hope it wasn't *that* important
Hokay, so.
Got on my bus today (which was about 50 minutes late..the next bus actually overtook us because it didn't have to stop for passengers) with this other guy who had been waiting at the same stop as me. He sits next to a girl who he obviously knew, because they started chatting. I sat near the back of the bus.
Anyway, this girl was very loud, so the entire bus could inadvertently hear her conversation. She didn't sound like a ditz, but I spose in the end she certainly does nothing to quash the stereotype about blondes:
Girl - You're so lucky I could come out today. My mum told me to stay at home because she's expecting a really important phonecall from overseas and I need to take a message coz they won't call back. Anyway, I thought I may aswell just go out and enjoy myself, and in case the phone goes..well, i thought i'd bring it with me!
at this point she reaches into her bag and reveals a standard cordless phone.
I choked on my twix.
