Cam I Am

I’ve been doing this job for over eight years now. In that time, I’ve seen and heard some pretty bizarre things. Today, I am able to add to my collection of oddities.

I just finished disconnecting someone in an apartment building and was trying to get back out to the front of the building. Unfortunately, the only way I could find from the underground was through an emergency exit that lead to the back of the building. So, I start walking along the pathway that would eventually wrap around to the front. On his first floor balcony, there was this man holding a telephone conversation. Now, I wasn’t trying to listen to him as I walked by, but I could help but here him say: “You see, the problem is that my polar bear is being considered a captive alien species.”

I couldn’t help but look over at him with a confused look. He shot an angry look at me, but continued his conversation.

If he had said his dog, I wouldn’t have thought twice about it. But his POLAR BEAR???? WTF?

So, I continued along my way.. Confused about his statement.. I wasn’t trying to listen to his conversation, but you have to expect some reaction from a passerby if you make odd statements in a place that others can hear you..

I came across this Esso station tonight. All I could think was “So what?”
