the hate bond is the strongest

this morning, wearing my headphones (silent signal to strangers that i want to be left alone) and walking to work from union station, a fellow pedestrian and i were cut off by a jackass in a silver sports car.

i shook my head with disgust. above the buzz of my headphones, i heard her grumpily mutter, "asshole." i looked at her and we shared mutual looks of disdain for said asshole. she said, "i hate people! they're unnecessarily RUDE." i shook my head in agreement. two random, cynical strangers whose paths crossed somewhere on alameda street, we experienced a powerful shared moment of bonding before i dashed across the street to catch the green signal.
