Thirsty?

Thank you to the three young gentlemen on Portsdown Hill earlier today. You were most gracious in offering your Sprite to us - yes, we were thirsty, so thanks!

However it must be said that your manner of delivery was a little odd. While I admit we did hamper things by being in a moving vehicle, I was most impressed at your attempt to provide us with the beverage via an overhand lob and through the passenger window. Even more so as it was painfully apparent that all three of you were off your face at 10 in the morning.

I must also take this chance to apologise. The swearing which followed your kind offer was most uncalled for, and really not an appropriate way of displaying my gratitude. However, as you appeared to be making similar gestures to other nearby passing vehicles it is only a matter of time before something thanks you properly by, let's say, dooring you.

It's weird. Just a few days before I was talking with someone about how I don't think society is as bad as some people make it out to be. I've never been mugged, been knocked off my bike, had my house broken into etc., but then this happens.

I still don't think that society's that bad... but I am glad Sarah was driving. If it was me, I would have stopped the car, got out, and ended in hospital. I tried to get out as she drove away, damned central locking.
