Subway Scene

This morning in the crowded Clark & Lake subway station (which is underneath the Thompson Center), this is what took place:

Bing Bong (announcement begins over the speaker) “Customer service is needed at the Thompson Center kiosk.”

Homelessey-looking man (yelling) “What the f**k is a kiosk!”

. . . pause . . .

Bing Bong . . . “Customer service is needed at the Thompson Center kiosk.”

“What the f**k is a kiosk!”

. . . pause . . .

Bing Bong . . . “Customer service is needed at the Thompson Center kiosk.”

“What the f**k is a kiosk!”

. . . pause . . .

Bing Bong . . . “Customer service is needed at the Thompson Center kiosk.”

“What the f**k is a kiosk!”

. . . pause . . .

Bing Bong . . . “Customer service is needed at the Thompson Center kiosk.”

“What the f**k is a kiosk!”

Passenger waiting for a train points to the kiosk and yells at the man:
“THAT is a f**king kiosk!!!”

The homeless man walks away.

. . . pause . . .

Okay, that passenger was me.
