Meet Cute: Planes Trains and Automobiles

fuckyeahcharacterdevelopment:

  • I’m a cabbie and this is the THIRD time you’ve leapt into my taxi and said ‘drive!’, ‘shhhhh’, or ‘follow that car!’ and if you ever want to get in my cab again you had better tell me who you are and what the hell is always going on with you.  
  • In line for the intercity bus, an incredibly creepy person won’t stop talking to someone else (who looks about as uncomfortable as they could possibly be) and so help me if Creeper tries to sit next to them on the bus for the five hour drive I am going to become Uncomfortable’s long lost high school friend who just has to catch up with them right now, please excuse us.
  • My car broke down on the side of the road and my phone, in a spectacular moment of adding insult to injury, is out of battery, so I can’t call to be towed. You, a radiant beam of sunshine, pull over and offer to help. 
  • You and I both agreed to be parent volunteers for our respective kid’s field trip. The field is a two hour trip by school bus. Unless we can find a way to keep these kids entertained, we’re going to be trapped with twenty six aggressively bored kindergarteners. We’re going to have to tag team this. 
  • My life is flashing before my eyes because I packed a suitcase too heavy for me to lift over my head, and a line of people are waiting for me to put my suitcase up into the overhead rack so that they can board the train. Before I can sink into the earth in embarrassment, you appear and lift the suitcase with ease, smiling and starting to tell me a ridiculous story about you and your old suitcase from hell. 
  • The children in the seats in front of us are a Repeater and a Shouter respectively and I can see that you forgot to pack headphones, would you like to borrow my spares? 
  • We are caught in an extreme traffic jam and have been sitting next to each other, parked, for the last five minutes. Your radio is playing my absolute favorite song so I ask you to turn it up. We spend the rest of the slow traffic aggressively singing along to the music at each other. 
  • Sometimes, I get nervous on airplanes because tin cans were never meant to be airborne, I am so so sorry that I instinctually grabbed your hand when the plane took off.
