I race with my coworker every single day and she has no clue.
Basically the title. I sat at the back of the bus once when she started also using the same bus rather than relying on Ubers all the time (I told her to get a monthly buspass instead). And for some reason I get overly competitive over very mundane things only.
So that day I wonder, "could I beat her if I got off the bus early?" Dumb thought, I know. But I got off the bus a whole stop earlier than normal and began my walk. The bus drove past me and everything but I just wanted to win this one-sided battle against her.
Speed walked like I NEVER did before. I was gonna solo her in this mental race of mine without her even knowing.
She was on her phone too but i figured it was fair cuz I gave her a headstart, yknow? Better players must give themselves slight handicaps if they wanna fight with equity.
I mean, she is a lady in her mid-thirties tbf. How much more merciful could I get...?
I obviously won that day. And every morning I do the same shit now. I started getting off two stops earlier instead just to be the goat I am.
I lost only one day out of the 4 months I've been doing this. She has no clue. No clue she's getting beat DAILY. I smile and say mornings to her, and she's clueless. She thinks I'm the kind youngest worker of the daycare. She has no idea the secrets I hide.
Sorry this is cringe as hell but I still gloat over it every morning. My smartwatch praises me, I get an ego boost before an entire day of being an awkward fuck, and she gets a nice smile in the morning. Win/win ig.
