I was at a bar, sitting on a leather coach, on the 2nd floor. The guy next to me shat his pants. It was dark in there so I didn’t know until the bouncer came over, escorted him out then they came over with cleaner for the couch.

I’m sitting the far corner of a library doing homework. Library is EMPTY. Dude walks the length of the library and sits in the seat right next to me, like, chairs are touching. He then just sits there. Doesn’t look at his phone, doesn’t read a book, doesn’t even talk to me. I tried to wait him out but was so uncomfortable that I left after a few minutes.

In the morning in the train to work. Someone sat down next to me and ate in this order; a sandwich with peanut butter, one with chorizo, and one with blue cheese. Felt like breaking his nose, but he would probably set it back and start eating from it. So I moved to another seat.
