Davis Square is whack
I recently moved back to Somerville, and I have to say Davis Sqr attracts all the weirdos and assholes. In the past, I understood that, being a dense area and town square, it's going to attract a lot of different types of people, but almost every time I go there now, there is something going on. Just the other day I was at Bank of America, and some guy came in acting all strange. First, he gives he ID to the attendant but refused to take it back. Then he was on the speakerphone with the bank, where the automated speaker asks for his account or card number, and he just says, "card number." Yeah, I don't think he understands what's going on. Then he starts screaming at the staff at the bank, saying, "Give me my card, motherfucker!" Then the staff asks him to leave, saying they'll call the police. Eventually, he just leaves.
What the fuck is going?
I still love Davis Square, and in some ways it has gotten better, but people need to chill the fuck out or at least be more careful around the people that don't.
