so, things on earth are not quite so great right now. i've noticed a general ratcheting up in the already tense atmosphere since "the market" etc etc and just a steady stream of things like: i'm stepping into a crosswalk, guy doesn't look at all -- or more likely, saw me and decided to pretend i didn't exist -- coasts through a stop sign at 25, slowing down from 40 to look, only then does he see me, yeah, you suck buddy, you heard me. i don't give a fuck if you're late for work. just leave earlier. that people do this crap all. the. time. now
but then, five minutes later, man and dog approaching. some people are still covid-paranoid, and, well, that's a large dog, and that's a lot of man too. so i pick a convenient spot and stand aside. the man is portly with long hair, long bangs, greying, glasses, eyes fixated on the ground. the eyes fixated on the ground thing, i get like this, cool, no worries, i just let him walk by and stare at the ground. as he's just past, the dog turns back and wants to say hullo. i smile and kind of chuckle, like, oh, dogs, no big deal. he tugs the dog and keeps going.
but then, i dunno, i turn around, and the dog pullls back to me just then, like, hey, where are you going?
and the guy, like... i didn't see he basically had a giant neon green rope around the dog's neck, and he's all NO dfjhkgdf and practically picks the dog up and whips it around a bit.
that it was a big dog, maybe he bites... but, no, i have zero problem reading dogs, he just wanted to say hullo. so i don't think this was a "bitey dog" issue of, like, that was necessary. even if he was a bitey dog, that was just... wow. i was kind of stunned and i just turned around and kept walking.
then i thought: yeah, actually, that guy does look like a psycho. kind of like a dark-haired jeffrey dalmer. i'll be keeping an eye out for him
