During
the very cold weather recently, I was waiting for a bus to take me to the
nearby subway stop, and this one (early 40s) (black) woman had her shoulders
huddled up against the cold and no hat on and we started talking about public
transportation, and she told me how the other week when it had been cold too
there was this younger (white) couple and a random car pulled up and they were
going north and they offered her a ride.
“That’s
nice,” I was like. “Did you take it?”
“Hell
no,” she was like, “I watch the news, people go missing, I don’t have time for
that.”
Tben,
she added, “You think I’m that stupid? I
don’t have time for that, they could have gotten me and drove me off and done
something, hell, I’m just trying to go to work, I don't have time for that.”
Then, I
asked her what the driver looked like and she said she didn’t get a good look
at him, but his voice sounded old, but she still didn’t want to risk it.
I then
asked her what the young couple were like, and she was like, “I could’ve taken
her and fucked her up, but him, that’s a problem.”
