TODAY'S BIG NEWS STORY - not for the weak of stomach!
So...I was drinking some grape juice this morning cause it tasted SOOO good and I was feeling great! I even thought "wow, I haven't felt even a little nauseous in a few days now...the worst must be over!"
Well you can imagine where this is going.
I got on the train, and I sat in my usual spot...upper deck has single seating so you don't have to sit next to any fat guy with a body odour issue. So I'm listening to my Ipod...rocking out to Catherine Wheel when I start feeling a bit queasy. The train was pretty bumpy today. I figured I'd be ok when I hit fresh air. But then it started getting worse. So I reached into my purse and got out a Tums and started a mantra of "I will not puke, I will not puke" My mantra was not working.
Apparently the parasite did not enjoy the grape juice as much as I did.
It became clear I was in fact going to puke and I looked around to see how I could do this without causing a mass puking epidemic on the train. I realized I was trapped upstairs. The stairs of the train were blocked with people and every seat was taken so yay, maximum exposure!
I reached into my backpack where I've been keeping plastic bags 'just in case' and I pulled a bag out. I crouched as low into the seat as I could and I puked into the bag...which of course had a hole in it. Great, grape juice everywhere.
Mortified I looked around the train at my fellow passengers. No one even looked up at me. I couldn't believe it. It was like it never happened! Which of course, cause I can be such a woman sometimes, pissed me off. What the hell, I could be dying over here!!
At any rate, I smell a bit like spit up grape juice and will for the rest of the day since I live 2 hours away from the office. Unless I can't stand it anymore and decide to go visit the Gap...which I probably will.
Thought I'd share!!!
Hope you're feelin' better now! :D
Yah, isn't people's apathy just amazing sometimes? I was in the parking lot of a grocery store awhile back, and some guy was being a complete crap bag to this kid...the kid was screaming and crying at the top of his lungs, and the guy locked him out of the car and started driving away. The kid was running next to the car, and could have been hurt. People didn't even LOOK to see what was going on. The guy finally stopped when I headed that direction...he parked, put the kid in the car, then hurried back into the car and drove away before I got there. WTF, seriously? The incident really didn't help my lack of faith in humanity...
Um, that was a long rant. Hehe...
Puking sux. I would rather lay in bed feeling sick all day then vomit. I hate puking that bad. Sorry to hear your day started out so bad Ruthie. :( Damn the man, go to the Gap, then just call in and go back home. You should have launched the puke bag into the seats like a water baloon. I bet you would have gotten some attention then. :)
Haha a friend told me the same thing. He said I should throw it at the nearest person and yell "BET YOU NOTICE NOW BITCH!"
When I was in middle school, I would go with my friend and her parents to summer camp (her dad served as the doctor for the camp for 2 weeks out fo the summer). I went horseback riding, and my horse just stopped moving, and then rolled over on me. How I managed to kick my feet out of the stirrups and jump out of the way in time I'll never know, but I managed to get out of the way of his kicking feet, and was safe. I was perfectly ok. A councelor noticed what happened and ran over to me, and as soon as she said, "OMG ARE YOU OK??" I started sobbing and shaking like a baby.
I think, Gil, that what happened did not go unnoticed, but that people felt they would avoid your embarrassment and not draw attention to it, or make a big fuss. Like when someone farts really loud in public. People tend to studiously avoid looking at the culprit and pretend it didn't happen.
While I agree that common courtesy should dictate that they at least ask if you need assistance, my theory is that they didn't to avoid embarrassing you.
As far as the story about the kid and the car - I am a horrible person but I laughed, and felt vindicated. Please do not think that I believe child abuse is funny, but I *HATE* it that kids can get away with murder these days. Literally. Though the method of punishment was a bit cruel, at least there was punishment.
I pray I never have children. =( I will make one rotten mom. =(
But WTF THE GAP HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GUESS FOR THE WIN
but on the other note! /comfort hopefully you dont puke out of your nose, it woulda made it a tad bit worse than possible!
:(

The plus is I can always whine for boobie rubs and I never get any complaints for some reason ;)
