Only in my world

I can’t believe it has taken me this long to write about this…

Two weeks ago I went on yet another business trip.  This one was a little unlike the others because I had to add a trip to the corporate office last minute in addition to my normal sales calls.  My boss had me rearrange my travel so I could attend a meeting (that could have very easily been taken care of over the phone.)  After I did all that, it turned out my flight was cancelled…blah blah blah insert travel woes here, and I didn’t arrived to our office until 5pm that day, 5 hours after I was supposed to get there.  So plan B was to go back to the office the next morning to have this meeting…which still never happened. 

OK, so assume I am slightly pissed that I had to rearrange everything to make this meeting that never happened.  I finally decided at around 2pm I am going to leave so I can make it to my hotel and make one call in a reasonable time.  The hotel should have been about 2 hours away but what I didn’t know was that I would have to drive through some random part of Manhattan (during rush hour) to get to my destination on Long Island.  Well, I say it was Manhattan but really I have no idea, there were so many bridges, tunnels, and traffic that I was utterly lost.  Thank goodness for GPS.

Anyway, as I am making my way through rush hour traffic trying my hardest not to run over any pedestrians I come to a stop at a stop light.  I look around to take in the sights and OH MY GOD there is a penis!  Yep, there is a man standing next to me with his ding-a-ling hanging out. 

My conversation with myself: “OK, stay calm, you’re in NYC these things happen…you see this occasionally in Chicago.  I am sure he is just peeing.  Check back to make sure he is peeing…he probably just really has to go.” So I look back at him.  “NOPE! NOT PEEING!”

It’s official people, I was flashed.  He was smiling at me and doing other lovely things I will refrain from writing.  I immediately looked away in disgust and prayed that the cops were still only 1 car behind me, which of course they weren’t.

So there you go friends.  The last time I was there I was robbed, this time I was flashed.  I can only imagine what will happen the next time I am there.
