The weatherman had been telling us all week “watch out for the rain tomorrow, forecast is for showers and a possible storm later”, all week it had been nothing but blue skies, sunshine lolliepops… so of course when I awoke to glorious sunshine, crispy morning and light wind, with barely a cloud in the sky I thought… “i don’t need an umbrella”
Walking through the hospital (which is my short cut to work) I see some people with umbrellas and think “well, you guys are carrying it for nothing”.
I had walked into the hospital seeing sunshine and when I got to the other end it was pouring cats and dogs and their water bowls. Couldn’t believe it! As I stood there I wondered if I could do the Homer Simpson thing put my foot out of one side of the hospital “sunshine” the other foot out the other side “rain” “sunshine! Rain! Sunshine! Rain! Sunshine! Rain!”
What annoyed me the most were the selfish bastards who had umbrellas…
Yeah you, you know im talking about you!
I stood there in my dress, waiting for the rain to dissipate… while bastard after bastard walked past with their big huge beach umbrellas that could cover a small classroom of children underneath it… did anyone offer to walk me? NO! The only consolation I had was that because these people braved the strong ghastly winds and the rain they heads may have been dry but they entire bodies were getting soaked as they walked down the street… I waited for almost half an hour… but then I saw an opportunity to get out there… I did not get wet, I had a few sprinkles on me… and when I got to my building and approached the elevators… I saw one of those selfish bastards who had SEEN me stuck at the hospital without an umbrella waiting for it. Well Mr Level 5 IT nerd… seems like you have soaked wet shoes and soaked pants… and I don’t, and without an umbrella… he looked at me, gave me a forced kind of a smile while looking down at his soaked body…..hmmm me thinks… CHECK MATE… mate…
you know what i love about people who have umberrellas? watching their umbrella get thrown inside out in the crazy wind. thats cracks me up.
haha Ange – I work on the terrace and its like a wind tunnel man. Which is another reason why I gave up on umbrellas. then you look like a doofus trying to turn your umbrella back int he right way while gettnig soaking wet hehe.
hahaha – ange i agree with you! but that is why last winter i invested in one of seriously hardcore “brollie’s” in the hope of not having my umbrella get turned inside out (i live in fear that this will happen anyway; as like susi i work on st georges terrace and it is some crazy wind tunnel in winter!).
Susi, i don’t get people who don’t have the minisculiest amount of empathy for a person who clearly has forgotten their umbrella – i am the first person to offer another some salvation to huddle under mine… next time you should just run under his umbrella and smile asking “do you mind if i share your umbrella?” i have done this before and seriously – as if a person (male or female) is gonna say “no!”
CANT BELIEVE NOBODY HELPED YOU. I GUESS YOU WERE COVERING UR FACE. .
UMBRELLAS CAN SERVE ONE FULLY , TWO SOMEWHAT AND THREE NEVER. ANYWAY YOU SAW WHAT U WANTED TO SEE –A WET B..
omg, you just made a reference to one of my (if not my all time) favorite television show.
The Simpsons!
Well, you prbly already knew that looking at my screen name/username.
Soul mates Susi! SOUL MAAAAAAAAAAATES!!!!
Frankly, I’m surprised you let this sopping son of a bitch in the elevator with you. In the wake of his unkindness, I’d have advised Aquaman to take the stairs.
LOL@ivis love it! a wet B…. hahaha nice one
Ottomann I already knew this about us… soul mates! it is you that keeps avoiding me
haha
MVD – I would have except that you can only use the stairs once you are on the 2nd floor, dont ask me why its just how my stupid building is haha so he HAD to get on. but he was wet and I was not.. hehe. nice to see you around here!
you must have good karma
Not offering you an umbrella is crap. I would have offered you one. I can feel your pain. It has been raining every day for two weeks here.
i. love. rain.
i think i’ll move to seattle.
