WTF

So I was taking a walk today, down by the river, listening to my mp3 player as I do, and I didn't pay too much attention when this maori guy passed me on his bicycle and ended up parking at a bench ahead of me, and saying 'hi' as I walked by. I gave a nod, and carried on. There were plenty of other people using the path, so I didn't feel too unsafe, but I suppose part of me did take note...

Even with my player going, I kept aware of my surroundings, and I approached this part where the path had two splits off the main path. I was planning to take one, but I checked behind me first, and there was the guy on the bike! He went up the other split, and I kept my eye on that path to make sure he didn't see me going up the other one. One can never be too safe.

But!!!!! I was at the top of the path, and glanced back one more time, and there he was! I played it cool, but was glad I could see at least one other person, so I could yell out if anything happened. He came up next to me, and asked a question I didn't hear over my music (loud part of the song) and so I pulled off a headphone to have him repeat the question.

"Excuse me, but do you smoke pot?"

Uh, what? "...No."

I went to put my headphone back on. "Um, are you single?"

"Noooo."

"Oh, sorry to bother you, sorry. Have a good evening!" And he turned around and cycled off.

WTF HAMILTON? WHAT THE FUCKITY FUCK?! This is about as disturbing as the event about three years ago where, on Wellington St I believe, a man pulled over next to me originally asked for directions, which turned into asking me to coffee, and then turned into asking if I'd like to make a little money, say $100 for a good time, negotiable if I tell my (fictitious) boyfriend...

This placed is more messed up than I ever remembered it.

The other news today is that I finished Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. All I can say is, there are so many balls jokes in there.

Fin.
