Angry Spaghetti Woman
The other day I witnessed the strangest thing on the 405 freeway. A woman in the lane next to me was eating spaghetti out of a bowl with a fork while driving. And when I say bowl, I don't mean something plastic like Tupperware, I mean an actual glass bowl, and a metal fork. I don't know why I found this to be so odd, but I was strangely fascinated. I mean who brings spaghetti in a nice dish in the car with them, and then attempts to eat it while driving 60 mph? I began thinking about what kind of home this woman might live in, I immediately assumed it would be messy. Maybe a crappy nondescript apartment in Van Nuys. And I bet she lives alone, I doubt she even has a cat, although she certainly looked the part. This woman appeared to be in her mid 40's, and she was very plain looking. She also appeared angry while eating her spaghetti, which I found to be even stranger! You would think that she would at least be enjoying the spaghetti that she made, but no, this woman was not happy. She was an angry, spaghetti eating while driving woman, and I will never forget her.

Maybe just as she lifted her fork to dig into her large glass bowl of yum spaghetti her phone rings which forces her into her car and away from the dinner table. But the call isn't an emergency just her on again/off again boyfriend who can't be bothered to take the bus and needs a lift home from work at let's say the mines. She thinks "Fuck it, I'll just eat in the car, this spaghetti won't get any better colder." Little did she know the reaction it would cause or that neighboring cars would be judging her cleanliness and cat owning abilities.
ReplyDeleteWow Martha...quite an assesment! But like I said, this woman probably doesn't have a cat, and she certainly doesn't have a boyfriend!!
