It is always very interesting how people just go crazy when the first warm day of the year arrives.
That day also happened to be a day when I began work at 4pm rather than 5pm as I had been for a while, and I didn’t realize that all day until I got my standard work-app phone notice at 3pm that I began work in an hour and I saw it and I was like WTF and I had to run around and get ready in a rush so I could be out the door in time to catch the bus in, which was unusually packed and warm and stuffy and the people were so weird and talking loud on the phone and stuff, including one (middle-aged) (black) guy who turned out not to be talking on the phone at all, but rather talking to himself.
Then, when I sat outside on a park bench to kill ten minutes before I walk in and start work, and also when I’m working a bit later and am by the doors, you can just hear cars revving and speeding up and down the street, like they’re revving so loudly and speeding so much that the sound actually travels into the restaurant.
Like, people seriously lose it when the first warm weather hits, and it’s like, just get me home and out of this, since when people get like that, you just don’t know what the f*ck is going to happen, and you don’t want to be in the middle of it or out and exposed when some asshole runs his car through an intersection or turns around a corner at too high a speed and loses control of it and it goes onto the sidewalk or something like that.
Just better to be inside; once people get it out of their system, the other, later warm days will be calmer, better to wait for that to be out and enjoy the weather.
