Punter

“I bet on a horse called Fresh Prince today and it won.  But luckily I didn’t see that in the same race there was a horse called McLovin. “

Overheard Parklife Music Festival, Melbourne.

Sexbomb

Despite how little of her there actually was, that raw sensuous sex appeal that oozes powerfully from a select few projected likewise from her tiny frame.  Impossible to place her age from one minute to the next.  Her sex appeal and the inherant confidence that comes of  never having need of validation would bring it up. Then a naive comment would slip out making it teeter and fall once again.

Spectator

“I’ve never seen so many grown men crying”

Overheard post AFL Grand Final

Closed Book

Tight lipped, rigid and immovable, there was no breaking through to her – or was there nothing to break through to?  Her frumpiness was accentuated by bad posture and body language that screamed discomfort.  Not what you’d expect of a personal trainer.

“Charlie, don’t lick the window.”

Overheard 96 Tram, Nicholson St. Melbourne.

Dyslexic

I used to have this manager who was so dyslexic but unaware of it.  She used to write notes about getting more “grabage bags”.  She’d ask me to restock the “BV” instead of VB.  She somehow got it into her head that my simple name of Hannah had obscure spelling and was actually, ” Hanaha” which she had  my name tag made up as.  And when I asked for a new name tag because it was mispelled, she came back with “Hannaha.”
