to be able to immediately engage in conversation like that! There is a telemarketing job with his name on it!
The latino guy chatted back at first! Then he tried to look around and show his disinterest...when THAT didnt work, he pretended to sleep! If reading a book didnt stop Yappity Yap over there, obviously closing your eyes wont either! He talked until the guy got up and moved!
Man the New York City Transit System has some real live ones. And as you can see, ALL crazy people dont talk to THEMSELVES! I bet the next time you see a nut talking to himself, you'll appreciate him more for not talking to YOU.
Anyhoo, after the latino guy moved, ole Gum Flappy tried to start up convo with a black dude sitting close by but clearly the brotha wasnt feeling it! I bet that guy is still on the train yapping! He probably rides back and forth just talkin everyone to death! He's probably talking to an asian lady as I type this! I bet you dont even have to understand English for him to talk your ear off! He would talk a deaf man to death!
He tried so hard to make eye contact with me but I am soooo not the one! Because Im not as nice as those other people! I would have told him to shut the eff up...and I would have MEANT IT!
