formerly Friday the 13th, the day Monday the 13th will be forever etched in my memory. This apocryphal tale is familiar with some of my associates. I thought I should share it with the masses. Probably the first moment where I was confronted with the fact that world will never be the same again.
so, Monday the 13th; I am catching the 19 tram on Sydney Road, with the intent of getting off at Barkly Square. Just before I get off, this old woman starts yelling and waving her cane in my face.
"piss off! keep away from me! keep away from me you filthy pig fucker!"
the first thing that went through my mind is I have to get a better quality of friends. They just blab my secrets to anyone. As the yelling and the cursing continued, I thought, I am not going to be dragged down to her level. If I did, I thought maybe I would say something like this -
"look, you've caught me on a Monday. I usually do my serial killing on a Friday so can you please cut this nonsense out?"
by this time I was off the tram and she is still yelling at me to go away. Paradoxically, as I was trying my best to get the hell away from her, she was waving down traffic to assist her to do who the hell knows what and now I am getting scared.
so I run.
the strange thing is I keep seeing her in the area - the next time was on the tram. I got off at the next stop. So my pheromone has evolved into the 2020 corona virus edition. Current, specific. More topic related.
time for the crazy people who are paranoid or upset by the topic of now to come and vent every phobia and delusion.
