Bad Idea Jeans #57: I went to the McD's in Downtown Crossing for a midday repast.

It's only the second time I've done that in the 4 years I've worked in this area. I knew it was iffy, but I had errands next door and a coupon so I took my chances.

Dear Lord.

There was a 300+ lb. very tattooed woman in the corner on her cell phone loudly bitching about a mysterious 1000 dollars missing from her bank account. I don't know who did it, but there is every indication that if she gets a hold of 'Sherman' he's in big trouble. Huge. This particular coquette was holding court in a section of the resto and seemed to be conducting her business there as per usual. She did not suffer from a lack of suitors. There were any number of greasy unwashed unemployed gentlemen who one by one competed to curry her favor. They must've thought she actually had 1000 dollars somewhere. She cussed them all out individually, but that didn't deter any of the would-be paramours. On my way out she had actually allowed one of the swains a chance to sit down and chat her up even after she'd reminded him that 'they'd had problems before'. He still looked hopeful.

By the time the Streisand version of 'Memory' wafted from the soundsystem and yet one more lone funky homeless man yelled "WTF is that Cat talking about?!" I realized it was probably high time to get back to the office.
