Inspired (maybe) by the one and only @frot!
Okay so steemit is a bit dead, and crypto with it, all is not lost, nooooooo, quite the opposite you see.
I want to tell you about the most boring person I ever worked with, and by gawd there was a lot of people, but this one man, yes just 1 man took and still takes the crown - FOR- The single most boring person, I ever had the misfortune to work with!.
I was stuck working in the engine manufacturing plant for BMW engines, the engines that go in the BMW owned new style mini coopers. And had the misfortune to get stuck in a room for 6 months with this man named Norman. If you had a son, and wanted to give him a good strong name, would you call him Norman?.
Norman was the kind of man that came to work with the same sandwiches every day, the same bag of crisps, and the same BOOK!. Nobody ever talked to Norman, and he never talked to anyone else.
I decided to ask Norm what the book was, the book he read every single day he was at work, for lunch he read "the book" for break times x2 he read "the book".......... And so it was, I opened a can of worms, to Normans sordid life!.
With great delight that someone had asked about the book, he thrust it into my hands.
A book about west midlands buses in black and white.
Old Norman had taken this book from a library, not once, not twice, but hundreds of times. In fact Norman was the only person ever to read this book. He had been back every month, to get the book checked back in, then back out from Birmingham's main library you see. That was a "fact" he was also very proud about!. 12 years our Norman had done that!.......
Once I had this book in my hands, I skipped through the pages, noting most of it was only pictures of buses, the boring buses most people hate to travel on, though for some there is no other choice. Our Norm it turns out, was a seasoned veteran bus traveler. Every weekend he would put on his works overalls, buy a day ticket, and travel all day on any bus he could find. Jumping off one and onto the next, with no end aim in sight.
His wife would think he was working overtime, and getting paid, the truth though was the above!.
So I called him "the bus spotter," and he seemed to like that very much. Normans idea of fun, was writing down all the number plates of the buses he had ever been on. His passion for life was finding the bus he had never been on.
I see them here too, though not bus spotters, more airplanes.
I did say to Norman that what he was doing, should his wife find out, would maybe be worse than having an affair, as his affair was with a bus lol.
