As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I had to lug the twenty pound deep fat fryer home last night since my scam at macy's failed. It wasn't really that heavy, but it is big and sort of awkward especially when you're only five feet tall. The easiest way for me to carry it was to balance it on my hip and hold it with one arm but since the street outside my office is so congested I couldn't move on the street like that because it was taking up too much room so I had to carry it out in front of me with both arms. Also, people were looking at me like I was crazy...they were turning their heads as I walked by and whispering. I mean, I've seen a guy walk down the street in assless chaps and no one even blinked but apparently a small woman with a deep fat fryer...now there's an oddity.
So I get to the Subway and if you've ever gone down into the subway, maybe you've noticed that there's a pretty strong breeze that blows up out of the Subway...so if you're wearing a skirt, it's pretty important to hold it down when you're walking down the stairs. So I start to descend and my skirt blows up a little...so I try to shift the deep fat fryer over to my hip to free up a hand but there's a large group of people coming up the stairs and I can't shift it over so I just have to keep walking as my skirt comes up higher and higher since I'm carrying the damn fryer with both arms. So, there I was, on the subway stairs, powerless to hold my skirt down. I thought for a second that maybe it wasn't as high as I thought, it just felt that way but then I heard the guy walking behind me go "Wheeeeewwwwww" as we walked down. So...guy behind me...I just want to say you're welcome..hoped you enjoyed the show...and screw you macys and your damn deep fat fryer.
