Problems that were overhyped:
- quicksand
- people offering me drugs
- the Bermuda Triangle
Problems that I was underprepared for:
- nightly existential dread
- remembering all 17,392 passwords required to do my job
- arguing with robots about whether or not there is an unexpected item in the bagging area
@LadyDragonfly Story time!
When I was living in Chicago, a friend and I visited a bar in Ukrainian Village. We were standing outside talking when this sketchy guy walked up and mumbled something.
Having no idea what he said, and trying to just make him go away, I nonchalantly replied, “Yeah,” and went back to chatting with our group.
The guy came back and mumbled again. Again, I said, “oh okay,” or something.
He looked confused. Mumbled something again. Now I’m getting a bit annoyed and concerned. But I play it cool, and say, “Sure. Okay man.” And go back to chatting.
He then gets kind of pissed off and leaves. My group was confused on what just happened, so we really try to figure out what he was saying.
“I got good weed here. I got dimes. I got nickels.”
It was just like how Nancy Reagan warned me, only I unknowingly just said, “Yes”.
I gotta believe it was pretty schwaggy, hash seems like the winning play out there.
