What happened to free love, man?

Ok, so I’m on my way home and I stop by a 7-11 to get an ice cold Big Gulp, because in 20 degree weather I like to do stupid things like this.

I walk inside and oh me oh my, I see this cute as a button hippie girl, wearing one of those knit hats and arm length gloves, and just kind of looking adorable. I quickly got my Big Gulp and maneuvered in line next to her as she went to pay for smokes. She glanced over at me and I gave my usual toothy smile. She smiled back.

Then I happened to notice a very angry looking boyfriend standing next to her too. Whoa. I knew it was the boyfriend cuz he looked just as hippy, with out of control hair and the most pathetic excuse for a beard I’ve ever seen. I nodded at him and he just narrowed his eyes even more, you know, the way Superman might narrow his eyes when he’s using heat vision to bore into someone’s skull.

Yeah, ok. This girl was so cute though, so I just tried to steal a glance every now and then while pretending to check my watch, the wall or the male enhancement pills that were on the counter.

To be honest, I was kind of annoyed about it, especially when he put his arm around her as if just to make the point that she belonged to him, nana nana poo poo. Yeah go choke on your weed, schmuckbrain.

It turns out that I shouldn’t have gotten too upset over it, because once I walked out I noticed a car stuck in the middle of the parking lot. Hippie Boy had just blown a tire and was now frantically getting out a jack to get it fixed, while his darling angel stood there with crossed arms and an oh so satisfyingly disappointed look on her face.

I just broke out laughing, and continued to laaaaugh and laaaaaugh, all the way home. :-D
