Tuesday it happened to me.
It was quite a dreary day so I treated myself to Starbucks on my way to work (instead of making french press at the office).
I was waiting at the bus stop. I normally walk, but this morning I was meeting with a client first thing, so I wanted to get in earlier than usual.
It was taking longer than usual (In the Loop you normally take your pick of the buses lined up to get on during rush hour).
So, I take a few steps forward to the curb to look down the street to see how far away the bus is - a taxi races past - people start shouting expletives at the cab - This is when I realize I have been puddle drenched. Oh yes, puddle drenched. Head to toe
covered in dirty street water. Ewww.Because it's still winter here in the Chi I was covered with my parka, galoshes, and a hat. Nevertheless, everything was soaked. All I could do was laugh and laugh. Oh boy, what a way to start my morning.
At least it made a great anecdote to share with the client.
(Check out what would have happened to the driver in the UK -They take these things pretty seriously. Yikes.)
