conversation overheard on the bus today: girl: "i drove to work yesterday. i saw you walking to the bus stop on my way home." guy: "yeah, it was nasty outside last night" girl: "i thought about asking you if you wanted a ride. but my car is really dirty." guy: "yeah" girl: "...and i don't have automatic locks. so i would have had to like reach across and open the door to let you in." *silence for the rest of the bus ride* okay, so even if that happened to be the case, and this girl was feeling a little lazy, why on earth would you say that outloud? make up any other reason: brake failure, need to pee, dying grandmother, etc. not "eh, didn't really feel like stretching my arm out at that moment, so i left you to stand in the freezing rain." what would i do without public transportation?
