Clean Socks

Friday the 13th. The weather is gloomy, raining, and much colder than yesterday. I suppose the weather fits well with the date. As I arrive to work I make a quick stop off in the restroom. After relieving myself I notice the janitor cleaning the sink area. O.k. no big deal, the guys doing his job right..? As I begin to wash my hands i notice out of the corner of my eye that the janitor is not wearing any shoes or socks. Some may think this is quite odd, but it doesn't phase me to see this. The old man is just washing his socks in the sink. Just smiling at me giving a warm greeting. This situation then seems to recall a memory of what I saw last year while living in Beijing. A grown man in his late 30's trying to sit in the public bathroom sink. Yep. Perhaps they were out of toilet paper so he wanted to wash his ass before returning back out into society.  This was one of those situations where you stop for a split second and think....What the fuck?? Then you pick up the pace and walk out to just wash your hands in the KFC next door.
