Noises

There are all kinds of noises. But I think the best are the kinds that people make when they don't realize it.

I was at the gym the other day, and the guy next to me kept shouting words. I can only imagine that they were like "one more", or "a little further"... but alas, they weren't in English. He had headphones on too... and I don't think he realized how loud it was. but every time he did it, someone around us would laugh. It was pretty funny.

This morning on the train into work, this guy sitting a couple seats behind me was mumbling to himself... the same things over and over. But again, not in English...

As I was walking towards my building, I saw a guy on a bike pedaling into his apartment building and almost collided with a pedestrian. Luckily, the pedestrian looked up and stopped walking right as the cyclist zoomed past. Why did the pedestrian look up? B/c the cyclist made a high pitched ERRRRRR sound, much like what Ross thinks raptors may have sounded like. It was quite funny. I burst out laughing hysterically on the street. I'm sure someone else thought I was crazy for cracking up on the snowy streets.
