And yet another near-death experience

So yesterday, me and my family were having a nice lunch at the Pie in the Sky restaurant on Mount Dandenong.

I was sitting there, eating my food. As you do in a restaurant. This guy comes in. He's a big guy mind you. About a head taller than me, and he looked like he could bench press the whole room. With one arm.

Ok, so I looked at his girl. I mean, I look at everyone. He gives me an evil glare. So I turn my head and pretend not to notice.

By the way, he's one of those jerks that wear shades even when they're inside. Meaning no disrespect to any of you that do.

Actually, to hell with that. Why would you wear shades inside? You can't see a damned thing, and it's highly unnecessary.

Anyway, I turn my head away, just in case he decides that I'm challenging him or something, keeping him in view out of the corner of my eye. He keeps staring. So I grab my glass in my right hand and play with it a bit, and he finally decides to look away.

Seriously, how goddamn insecure do you have to be to want to rumble someone for looking at your girl?

Hence, my theory that people that wear shades when inside are a bit...strange has gained further impetus. However, I have noticed an upsurge in the numbers of such people. It may or may not coincide with the growing number of jerks in the world.

Word of the Day: Jerk
