you're walking down the street...

...and suddenly realise you're walking in the wrong
direction. do you:

(a) pivot 180 degrees on the spot without breaking stride
and immediately commence walking in the opposite direction;
(b) stand about for a bit waiting, and then set off back;
or
(c) check your watch or phone as if some new information has
just become apparent, pretend to be thinking for a second,
and then change direction?

i'm a (c) man myself... for some reason i think it makes me
look less of an idiot.

Hahaha, yeah that's exactly what I do. Of course, you could
just continue walking in the same direction, traverse the
entire globe and reach your destination when you come back
round, but I do not have the underwater walking capabilities
to do this.

I normally stop completely, put my hands in my pocket and
take them out again, and then I turn and walk.

C, unfortunately. It always make me feel like a geek. As if
the people on the street are going to tell all their friends
that they saw me pivoting.

I also act like I've got a combination of jacob kreutzfelt

yes, that's what's weird about it.

another example: you're waiting in line at a bus stop, say,
and you're absent-mindedly kicking something around on the
floor. you get a little too into it and trip over your own
feet, landing arse over tits in the gutter. (if you possess
tits; otherwise arse over, erm, neck)

now that's some embarassing shit isn't it? you would be
seriously embarassed... but why?? if you live in even a
small to moderate sized city, you will never see those
people ever again, and the chance of them recognising you
and publicising your shame is vanishingly tiny. but you
still care! why is that?

it's an especially clear proof that average human beings
react irrationally on a daily basis. (not exactly the only
one though!)

another thing (that I often do while waiting for the bus, or
something that is equally boring): beatboxing.

It starts off with "clicks," but before you know it it has
escalated to the state of full-scale drums + bass line, and
everyone is looking at you weird...

the city, but at least you wont look silly coz you wont to
have make pivots anymore.

beatboxing is fun, I like doing that while walking. At first
I went shy when people passed by and stopped it, but now I
don't care about those motherfuckkers and watch straight
into their scared eyes beatboxing.

HAHAHAHAHA!

I do the same most of the time.. on saturday, me and a few
friends were out on town, and when we were waiting for the
bus to come when we were going home, i started beatboxing..
they talked a bit, and then I beatboxed a rhythm to their
conversation. In the end, we were four people on some stairs
doing some "stomp-ish" thing with hand-claps and beatbox and
so-forth, and a crowd of drunk people waiting for the
nightbus were watching us.. we didn't give a fuck, 'cause
we're never going to see those fuckers again!

POWER TO THE BEATBOX!
