Interesting people

I love interesting people. People fascinate me, and I thought it might be fun to record particularly awesome or interesting people I see or meet. Today, I met a man who sold me a very expensive block of chocolate, and successfully made me forget that it was very expensive because he had a thick greek accent and grinned at me very gladly when I asked to try the peanut butter chocolate (incredible, if you were wondering) because apparently all the "young ones" like it. He was very nice and genuinely seemed to like his job, which is rare and enjoyable. 

Another interesting person is a waitress I once met at a cafe in my hometown of Brighton, England 

Voila. Isn't it cute?




















I remember her she was crying uncontrollably. She didn't seem to be very aware of it but tears were streaming down her face. She served us without any indication that she was upset, but just cried. I wondered at the time whether she had some kind of crying disorder. She was thin, and wearing an apron with straight, mousy hair tied up with a rubber band. We ordered a lot of sandwiches and she just cried. I wonder if she's still crying. Eventually a man took over and she turned away and wiped her eyes, but it left an impression on me. It's very rare that you see that kind of emotion in strangers (especially in England, where shaking hands is seen as wildly emotional), and it interested me. I hope she's ok. 


I should clarify that I no longer live in bonny England. I moved to Australia due to an allergy to the cold and the desire to see if the people living here really are all surfers and/or wombats (they are, if you were wondering).
