Bad Habit 1

I have a bad habit of eavesdropping. I don't purposely listen in on people's conversations, but it's hard not to when they're sitting right behind you in class. The rewards of eavesdropping aren't great, but once in a while something will come up in everyday discussion that throws me for a loop.
For instance, last Friday some guy was asking the girl behind me for some lotion. When she said it was baby lotion he exclamied, "Oh, nevermind, I don't want any. Babies are fags, man." I swear there's no embellishment to this account whatsoever, he really said that. He went on to explain why babies are fags, naming what most babies do best: cry, fuss, defecate in diapers, etc. No one understood what he was trying to say, did he mean that by using her lotion, he himself, was gay? I don't know if I'll ever understand what he meant, but I do question his urgent need to have soft hands..

I just googled, "babies are fags". And I got this old post of yours. My buddy said this to me the other day and I laughed about it for a good 5 minutes. Mainly because there was no context, he just blurted it out.
