Yesterday, while coming home from work, I was in a joyous mood. I guess since it was a Friday, I was just looking forward to this weekend, which so far is boring as nothing fun has happened! No one wants to do anything! Hopefully tomorrow (Sunday) it will be better!!! But what a wasted Saturday.
Anyway, so while coming back home, I turned up my stereo enjoying the mood with some good music. I was really into it....lost into it.
Well at a stop signal, I was waiting for the signal to turn green. Some signals just take forever to go green, so the wait was just that. I looked to my left with a smile on my face, head nodding to the music, singing to the lyrics, to see a middle-aged couple in a mini van staring at me with a stern look on their face. I nodded my head in acknowledgement with a smile, and turned back to look ahead.
The signal was still red. But the song in my car stereo was keeping me happy. Who cares? I can sit here for some time. I again peered to the left. Much to my chagrin, the same couple was still staring at me, looking at me like I was some criminal.
I started to think, what the heck was their problem? Why were they staring at me? It's not like they haven't seen brown people before is it? What was it???
So I decided to look at the couple again this time turning my radio volume down as I was making a call on my cell phone. The couple smiled, and gave me a thumbs up. The person behind me started honking, letting me know that the signal had turned green.
As I took a right turn, a few yards down I saw a sign for the township I was in stating, "Loud Noise Ordinance. Fines for Violators..."
I had realized why the couple was staring at me.
