I so wish that I had the imagination to create the bizarre scenes I witness on public transportation.
Earlier this evening, a mid-to-late 50's white gentleman with graying shoulder length hair and neatly cropped beard sat next to a 50-ish blind fellow. The long haired guy wore an old camel colored fedora, and a large yellow scarf worn fashionably by women of the same age group. As he sat with his legs crossed at the knee he fumbled with a Trader Joes bag, and eventually retrieved a large plastic container of dates. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a six inch switch blade. The blade glimmered a less than professional sharping. Dude stabbed dates one by one until he had his fill (roughy a dozen later). Everyone within view of him bore the same "WTF?" expression. Finished, he used his tongue as a napkin, and then politely interlocked his fingers over his knee.
*Oops, I almost forget the best part... He offered the blind man some of the dates. The man declined. Perverse me wanted him to say "yes," just so I could mark "Watching a blind man being fed dates with a switch blade" off of my bucket list.
