Did he just say what I think he said?
- by Pixel
I walk around campus a lot. It’s been a habit of mine ever since grade school. If I’m not hanging out with my friends, I walk around looking for friends. Sometimes I spend half an hour going over the same haunts, hoping to find people I know.
It sounds sad, but it isn’t.
I enjoy listening to people talk around me. Not entire conversations, but fun snippets of conversations. There’s something fantastic about not knowing what was said before and what will be said after.
I especially love it when people say something that will make me do a double take (and I don’t double take easily):
“I could have been six-foot four, but I’m not.”
I enjoy these snippets. They’re fantastic for me. But most of the time people say boring things and I just keep walking.
That’s the reason that, when I’m talking with my friends and I see somebody walk by, I try to say move up to the oddest point in the conversation just as the person walks by. Yesterday it was “which penis would you choke on?” Today it might be something dirty. Tomorrow it could be a holocaust joke. Who knows?
The aim of the game is to make people do double takes. The person that gets the most in one day wins. So far I’ve always won as I’ve never shared the aim of the game with anybody.
People just think I naturally talk louder when people approach.
