In one of the local shops I always see the people working giving any dogs left inside by the door lots of fuss, so I asked someone working if that was a perk of the job and they said yes. Though they are allergic to dogs, but refuse to not be a part of it, so they instead just wash their hands immediately. I asked them if they’d had a favourite dog that had been in and he told me with both delight that I'd asked, but also confusion on why this man was asking him this. His favourite was one that looked like an old brush, but he didn’t know what dog breeds were what. He has a cat called spider.

Saw a very drunk man talking to a wall and as we continued our conversation he walked past us and said “Come on you cheeky bastards!!“ at us. Then he crossed the road and stared at us. When we passed him, he said it again and we laughed. Then he began to follow us while chanting it. Then shouted ‘KILL YOURSELVES YOU CHEEKY BASTARDS‘. Was daytime and a busy street, so not threatening - just really really absurd.

A girl in cafe had a laugh that sounded like a clown machinegun

Saw a man enter cafe and walk to the counter that I would describe as unnecessarily sexy, as time and everyone around him seemed to stop. He had the sort of swagger usually only reserved for overly confident Australian men

Waitress referred to non gluten free bread as the normal bread, then when she and us laughed at this - she continued to refer to gluten free bread as ‘the unusual bread‘

Man working behind tills at health food shop was able to identify baked goods (focaccia) through paper bag without looking at it

Woman came into cafe holding multiple bags of vacuums and moving around with a demented intensity. As I watched her leave she turned back and gave me a menacing yet seductive glare.

Most depressed train announcement I've ever heard. “Well…. This terminates at Hastings… Apparently“ followed by a long sigh.

Child did not once break eye contact with me across a cafe

Saw a dog dance on hind legs for much longer than I anticipated

Someone was using a hose and on first glance thought they were wrestling a giant rat

Mistook a broom for a dog. I think I'm undergoing some kind of animal related psychosis?

Got stopped by a girl half my age who asked about my outfit. She said she loves men dressed as ‘old fashioned gentlemen‘. I don’t know whether she was calling me old, or a suggesting I was a bit of a ‘character‘.

“Are you tripping balls Kiki?“ then “One fang sticking out” a woman on a train was saying to what I assume, and hope - is a strange looking child.

Saw woman wearing an outdoorsy style jacket, but the back was an entirely rhinestoned portrait of 3 tigers. Very classy.

Child smiling and throwing coins at a homeless woman like she was a busker

“I try not to get any falafel“ said a man leaving a shop called we love falafel, while holding falafel
