Real Life Drama

I love a good drama. Not the scripted kind you see on TV. I'm talking real life drama, unscripted, inappropriate and so entertaining it's impossible to look away.

Arguments in the street are my favourite, tantrum throwing kids don't do it for me though. They're not old enough to know better, or understand shame.

It has to be adults; fighting in public but carrying on like they're at home alone, away from the judgemental eyes of yours truely.

The other morning when I was walking to work, early in the morning with people everywhere, a fight broke out at the train station between a girl and her mother and the girls boyfriend.

This fight was like a magnet. I couldn't turn away and I didn't care how obvious I looked as I watched on with a smile on my face.
To make myself look somewhat covert I took the broken phone out of my pocket and pretended to be sending a message, a lame attempt at justifying my reason for standing there and watching.

The girl ended up in tears, and while I know this is meant to be sad, I was over the moon. The perfect start to my day!
Watching an argument break out at the station, listening to people carry on in public and make a spectacle of themselves is one of my favourite things.

It's better than TV, no annoying characters, no commercial breaks, just live drama, right in your face.

It's the best!!!
