Obviously they were green or I wouldn't be posting this, but it's a bit scary.

That happens to me all the damn time, like my subconscious will be recognizing what needs to be done but I won't recognize it on a conscientious level. I remember back in grade school I'd be riding the school bus, and suddenly out of the blue get all alert of my surroundings and scared for a second that I had stopped paying attention and missed my stop. But I never actually did, it just felt like I was tuning into my surroundings for the first time. Good to hear someone else has that same "problem"

I think it's funny how much people swing their arms when they walk. The first time I ever thought about this I was walking through downtown Chicago one morning on my way to work (no doubt swinging my arms). I suddenly was acutely aware that the hundreds of people around me were all swinging their arms like crazy as they walked and it struck me how hilarious it looks. We're really kind of a ridiculous animal when you think about it.

I used to notice this myself and get paranoid about how ridiculous my arm swinging motion was. Then I realized that no one else notices and you look more ridiculous not letting them naturally follow their plane of motion.

And yes, we're ridiculous. I find it so painfully obvious to see our actions don't separate us from other animals that much by just observing human behavior throughout the day.

I think thanks is a politeness that should be exercised when the situation requires it. I also hate when someone's running for the bus "Wait! Don't leave! Hold on! PUFF PUFF PUFF!" and the driver holds the bus. I can count the number of times people have NOT passed the driver by without even a "thanks mate!" on the fingers of one finger. Really, if that's not rude I don't know what is. It drives me mad!

The guy didn't have to hold the bus for you, you know. YOU were late. He was paying you a courtesy, being nice by making sure you got the bus and you don't even thank him when you get on! Rude ****.

Analyse that! I'm angry on behalf of someone else for a third party's lack of manners!
