Public Transportation

I have been riding public transportation now for 3 months and I must say it is very interesting. I have always drove to work because I lived in the city and often worked in the suburbs. I get to see all types of characters each day and some of them I get to see everyday. I can not believe the number of people who are talking loudly on the cellphones at 7:00 AM in the morning. Do they really think everyone on the trains wants to hear their conversation? I also like the ones who put their bags in the seat so that no one can sit next to them. The most interesting person I seen on the train so far was a guy who got on the train and was walking and talking as if he was a lady. "Hey girl, I just came from my baby's daddy house." "Are you coming to my wedding? "Girl ,because we are wearing lavender."  "Why didn't you come to by baby shower?" "Why are all these people on the train looking at me crazy?" I believe he wanted the attention, why else would he get on the train talking so everyone could hear him. I wonder who and what will I see next week? I must stay these characters keep me entertained on my way to and from work.

My Father

I can not believe that my father has been on his way to my house since August 28, to bring me my birthday gift. I ask myself why do I even deal with him. He continues to lie for no reason. I am 35 years old and have grown out of expecting to get something for my birthday from my parents. Although, I was surprised that my mother took me out to dinner. My father called me at 6:30 in the morning on August 26 to wish me a happy or late birthday. My birthday is on August 28. It's a shame he can never remember my exact birthday especially since I am the oldest and his other daughter's birthday is four days before mine. Why does he keep calling to tell me he is on his way but never shows up. I only deal with him because of the fact that he is my father. I don't need this kind of aggravation at my age. What are some suggestions on how I should deal with him?

Strangers

Is it a requirement to be nice to strangers? I was leaving work one day and as I walked out of the building it started to rain. It was a heavy down pour. I took my umbrella from my purse and opened it up and continued walking down the stairs to my car. Before I made it to the last step I had a stranger under my umbrella asking if I could walk him to the cab stand. "Wow!", I thought to myself. It's not like I had a choice since he was already under my umbrella and the rain was really coming down. I politely walked the stranger to the cab stand and I even waited for another cab to pull up because someone had jumped in the cab he was walking to. At least before he got in the cab he introduced himself and stated that I was a good American. Was I really?  He had me thinking what if I had tried that? Would the stranger be as nice as I was? But again I was taught to treat people like you want to be treated. Is all about reaping what you sow.
