Egg shells and plugged ears
While I was waiting for the bus the other day, I had the pleasure of watching this guy peel a hard-boiled egg - while, of course, tossing the shells in the street - and then shove the entire thing in his mouth.
Egg shells is garbage right? It's just the dumbest thing I've ever seen - someone standing on the curb throwing egg shells in the street. It really pissed me off. I stared at the guy the entire time with this look on my face, like are you seriously throwing your kitchen garbage in the street? He continued, unfazed.
Then, I stared again in amazement as this guy hoovered up the entire egg in one suck. His cheeks were so full and he was chewing like a maniac. He ate it so fast, I couldn't even get a shot of it. Here he is after devouring the entire egg. Clearly, he's pissed that I've caught him being such an asshole.
Then, I finally get on the bus and I end up sitting across from this freakshow. First, he's wearing pajama pants - it's 24 degrees out. And two, every time the bus door opens he plugs his ears, closes his eyes and rocks back and forth. Now, there is a slight beeping sound when the bus stops and lowers to let passengers unboard and board. It is NOT however at any sort of sound level where you would have to plug your ears. And even if it was loud enough to hurt this guy's ears, then what the hell is he doing in NYC? It's the loudest place EVER! How does he walk the streets with screaming sirens and garbage trucks and those huge double-decker tour buses rumbling by?
I will never grow tired of the weird people in this city.
