Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:
It’s been several months since I’ve published messages from the Buffalo MC – it’s a bit of a quirky feed representing a city with a few large colleges and a post-apocalyptic industrial area. Lest you think it’s a feed not worth following, the lovelorn Buffalo-nians (??) can claim credit for one of my all-time favorite random weirdness messages – the infamous “Dirty Little Hamster.” That message, and the corresponding image, are downright unbelievable. Today, you’ll see a sampling of what happens in Buffalo…
Girl With the ‘Tude
Missed Connections in Buffalo, NY
Me: Just left for work. On my way to the drudgery of the office. Checking out the progress of the trendy new coffee shop getting ready to open (coming along great by the way) while I wait for the traffic light to change. I see you coming…
You: …walking down Parkside. Looking like you’re on quite the mission. Just as the light turns green and I prepare to turn you decide the most appropriate thing to do is flip me the bird and then keep walking.
I continue on my way to work. All the while I’m perplexed by events that transpired. I didn’t neglect any traffic laws nor did I make any comments, gestures, or faces to you – obscene or otherwise. I don’t recognize you so I doubt we have a history of bad behavior. I’m completely and utterly confused by your gesture. What made you do that? Were you having a bad day? Were you on your way to work, frustration building with your anticipation of the dreary day ahead, anxiety erupting with your need to flip off the first person you make eye contact with? Did you see me and think “Wow, he looks like someone that would really piss me off. I better give him the finger first and get it out of the way.” Its doubtful that I mistook you throwing up gang signs unless you’re part of the Pasty White North Buffalo Girls. Whatever your reason, you kept me guessing the whole drive in.
Maybe I’ll get lucky and you’ll see this post. You’ll be compelled to explain the nuances of your non-verbal communication. Maybe I’ll see you tomorrow and you’ll continue with the dactylology and keep me guessing. Whatever the case may be I hope your day gets better and you lose the ‘tude.
