The Rav4 Owner: While being your flirty self, you’ll meet someone this week. They will end up being a jerk.

January 26th, 2010, 1:37 am

on my way home around midnight, i was on my bike in the left turn lane on bloor at avenue. a lady (25 maybe?) in a rav4 or something stops in the middle lane, rolls down her window, and starts chatting to me about “aren’t you scared to ride a bike downtown, i’m scared to even drive, bla bla bla”. we talk for a little, and then this happens:
her: “what sign are you?”
me: “what? that doesn’t matter.”
her: “are you a gemeni?” (my ’sign’ is cancer)
me: “it doesn’t mean anything, do you seriously believe in astrology?”
her, surprised: “it means EVERYTHING!”
me: “well you’re dumb, astrology is superstitious nonsense”

the light turned green and i made my turn as she yelled new-age epithets at me (i couldn’t actually understand her, it just sounded mad). it frustrates me to see and hear so many people that take horoscopes at face value (or any value), so this was a very satisfying interaction.

    “that doesn’t matter”
    I stopped reading after this point, challenged myself to write down how the rest of the situation would play out on a piece of card. I then read the rest of the post and compared. 98% match.
