Idiosyncrasies

We all have them. Odd litle personality quirks that can be sweet, annoying or just rather odd.

They can manifest themselves in any kind of behaviour, as I tend to notice with people in the drama group. Jeremy, for instance, has a tendency to blurt out random Metallica lyrics right at your face (so you can't escape, I presume). They aren't full songs thankfully, but are still rather off-putting.

Steve can make anything sound rude, even if he's just asking for the time of day.

Me, I have a biggie which bugs me almost every day. Well, I don't know if it's an idiosyncrasy as such or just a mild obsession. Either way, I just can't understand why it managed to get so big ^_^; (In a very innocent way [Copywrite Mimmi 2004])

It's not a bad thing as such- it doesn't actually hurt anyone, nor does it annoy them. It's mostly internal. But anyway, it's not even my fault. It's this man-thing that works at the college. For the purposes of this exercise, I'll call him Guy-That-Smokes.

Now, as you might have guessed, the main thing about Guy-That-Smokes is that he smokes. And at the beginning of the course I often ended up walking behind him from the train station across to the college, which is the best part of a mile. I don't mind smokers as such, just so long as I don't get smoked at. And there are very few cigarrette smokes that I can handle anyway; his is not one of those. So for a while I had the inconvenience of having to walk whilst breathing in second-hand smoke from this guy's Superking brand lung-killers.

So some while later I devised a strategy. I would sit further up the train so I'd be able to get off the train before he does and hence speed away smoke-free. Problem is, this train's pretty crowded and people like sitting where Guy-That-Smokes does, because it's nearest the station exit. Bastards.

But anyway, I end up trying to overtake him on that station or in the big open room which has the ticket offices in it- he always lights up outside. I'm pleased if I can because it means I don't have to spend what should be a relaxing walk trying not to breathe.

I get very uptight if I miss overtaking him in time. There is another route to the college but it's been blocked off until recently due to building work.

This in itself might not sound too bad, but in my head I'm thinking "Get away from me, you bastard! Light that up and I'll kill you." Thankfully I never do, but it tends to happen with other people too, usually schoolboys younger than I am who insist on ejecting phlegm left, right and center.

I imagine this scenario will break out one day when I decide to walk the other way:

Me: *overtakes Guy-That-Smokes and zips down other path* Hah! You weren't expecting that, were you! Haha! You and your cigarretes, they make me sick! But you won't get me today baldie! Mwahaha! *runs off cackling*

Guy-That-Smokes: o_o; *smoke smoke*

He's ugly too.
