Saw a girl walking across campus, and she was glued to her phone texting or whatever. I also remember she was in Ugg boots, they were in their hay day, this was like 2011. Anyway she fully inadvertently kicked a squirrel while walking and didn’t notice. Squirrel bolted away, I feel like I was the only one who noticed
This reminds me of the last time I went to Vegas. When we landed, we went to the rental car pickup place, and while we were waiting for the teller to get our keys, we first heard and then saw a young Asian girl running across the rental car pavilion in flip-flops, with a loud, echoing, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, with every step that she took that filled the entire room.
The oddest thought crossed my mind, and I said aloud to my girlfriend and the teller, “imagine if your serial killer wore flip-flops and that was the last sound that you ever heard”.
Do you ever have those moments where you just talk without thinking and it sucks all of the air out of the room? The teller stared at me and then looked at my girlfriend and then they both looked at me and then they both burst out laughing. They laughed until they cried.
Like, I’m definitely not an S tier comedian or anything, but that was probably one of the funniest things I’ve ever said.
The high I get from moments like this with my friends, family, and random strangers cannot be understated. The laughter from those times sustains me in a primal way like nothing else.
its the survival brain that kicks in. i do this but its always relative to zombie attacks. imagine if a mass zombies were wearing flip flops coming right for you.
My college campus was the only place I’ve been where I’d see squirrels just walk up right next to you (often to get into trash cans) and not scurry away from passers by. I was definitely more startled by them than the other way around, ha. Unbothered squirrels could totally be common in cities with greenery, attending college just accounts for most of my time spent downtown.
I live in the suburbs, and sometimes if I’m gardening or lounging, a rabbit will approach within 8-10ft, but any moves towards it and it’ll bolt. I often don’t notice them until they suddenly run away, since I’ve become accustomed to my ducks waddling around me in my peripheral and assume it’s one of them.

I’m sure the squirrel noticed, but yeah, it’s a small club with just the two of you in it.
dang i thought squirrels would have had more survival instinct.
