Old People Flirting in the FX

Well to be fair, they’re not really that old. Probably mid-40s. But that doesn’t change the fact that the situation I found myself in was extremely uncomfortable.

So I was at the back part of the Fx and I was sharing the 4-seater space with one woman. One particularly annoying woman. While I have nothing against singing out loud, I do that all the time, I was not in a good mood to tolerate a shrilly voice singing “Banal na aso! Santong kabayo! Natatawa ako HEE-HEE-HEE… SAYO!” People in the middle part and in the front part of the Fx were already looking at us because she was singing so loud. And get this, she was singing along the car radio and not through earphones or anything.

Then came two guys who looked like the classic Mario and Luigi pair. One of them was a bit chubby and the other was tall and lanky. The woman stopped singing as the two guys started talking. I could just assume that she was listening to their conversation because she was staring a little too blatantly at the guys who were talking. I really didn’t care but my ears tuned in to their conversation when I heard the words “Matador and Black Label” They were apparently on their way to an inuman session which reminded me that I was also supposed to go to an inuman session too if it weren’t for the fact that I was completely and utterly broke. (sob) Then Kailan by the Eraserheads started playing on the radio. The chubby guy, hereafter referred to as Mario, sang along with it. To be honest, Mario had a really good voice.

Then the next song that came after Kailan was Beer by Itchyworms. And to my surprise, the annoying woman started singing along with Mario. So yes, they were singing in a duet. Fuck. I could see the woman look away, trying to act cool and have that “I-don’t-care” look in her stupid face. It was annoying I swear. Call me a bitch but she was annoying. She was an old woman na lumalandi in fucking public. Then Luigi took out his cellphone (for the nth time) and was texting like crazy. You know what the woman did? She took out her cellphone and brandished it for everyone to see. She was waving it around and putting it on her ear, then looking at it as if she’s calling someone. How can I tell that she was faking it? I just know. Okay? She was faking it!

Then the music changed and “Bato sa Buhangin” or something like that played. When Mario began singing it, Luigi teased him about being broken-hearted. The woman suppressed a giggle. I swear her face was fucking annoying. She was smiling and looking at Mario and Luigi while covering her mouth. ARGH.

When it was time for the woman to get off, Mario and Luigi moved sideways so she can pass. Then as she was getting off, Mario placed his hand on her back and held her elbow. Luigi let out a “babai” and waved at her. The woman looked back and smiled that stupid smile.

I’m sorry if I’m being unreasonable here, I just don’t like it when complete strangers who are old enough to be my mother and my father are flirting in front of me and in a fucking Fx.
