Payback's a .....

Bestie J just reminded me of a funny story from many moons ago.  A few of us went to a fall wine festival.  In order to get there we took the metro and then a bus.  We left early in the morning and stayed there until the late afternoon.

We were excited to have a fun activity to fill up our weekend so we were laughing and giggling on the way there.  We rarely let something as silly as being in public stop us from being ourselves.
Never.  That means that we typically either entertain or annoy others folks in our proximity.  There was a girl on the bus ride who was not entertained by us or anything we had to say.  She was giving us some serious looks of judgement and bitchiness.

The festival was fun.  We drank.  We bought wine.  We bought snacks like these amazing home made potato chips and kettle corn.  I took what I'll refer to as a "power nap" for a while and was out of commission.  It was excellent.

Fast forward to the bus ride home.  Guess who was sitting in front of us?  The not-so-nice BI who was giving us looks earlier in the day. Guess who almost immediately got sick as soon as we sat down?  She did.   Guess who offered said BI napkins and water and sincere words of encouragement? We did.

By the time we left that bus she was loving us, and I know she was second guessing her original attitude toward us earlier in the day.   This story is a perfect example of payback being a BI.  Best watch yourself people!
