Troublesome Humor or Humorous Trouble?

Mailbox, you and I end here...


I went home and asked my friend for advice on what I should do about Fred's books. And she said I should take his books with me and leave a note in his mailbox to tell him I had it. Honestly, I thought that was kind of creepy-ish, though I really have no right to say that after trying to open every mailbox in the whole place. Well I decided to stop by the office while my housemate and I were waiting for the bus to go on to campus anyways. I went to check the locker to see if his books were there, thankfully yes, and I also showed her how my key opens Fred's mailbox just as easily as it does our compartment. Off I went then to report my problem, but the office people were really confused with what happened here. I'm just relieved they didn't press me on the issue that I should have gone home and looked for my mailbox number instead of...y'know. Well they seemed to grasp the concept after a few more explanations of what mailbox I opened, why the key wouldn't come out, and that books were still left unlocked in the open. And actually they came up with the most reasonable solution to the overly complicated mess I got myself into, just go deliver the books to the guy myself. Wow, that was simple. Was I too dumbfounded by my mailbox situation that I couldn't figure that out? Maybe. I sprinted out, all excited that I'm finally doing the right reparations to fix this. It was all about to be resolved! I grabbed the locker handle and opened the locker....the books...were GONE!! I freaked out! What are the chances that in the 10 minutes I last checked it, it would be missing?!?! Probability sucks, chance sucks, so for the last time I decided to open his mailbox, and found out his usual letters and newspaper were also taken. I'm supposing now that Fred was the person that got all his mail as well as his books since that's all I could really hope for! Well most likely it is what happened as I went back to the office and they told me not to worry about it anymore, and then I thought about it again.

Many things in my life seem to resolve itself without me really doing anything. The only difference between me reporting and not reporting the mix up is the knowledge I tried my best to fix the situation. It seems my life may be planned to be undramatic, rarely any friend fights, never any illicit trysts. Boring? But I'm not complaining, people who look for stress will find it. And perhaps I was as lucky as originally thought, I didn't have to get officially involved with Fred and he never had to know about me opening his mailboxes, several times. Thanks Fred for checking for your own books, and we will most likely never meet.

If Fred looked anything like him, maybe I would've missed not meeting him


well...


i'm just dreaming

what a miss if Fred truly looks like that...maybe you should try doing what you did again to see if he really is a catch...haha

manglish said...

for all you know Kris, Fred may look something like that hahahaah.....and if you really do meet up with him one day, let us know :) with pic of him of course :)

Kris said...

成亿!! hahaha what a great suggestion, bring more trouble to myself. this time luck may not forgive me, and Fred does turn out to be the complete opposite!? Oh no...

Manglish! lol, why you think I should go see him too!! I won't do it, no no! maybe it sounds like I have an affection for his name, but I can't imagine dating a Fred lol. i think i'll stay away from this mishap, and continue a near drama-less life.

I realized something, I wonder if it feels weird to have somebody writing about you when you haven't even met them or know what they look like? What is with this anonymous connection...okay nevermind. I think i'm making too big of a deal out of this, it really is nothing. I would've just forgotten in a while if I didn't write about it.

Haha, what a miss...
No worries, if you are fated to meet him, you will definitely meet him..
Perhaps in some other dramatic ways?
It would be more dramatic if he looks something like the pic above...who knows? LOL

成亿 said...

haha, you'll never know until you saw him...life could be really good to you by sending a handsome Fred to you..XD

maybe you'll bump into him on some street and sparks fly between you two...who knows?

Kris said...

Hey Steve!!
Thanks for visiting my blog~ y'know I agree! I believe what will happen...will happen. But could he really look as good as a celebrity? hmmm... =P

成亿! ahaha...you are really making me curious now, did I miss out on the greatest event in my life, my gut feeling is that this was all a coincidence, I do a lot of stupid/clumsy things, this is just another haha.
