Oh my. 
We traipsed all over today looking at neighborhoods because we want to find a better apartment. It was overall a great trip and we made progress in the hunt.
There were just a few instances along the way.
But I don't want the package...
My town doesn't really have a lot of public restrooms, so when you need to go when you're out and about, it can be tricky. Often, you have to have an employee let you in, which was the case in this Walgreens. I feel bad doing that without at least buying something, so I picked up some hair clips I had been looking for anyway. At the register, I was behind a woman trying to haggle with the cashier about the price of an umbrella.
Crazy Customer: *says something I didn't quite catch about the package*
Cashier: There's nothing wrong with the umbrella. This is just the package it comes in, the umbrella is fine.
CC: No, I don't want the package. I just want the umbrella, so you can keep the package and I can have a discount since I'm not buying that part.
I quickly turned around and went to another register at this point. This was not going to go well and I told my husband if I stayed there, I was probably going to pull a Lupo on the idiot.
A reason to run
We walked up to an intersection just as the light was changing - not in our favor. Rather than making a mad dash and potentially holding up traffic, we decided to wait out the light cycle. Just as we stopped, someone ran by us at top speed out in front of the cars. Keep in mind, it was about 36 degrees out.
Me: Well, I can see now why he's running.
Husband: Yeah, he must be cold in those shorts.
Me: No, his shorts are split down the butt and his lime green boxers are hanging out.
Husband:
You're not her mommy
On the way home, the train stopped longer at a station to make the announcement that the train would be running express and skip several stops.
Announcement: The next stop will be Granville. (No, not that Granville. I don't live anywhere near GK.
)
Teenage girls (loudly) and me (very softly): Yes! (I was exhausted and wanted to be home.)
Woman: SHIT!
Teen girl: Language!
W: (ignores girl, wisely) Dammit! (Gets off train to wait for the next one)
TG: Just calm down.
The teens are talking about her and pointing at her standing at the platform commenting about how ticked she still looked. The girl who said something to her before starts mouthing at her through the window things like "Relax" and "Calm down". I'm sure she would have a few choice words if her stop was being skipped and she had to wait for another train out in the cold.
