Random Memory: What the BEEP?!
Yes, I am attempting to write daily blogs. I skipped yesterday due to sleepiness but tonight I shall try!
Blog entry will be rated: R?
TW: Mention of racism, swearing, awkwardness XD
I dunno what I'm doing, but here we go!
Figured I'd make a blog post about perspectives and friendships. In an odd setting. :v
It all started with my parking my car somewhere to take a break.
So, I went to this gas station once, back when I had a Mustang and while I was way into the store, I remember stopping to recall if I had locked my car door or not.
I was very scattered brained back then because I had 10000 things on my mind from running a new business and being nervous if it might fall through. So, I simply pulled out my car keys and pressed the "lock" button. I waited to hear it BEEP but no sound responded to the click. "Hmm... maybe I'm too far. I should probably get closer to the car..." I was on the other side of the store, where the coffee was. I push the button again to hear the beep. Nothing. Few steps closer. Click. Nothing. Few steps closer...
I come closer to the door. I click. Nothing. I'm confused cause the button is lighting up on my car keys but nothing is coming through in the sound. I approach closer still and press the button until I found myself standing in front of a gentleman who just walked in.
He was wearing a white tank top and big, bare muscles. He said to me, "Yo, is that your mustang outside?"
I was used to getting a lot of attention for that car, so this question was not so unusual. I just nodded and smiled, "Yeah, why?"
"YO, That is Fed up, man. That is SO Fed up!"
A lot of people would banter about my having a Mustang. Whether it was because they wished they had one or because I was a girl driving one. I wonder which one it was this time?
So I casually asked him, "Oh? What do you mean?"
Him: "I am literally the only black man out there standing around and I heard that thing beep like 15 times!"
It took my brain a moment to process this, but once it did -- I bursted out laughing SO HARD, I could barely explain what even happened. And he just stood there, arms folded across his chest as he tried to decipher my words through a serious laugh attack! Despite his stern pose, the corner of his lips were twitching as if he were attempting to stifle a smirk, but the sparkle in his eyes would betray him and he'd eventually start laughing too when he realised the derpy story was just some woman trying to figure something out....
We ended up becoming good friends! And to this day we chuckle at that ridiculous encounter.
It is so interesting to me how we, as a human species, live our lives through our own perspectives and sometimes those perspectives may seem to clash with the experiences and views of others. But it doesn't stop us from being friends or understanding what happened.
Life is absolutely ridiculous in all the best ways and I'm happy to share it with so many people who have their own interesting perspectives and stories.
Oh... and as a final conclusion to my story...
I suppose that is one way to find out that your car beeping works.
Goodnight, lovelies!
