OHHH PLEEEZ

Monday, 11 July

On my way to work, somebody suddenly grabbed my shoulder from behind. I got surprised, and he scared the crap out of me. Anyway, he was a Caucasian about mid 30s, very sweaty not in a good way. He instantly started asking me a question in English. "How do I get to the closest CitiBank?" or something. I don't remember the exact sentence he said. First of all, it's extremely rude to grab someone's shoulder all of the sudden. Second of all, try to speak Japanese at least for the first sentense like "Excuse me, I don't speak Japanese". Or at least try to speak English slowly. Third of all, don't expect everybody to speak English please. I was a little cranky already for my being unable to walk fast enough because of the thing on my ankle. As my shoulder literally hurt a little bit and my heart was racing from the surprise, here's what I said."Oh, Gee. I do know how to get to Citibank, but I am not sure if I would be able to direct you in English. I don't have a lot of vocab. I wish I could help! Sorry."

But he didn't get my sarcasm, did he? I am a happy person usually but, once in a very very blue moon, I can be bitchy just like that. Please... Japanese are always nice to help people for directions or something. That's what I hear. I made a negative reputation about us.... Okay, I am a bad person....

Shigeki, you aren't a bad person. For that matter, neither was he probably. Maybe you both met each other when you were both feeling grouchy.

I still think you rock :)

Hi hope he wasn't Canadian! Could've been. I would've been pissed off too. Unless he was a good looking sweaty stranger. I hope your day went better.

Hi Larry,

Thank you! But I still think it wasn't nice of me to have said that to a sweaty guy. :-) I guess I will try to be little more reasonable next time.

Hi Leigh,

I didn't want a sweaty man to grab my shoulder. (T_T)

Hi Sven,

That's true. But it doesn't mean I should have acted like I did. Well, I wasn't really prepared for that one to be nice to, I guess. Maybe, next time.

Hi Raph,

You can't believe how naughty I can get. :-)

Hi inter|textual,

He sounded very British. (not that I am against them or anything...) Unfortunatelly, he wasn't a great looking sweaty stranger at all. If he was, I would have been less pissy. :-)

Thanks for stopping by, guys!

Shigeki

So can you please tell how naughty you can be, and we'll see if we can belive it or not? ;)

I once had sex with my coworker during the duty when I was 22. Some other things come in my mind but I'd like to keep them private. :-)
