They were cool and I was cool and we didn't bother each other. We just like everyone else, strangers. The trouble comes when in the other side of the cart, a guy sit on the lap of his fellow. The guy on the bottom played his fingers into.... Oh, God! I don't want to remember that horrible sight! I feel disgusted and walked away into other cart. My friend asked me, what if it was heterosexual? I could digest to that. But, it wasn't. It was a man ...
