Couldn't believe what I saw today. These three Marina girls were sitting near me at lunch, laughing and having a good time. Being kinda loud. This guy walks by and starts talking to them ~ sez one of the girls is his future wife. He talks and talks about the kids they will have, the job he's going to get to support them ~ and as he talks the girls start to talk back, responding to him and encouraging him.
As the conversation escalates I look up and notice the guy is waving a tin foil pipe around, his clothes are filthy, he's unshaven, and completely out of his mind. He starts talking loudly about the speed he has in his pocket. And these idiotic, shallow little girls are giggling wildly and enjoying teasing him!
It made me so fucking mad I can't even tell you. Man I've definitely been through heavy drinking and drugs in my day, and I have a lot of sympathy for people who are lost in using 'cause they're in a lot of pain. I've seen plenty of trouble and felt terrible pain too.
That guy was so obviously sick and these girls were getting off on teasing him for his illness. I wish they could've seen themselves the way I saw them. I wish people could wake up to what they're doing when they treat an addict or alcoholic that way.
Just cut it out.
