I don't have a car, so I walk to work (roughly 30-40min walk) today while I was standing waiting for a crosswalk a car pulled up and a group of kids threw about a dozen eggs at me and took off. Freak prank, kids will be kids, annoying but not the biggest of deals for me, plus id rather it be me than like a homeless person. Fortunately I was wearing a puffy jacket so very few eggs exploded on impact, they mostly blew up around my feet, from about knee down I had egg all over me. I I was about 10min from work, I don't see any customers and just sit at a desk so I figured I'd go in try wet paper towel what I could and just be kinda ew for one day, vs walk back home change, then leave again and be late. After about an hour at my desk manager called me into the office and asked why I was so disgusting, I told him and he said “in the future you should either leave earlier incase this type of thing happens, or always have a change of clothes” then sent me back to my desk to work.
Just like why bother, shit happens. I'm not going to totally change up my routine because of one random incident. What did we accomplish by doing this other than distract me from work for 10 minutes? /rant
