Complements & Robberies
An American guy passing by me on the street told me I had amazing hair. I smiled because I thought if I were in Kuwait and that same complement happened... Well, it just wouldn't, or he would be in deep trouble.
I am embarrassed. I found out this afternoon that the backpack I bought a month still had the security tag on it. Now what will these foreigners say about me? "She steals bags!" they will say. I rushed back tot he bookstore, explained my situation to the cashier and showed him my receipt, he replied "Oh, you came here to remove the tag?" No, I just came here because I have nothing better to do with my life. Well, he eventually removed it, and I kept my side-eyed comment to myself.
On Sept. 28th, a woman was robbed by a man. she was walking through the parking lost she felt a hard pull on her purse which was on her shoulder. As she turned around, the robber reached around her and grabbed her from behind. She struggled to get away, the purse came free from her arm and it fell to the ground. The robber let go of her, took the bag, and then they both fought over the bag! Robber won, and ran off with the purse. The robber was tall, black outfit, and had a mask on, guess he just got back from his Eskimo trip. I feel so bad for the robbed victim, I hope she finds the strength to be strong. The news showed another girls apartment burned to flame and dust near campus. She had to stay with her friends because she is kind of homeless now. She does not have clothes, makeup, pictures, books, pillows, toothpaste. I hope she can find the strength to be strong, too.
I hear some yelling outside, the not-nice-kind. Usually my nosiness will take me straight outside and see what is going on. Not tonight, I am exhausted. IS that how bad things happen? When people are too exhausted to be advocates? Well, there is a first for everything.
