So the picture below is the topic of my post today. This past weekend my old roommate Rachel and I went to DC to visit my friend, Allison and my brother and her friend, Stephanie. Allison, Stephanie, Rachel and I went down to the Library of Congress to get a library card but it was closed on Sunday. We walked around for a bit, got a bite to eat and then decided to head back. But before we got on the metro Allison had to go to the bathroom. We went to the Starbucks across the street from the metro station. I saw this between the metro station and the building across the streeet and decided to take a picture while we waited for Allison. Then it happened.
On the street corner of Starbucks a homeless woman had been dancing around for change. She saw me take the picture and flipped out. This is what she said:
“I’m a celebrity! I’m going to have the FBI follow you home and take that camera from you! I work for the CIA. (I asked where her badge was.) I’m undercover for the CIA…I’m from Virginia Beach. My parents are from Virginia Beach. I’m a celebrity. I hate you white people…”
She continued to say how she hated white people and Stephanie couldn’t keep herself from laughing so she went in to find Allison. Unfortunately Allison missed the whole thing but my run-in with a Schizophrenic would never have happened if she hadn’t gone to the bathroom at Starbucks.
