repeating behaviours

If I were a bet­ting man, I would bet on re­peat­ing be­hav­iours in humans. 

If I am walk­ing down the street, and hear peo­ple con­vers­ing be­hind me, and one of them says, “fuck” one time, I start count­ing “fucks.”

One chim­panzee. Two chim­panzee. I bet that this in­di­vid­ual will say “fuck” or “fuck­ing” six, eight or twelve times in a minute. 

This also works with the words “amaz­ing,” “awe­some,” the phrase “Omigod!” and, of course, the ubiq­ui­tous “like.” As in, “I’m like, what­ev­er!” And she’s like, “For­get it!” I’m like, disgusted.

Al­though one of my fa­vorite pas­times, eaves­drop­ping is a dou­ble sided coin. 

In or­di­nary cir­cum­stances, lis­ten­ing to these ad­dlepat­ed cretins hap­pi­ly re­in­forces my feel­ings of in­tel­lec­tu­al superiority. 

But in San Fran­cis­co, I chanced to over­hear the fol­low­ing: “I’m go­ing to a Car­bon Par­ty!” Lat­er, the same speak­er de­scribed rain as “at­mos­pher­ic river.” 

Ap­par­ent­ly, even weath­er can be brand­ed. I ex­pe­ri­ence a whole new kind of trep­i­da­tion, tinged with insecurity.
