So this morning I come up out of the lower level of the GCT tunnels and I see this delivery man in cutoff green shorts. I notice this because it’s freezing outside, and I never understand people who wear shorts in the winter (no offense Garth). So I notice this guy and he has a black hat on that says “drink better water” on the back. I’m just noticing these things like I normally do when I people-watch, but this one turned out to be more interesting than normal.

Even though there is traffic speeding past, he pulls his heavily laden hand-truck into the closest lane, blocking traffic. He was clearly asking for some trouble, and that’s when other people started to watch as well. He specifically was blocking the way of a taxi (which is not good news) so the taxi started honking loudly and continuously. The taxi seizes the chance to pull into a farther lane and go around the delivery guy, and yells something out the window at him. The delivery guy yells something back and beats on the trunk of the taxi. The WALK sign is now ready for all of us non-adventurous pedestrians so we start crossing the street. The taxi stops, the driver gets out, the guy with the hand-truck leaves his stuff and runs over to the taxi and they start a fight. All kinds of names were thrown around and it was a fine display of jackassery.

The good news is a cute boy and I shared a moment of disdain for such behavior by saying at the same time “well good morning” and chuckling and smiling.
