I was waiting for the trax today when the crowd was informed there was a gas leak so the train wasn't coming and we would have to wait for a bus to take us north. While standing there waiting, a construction worker standing near started talking to me about the situation. Then, to be punny (pun + funny) he asked me "how's the weather down there?" (typical short joke) so i told him I had heard that one a million times and he was going to have to come up with something better than that. So he asked me if i had to use a ladder to reach my mailbox. (i've never heard that one before, so i will give him props for that.) Then he started asking more personal questions like how long i have lived here and what i did for a living, etc.
The bus eventually came and when i got on, he came and sat next me and told me that even though i was short i was also really cute. Awwwww.
In the meantime a very cheerful older man in a wheelchair with a long beard started talking to me. He had a cast on his leg so i asked him what happened. The second I asked, he proceeded to reach into the neck of his sweatshirt, (note that this sweatshirt did not have a pocket, he just kept it in between his clothing) and pulled out a hand-full of x-rays and medical papers showing me the pictures from his surgery and the bolts they had put in his foot. (Wow, i was not expecting to see that)
After the guy in the wheelchair finished his story, the construction worker started talking to me again, asking more personal questions like how old I was and if i had a boyfriend. So i told him i was 25 and he said he was 35 and i said, "yea, that's old." haha. Then he asked me if I was was ever free, for a date, like on the weekends, and I told him not for another month. (which is actually true, so i wasn't lying) Then he asked if he could give me his number and I could call him if I ever wanted to go on a date and I said sure. So he gave me his number, and then got off the bus and said it was nice to meet you as he walked away.
So, in conclusion, I still got it. And I wasn't even trying. haha. and I probably am not going to call him. But props for trying. What a great courageous soul.
