Watch the smell…
I had the worst headache at work, and was spotted continually rubbing my neck while on a video conference call with my co-worker now based in NY (damn those web cams). So, I ran over a few blocks away to Bed Bath & Beyond to get some tylenol. Some areas of SOMA are actually a bit sketchy, and there was a guy with a bucket splashing water from a puddle all over the place but I couldn’t be bothered as I was on a mission. But as I walked by he politely said “watch the smell! someone went to the bathroom… disgusting!” And he was right. It reeked of human shit, piled high in the gutter and somewhat smeared on the tire of a truck. I was already feeling nauseous because of my headache, but this just about made me puke right there. Morettis are known to have weak stomachs. But I kept thinking what a nice guy, warning me about the upcoming smell and taking the liberty to wash away the human fecal matter with rain water and a bucket. But it seemed so odd it make me think what the hell was going on. Was it him that took the shit? Then I thought about the person who owned the truck. Could you imagine coming back to your car and feeling crazy because you swear you smell shit nearby, and swear that there’s watering down shit smeared on your tire, but no clear evidence confirming these suspicions… Just writing this post makes me gag a little bit.
