All Things Creepy

Creepy comes in different shapes, sizes... and can I say, odour? Yeah, totally!

Ok, so you know when you get in a bus and it makes that noise like it's the fastest vehicle on the road at the moment, when indeed it's the slowest? Yeah, I was in that kinda situation this morning; every other thing moving on the road, including people, was zooming past us. I kept checking the screen of my phone, I was so darn late! How on earth could I have gotten on board the slowest Marwa in the park today of all days?!

Tapping my feet, chewing on my lower lip - not paying attention to the fact that I was gradually licking up the gloss and lipstick on my lower lip, meaning I'll end up with glossless, shineless lips before noon which I hate because I don't carry make-up in my bag, ever! My eyes somehow wander to the rearview mirror (ok, I lied - they didn't just wander, I always look in all the eye-reachable mirrors on a car just to make sure I hadn't grown something that wasn't previously there on my face between the time I left home and 'presently')... so my eyes wander and those eyes! Bulgy, rotating eyes! Something like this:

Wait, wait... no, they weren't my eyes staring back at me. They belonged to that dude sitting beside the driver! Turned out he'd been staring at me for a while, long and hard. Scary, cold stares... kind of like saying 'I know what you did last night' (and I did nada last night, so I have no idea why he was staring like that!). Till we got to our destination, dude's zeal to stare in the mirror at me never wavered and that was downright creepy!

N.B.: Guys, staring like that isn't exactly pleasant! I can imagine the message you're trying to pass to the girl, but trust me, it only makes her uncomfortable!

Then, I finally get there! 'There' being where I was rushing to so I could secure a comfortable seat in case it was gonna be a long day. This fair chick comes and sits beside me. In my mind, "mirror, mirror in my head, who's the fairest of us two?" I was comparing her hands with mine, trying to figure out who was fairer in complexion... THEN it happened! Lolita opens her mouth and I had to do a double back! Twice! What?! Do you blame me? I needed space! You see, when Lolita talked, she talked with all her body - girl, just had to gesticulate so it was hard figuring out the source of the errr... aroma, body or mouth?

N.B.: Boys and girls, please take care of your MOs and BOs. It's also as unpleasant as staring!

Finally, I had urgent business to attend to later in the day, business I had to get in the rain for! Like some 45 minutes later, I was drenched to my... my... everything! It was time to go home, so I got in a bus. I was lucky to get the beside-the-driver seat, I needed the privacy... if only I knew! My eyes were closed all thru the journey, a thousand things going on and on in my head... I didn't know I had eyes on me, AGAIN! When I was close to my stop, I opened my eyes, and I discovered when the driver's eyes weren't on the road, they were on me! As I was about to get off his bus, he said "e be like say that rain beat you well well, I see as you relax since"... I rolled my eyes, and opened the door. Good riddance!

N.B.: Boys, do not openly rudely stare at a girl whose clothes are wetly clinging to her body! It is not nice!!! And don't pass dumb remarks too at the end. It's infuriating!

Have a creepy-free evening!
