Speechless

I left the house early to-day.
They were still hacking away downstairs, I was restless, and my craving for vege tempura had been prickling me for about 2 weeks now. (I decided to do something about it to-day. "Yes" I thought to myself. "To-day is a good day for vegetable tempura!")

As I waited for my bus, I'd finished off my ciggie and flicked it away towards a small drain. And out of the corner of my eye, I saw this person eyeing me. As I walked towards a seat, I saw this same woman walk in the direction of my ciggie butt. As she walked back (I was still eyeing her) she raised her hand to her mouth.

Could it be? HELL yes. My eyes weren't deceiving me! This woman had picked up my butt and was attempting to smoke it.


Oh. Good. Grief.

UPDATE :
In reply to a question from my WorkBuddy, this woman wasn't a tramp. She was amongst some other people waiting for the neary-by kindergarten to release the kids after school broke. Like WB said, "...takes all kinds!"
