    Just saw The Jungle Book.

    Two girls sat in front of me. They whispered throughout the entire film, but it was so quiet that I didn't bother asking them to stop.
    Two people way down in front took out their phones once during the movie.

    After the film, it's a lot shorter than I expected, so I have lots of time to spare before the next bus.
    I spend that time waiting, listening to music.
    There are 3 people waiting. Two on the bench, one sitting on the grass.
    A man, mid 40s perhaps, joins and asks when the next bus to [town] arrives. The girls on the bench say they don't know, I tell him it's at 5:55.
    The two girls from the theater arrive at the bus stop. They chat.
    I sit on the curb while I wait. There's a large "DON'T FUCKING DRIVE HERE" area, so my feets are safe. He also sits on the curb, a ways down. Later, he comes back, asks if the bus is coming in around 15 minutes. I check my phone. 21 minutes to go. I rounded down 6 minutes and told him that was about right. He asks me to watch his bike and bag while he gets a lottery ticket.
    The guy sitting on the grass crosses the street, and climbs a tree.
    I spot another girl across the parking lot, reading a book under a tree.
    The guy climbs off the tree and just lies in the grass.
    I photograph both of them. I do that.
    When the 40s man returns, he thanks me, but says the bike was worthless. I told him I was observant anyways. He thanked me. I wasn't all that observant.
    Bus to [different town] arrives. Most people leave. The treeman asks if it's bus to [town], doesn't bother reading the bright glowing "NOT THAT TOWN" sign.
    He calls someone and says the bus isn't coming. I know he's being silly.
    The bus arrives.
    We go.
    Fin.

      Editing … I forgot to mention that the man had a coughing fit right before the bus arrived, and said that he smoked medical marijuana for it, and for his headaches. I mentioned that coffee helps me with mine. I wonder why he initiated conversation, and why he told me that. I like this stranger.

      Editing … You realize coffee helps you with headaches because you're addicted to coffee and it's a withdrawal symptom, right?

      Editing … I actually didn't start drinking coffee until after I heard it was good for headaches, it's actually anti-inflammatory. I started getting my headaches when I was really young, long before I'd ever tasted coffee, and my doctor even had me tested for a brain tumor. No tumor though. Hi Mr. Zap! I forgot this post. This is a really good post.
