The human experience proved too much for sales assistant Lauren Katter (26) today as she waited while her phone got repaired and was forced to survive alone with her thoughts.
Despite having direct access to food, water and a Michel’s Patisserie, Katter found it extremely difficult to feel safe and comfortable as she sat in a public space by herself.
“I was just sitting there. By myself. It was horrible,” cried Katter.
“I kept thinking about this time I asked my second cousin how they were after they’d already told me how they were. Far out, how did people used to survive like this?”
Desperate to distract herself from the nightmare odyssey of her own consciousness, Katter attempted to prolong her insanity by visiting a discount fashion outlet and buying four pairs of pants she didn’t even need.
Following that she stopped and chatted with a street pest for 20 minutes before lost $14.50 in a skill tester machine, trying to win a sun-damaged Canterbury Bulldogs ball that featured the club’s previous logo.
“Yeah, I kept myself busy. It’s a shame though, that would have made a great Insta story.”
After receiving her phone back, Howells stated she could feel her pupils widening and experienced the pleasant feeling of her arm being complete once again.
According to her Instagram, a post of her and her four useless pairs of pants was posted with the caption “Catch ya later thinking, it was nice knowing ya!”
More to come.
