Would be nice if it was "Feierowend" already...

Sitting on the bench at a bus station, a guy comes up, greets me and sits next to me:

Him: Hi!
Me: Hi! (Look away, hoping to avoid further contact.)
Him: Would be nice if it was "Feierowend" already... ("Feierowend" means the end of a day of work.)
Me, looking at him to make sure he was speaking to me, and since he was:
Yeah, true... (Didn't want to tell him that I'm actually not working at the moment, so it's "Feierowend" for me all the time.)
Him: It's tough as a bus driver...
Me, trying not to be a bitch: Ah... Don't you work eight hours as other people?
Him: Not at all! We work twelve hours! I work from 10 to 22! Of course, we have three hours break inbetween, but what can one do with that?
Me: Ah yes, there's no time to go home, for example... (Making a face to show my compassion for him. Humour the potential crazies, I say. In the meantime the bus arrives and I stand up.)
Him, following: No wonder one is not able to keep a girlfriend in those conditions...
(Me, at this point already heading for the door, hoping that he won't follow, and starting to understand that he was actually trying to hit on me.)
Him, continuing: ...nobody wants a relationship like that!
Luckily, bus drivers in Luxembourg know each other, so as I walk away the guy stays at the front, speaking to the driver.

As I disappear to the back of the bus I hear him saying: Would be nice if it was "Feierowend" already...

Airing my boobs...

Sitting at the terrasse of a cafe with an old childhood friend, what is more natural than to see a woman go by with an open shirt and no bra? The weather was great, so maybe she was just airing her boobs?

Ground control to Major Tom

I wonder what the Sartorialist would have to say at the sight of a guy wearing silver spandex pants anywhere else than at a sci-fi space party, let alone in broad daylight in one of the busiest parts of Prague, and at one of the busiest times of the day...

My Baby, My Doggy

Sitting in a restaurant, you notice that there is a baby carriage standing outside, alone, looking stranded. At first glance, you think it's just empty, waiting for its occupant with its mommy. When you look closer, however, you discover there actually is a baby inside.
Your first impulse is to look outside for the mother, see if she might be standing at a reasonable distance of the baby, maybe smoking and not wanting the smoke to get to the child.
When you realise that there is no soul in the near proximity of the baby carriage, and knowing full well that it is very cold outside, you start thinking about rescuing the child and taking it to the authorities.
Before taking any rash action, however, you turn to a woman who is sitting by the window in front of the baby.
- The baby outside, it's alone... Did you see anything?
The woman, who is quietly reading a book with a latte next to her, looks up and says in the most natural way in the world:
- Yes, it's my baby.
OMG!

Career plans

- I'm going to start studying again, how do you call it, social psychology? I wanna work in HR, because they are all bitches in HR.
- Why?!? You want to be a bitch, too?!?...
- I wanna work in HR because I want to make it easier for people when they come to search for work. It is hard for them, and like that they won't have a mean person in front of them. They will be greeted with a big smile!
