You know it's going to be a strange day when...

... three men, in quick succession, walk by you while talking on their mobile phones and as they go by you, they say, "Huh?!" to the person on the other end of the line.

Other strangeness:

1. All three cabs I took today took the most convoluted routes to my destinations.

2. And that, if you've just spilled a drink on a newly carpeted floor in the college where you're having a photo shoot, it's probably not a good idea to say very loudly, "Hey! Lick up that wet carpet!"
