I usually hate zoos anyway. i take my young cousins there, and my friends kids when i babysit.
My friend had been curious about going to the zoo. I told him tim eand time again, I think thats a bad Idea.
So my GF and I went anyway. We took 8gs each.
We ate them on the way, we usually do. and i felt them when we got to the parking lot. I had her pay for the tickets cause i didnt wanna talk to people.
it was overwhelming from the start. i was enjoying the fake environment laid out by the grounds keeper. I was enjoying the little animals in their apartments (though sad it seemed). I was enjoying my GF's company.
But... it was a saturday and there was a lot of families with there kids there. and as we walked passed the crowds I heard every word said by every person, then i started to notice there facial expressions.
I could see the emotions and intent of everyone we passed. Some were happy, some were sad, i could tell some people were on dates and trying to force some kind of connection.
At one point there was a long stretch of this and i couldnt handle it. I grab my GF and we broke away and found a nice bench. i held her in my arms and tried to calm myself down. I was crying but wearing sunglasses, so i thought i was ok.
eventually we got to a point where we were just trying to find the exit. I had a map but... well it was colorful and confusing, so that was out the window.
Funny part. so as we tried to find our escape route, we saw much more of the zoo, and at all the cages there is a sign saying stuff about the creatures. at one point of the zoo there was a fence and a parking lot behind it and there were signs. i swear it looked like a little people exhibit.
I commented " And if you look to your right you will see some homosapiens going about there business in their natural habitat."
eventually we got to the end and left, by then i felt better and wanted to stay but realised that it was better to go somewhere else.
Once again i dont like tripping in public places, and will never do it again. if you trip at a zoo go when its not busy.
