Since I usually go home during rush hour, I always spend minutes and
minutes of standing in a VERY, VERY long line just to ride a jeepney.
So to kill the boredom, I always entertain myself. I read a book. I
tweet. I listen to music.
But there is one thing that I really don’t understand. Since as I
said it’s a LONG line so it means there’s A LOT of people standing next
or in front of me. WHY do people keep on asking ME? Yes, ME! Out of all
the people in line, it’s me that they always choose to ask if the line
is going to Pateros.
Ok here’s my usual scenario: I have my headset plugged on both ears.
My head is always bow down because I am reading a book. So if you
imagine it, even from a far you would recognize that I am sort of BUSY.
And then here they come, they would stop in front of me and then ask
the question, “Miss, pa-Pateros?” or “Miss, anong pila?”. Since my head
is bow down, reading my book, I am really not aware who they are
actually talking too. So I just continue what I am doing and then after
few seconds I would realize that nobody answers back. And whenever I
look up, they are actually looking at me and waiting for my response.
Sometimes, I wanted to answer them, “Seriously? You are talking to me? You are asking me?”
It’s not that I don’t want to be ask but c’mon if there’s a lot of people, why can’t they ask them. Why me?
WHY???
