Kate and I decided to go grab a beer at the (F)Artful Dodger up the block around 7:30, which we figured would take, at most, an hour. We ended up eating dinner there which somehow turned into an hour and a half ordeal. I blame the waitress and her not coming around often enough to see if we NEEDED THE CHECK DAMMIT. We were in a rush because I am taking the Bolt Bus up to NYC tonight so I can spend the night at my mom’s and attend my last calligraphy class in the morning. At 9pm, the waitress still hadn’t brought us our check. I needed to catch the 9:20 Septa bus so I could get to the Bolt Bus in time, so I threw my card down to let Kate take care of it and got out of there. Once back at the apartment, I had a little poo to take care of, a little Mister to say goodbye to, and a little more packing to do IN TWO MINUTES! By the time I was done, I had one minute to run to the Septa bus, and I did. Around 9:28 I realized I had either missed it or it was late, so I looked on my iPhone Google maps, found a subway train that was leaving in 10 minutes, and ran for a good 8 minutes to the nearest station. Once I found the entrance, I ran down the stairs while talking to Kate on the phone, only to slip, throw my phone across the steps, and shout “Fuck my ass!” (which was really hurtin’ from the fall). I made it down to the entrance, and watched my train speed away, as the subway worker said “No use in rushing now.” I told him I had a bus to NYC to catch, and we decided the best thing for me would be to spend $10 (instead of the free token Kate gave me, which I had already used anyway to get into the station and MISS THE FUCKING TRAIN AHHHH RRRHGHGHGHHH!H!!!!), to take a taxi to the Bolt Bus stop. Once there, the fare came out to $8.45, and he gave me $11 change out of $20. I told him he owed me 55 cents, because WTF?, and he said he didn’t have it. Did he think I wouldn’t notice? So dammit, I missed the bus, missed the subway, broke my ass and possibly computer and camera during the fall (okay, they’re fine, but I wasn’t sure they survived) and had to pay $10 I seriously don’t have + $3 because banks are the worst and charge too much to take out money. FUCK YOU BANKS, FUCK YOU BUS, FUCK YOU SUBWAY, FUCK YOU WAITRESS AT THE BAR, FUCK YOU SLIPPERY STEPS, and thank you Bolt Bus for having Wifi (not that it matters, I have my AT&T wireless card).
I just died laughing when I read that you shouted ‘fuck my ass’. Oh oh. I think I woke the kids up!
Haha yes, and there was a girl at the top of the steps who laughed too (not when I fell, but when I yelled!)
Also, let me add that it’s a good thing my iPhone is already cracked from three separate droppings, however, for a good ten minutes the little switch to turn it to vibrate wouldn’t work and that really upset me. It works now, hooray!
Holy CRAP what an ordeal! Your poor ass.
