me: This guy behind me on the ferry was on the phone the entire trip. At first it was just icky bec he called her and was all “I wanted to tell you you looked beautiful this morning,” and then he was like “No, I woke up for a minute and saw you leave, you had on a yellow top.” Then he went on about his sleeping habits and how he had had the most GLORIOUS NAP the day before, the best one in a long time. (Though obviously not glorious enough for him to wake up and say goodbye to her.) And then he said, “Yeah I guess, why dont you set something up in a few weeks.” It wasn’t clear if he meant he wasn’t going to even see her for a few weeks or if it was something he just didnt want to do, but either way: dicky. Which she obv pointed out bec then for like ten mins I heard:

“Stop being negative.”

“That’s the best I can do.”

“Now I dont want to talk to you.”

“I called you to tell you a nice thing, and now I’m getting this.”

“Im going to hang up if you keep up with this.”

“Dont get upset, getting upset is retarded.” <—-

THEN HE HUNG UP ON HER

Then like 5 mins later she called back and he said, with a big sigh, “I was just writing you an email. I don’t know how to react when you get this way.”

OH MY GOD.

kj: OH MY GOD mikki!
the thing is that its so real. so real. i have been in this! (maybe not even with the “you looked beautiful this morning” part)

me: I know! I KNOW TOTALLY it was like a newsreel from our past lives.

kj: hahahahahahahhaha
that is the exact right way to put it

we need to save that girl
girl! it doesnt have to be this way!

me: I posted it on Twitter! I was like “If the guy you are sleeping with called you from the East River Ferry today, dump him, we all heard it”

kj: omg

i am dying

me: GLORIOUS nap. Also “GETTING UPSET IS RETARDED.” I should have grabbed his phone and thrown it overboard.

kj: #feminist terror.
