On the bus coffee
Filed Under on the bus
Sitting at the front of the bus a guy sat down on the bench seat in front of me. He hangs his travel coffee mug over the handrail in front of me by its handle. I immediately envisaged the bus going over a bump and the mug swiveling over the rail and ending up upside down over my lap, if the top came off I’d be doused in some nice hot coffee.
Not likely to have happened by my mind just explored the possibility, if it did happen, two things would’ve happened. I would have screamed like a little girl and “whapped” the features of the guy’s face with the back of my hand.
Luckily, there was no screaming or “whapping”.

I would have done the same - sat and stared, running through the possible scenarios in my head, calculating the chances of my reflexes being cat-like enough to grab for and catch the falling mug and then giving the guy the stink-eye as I clutched his mug (possibly crushing it with my Hulk-strength).
Then, in reality, I would get distracted by something shiny and end up with hot coffee all over me.
I am happy to see others day dream about this kind of stuff…
I like to think it is being aware of my surroundings, helps me stay out of trouble.
Last time it helped I was on a crosswalk when I was hit by a Dodge Ram truck, luckily being aware meant I managed to almost get out of the way.
Chipped a bone in my hand rather than have the truck run right over me.
