Overheard in Mastic Part 3

I started out early this morning. Got to Mastic/Shirley train station 10 minutes till departure, 7:47am train to Penn. Get dropped off in front of the ticket machines just adjacent to the shuttered Station House that hasn't had open doors in decades. A 30-something-year-old-man was posted on his Huffy BMX bike just in front of the ticket machines. We squeezed between the dude and the machine to make a ticket purchase.

Dude on bike " Yo I am inna situation right now, can I get 5 dollars to buy wipes for my baby?"

So I respond, "No, I need the money to buy a ticket."

Dude kicks back, "How bout a dolla den?"

I just giggle as another woman approaches to buy a ticket from the next machine.

Dude kicks it to her, " Yo, you single?"

Whats the baby momma gonna think?

Overheard in Mastic Part 2

Situation 1

TJ's Hero on Mastic road.

Every morning pre-beach we head to TJ's to have beach food rations on hand at all times.  I usually sit in the car as the others in the car go in to make an order.  This time I have 3 ladies with me, Yuki and Minami, both Japanese and Mary who is Chinese. Two construction dudes follow them in. Some clock rotations occur.  The two laborers walk out obviously speaking of what they just saw.

" I think they were twins"

Situation 2

Gas station on Neighborhood Road

After driving the outerbeach you have to air your tires up.  Saturday the lines were huge so I decided to air up at a gas station.  I pull up and the mechanics were checking out the situation.  The air machine is of course broken.

"Pull your car up between these two bays."

I pull up and the girls, bikini clad, get out into the parking lot. I go over to the tire he is putting air into.

"Are they all yours" speaking about the girls " I have to commend you for driving around with three beautiful ladies"

I should have sold him one.

Overheard or I Saw in Mastic

it was a usual morning ritual of forgetting to buy half and half Friday night and having to run up to Shop With Us Quality Food Stores just beyond the railroad tracks. With product in hand I waited patiently for the low pants slung teen in front of me to finish his transaction with the store clerk. In my line standing stare I see the boy holding baby food and lotto tickets. The clerk says "we are in New York" and the dude replies "so I can't use these?"
"no" with a what are you frickin talking about tone, and the kid leaves empty handed.
The white wanna- be inner city looker was trying to buy baby food with Pennsylvania Lotto Tickets. Genius!
