answering the call of nature costs dearly at MOL ... begrade, serbia

Belgrade, Serbia, 12-9-24. around noon I was picking up a well-known art critic, Djoric, from his place near Mirijevski Boulevard and I dropped by this Mol gas station [photo above] to take a leak there. as I exited the toilet, I felt an overwhelming presence of fumes as i overheard the cashier saying aloud, "What are you spraying?!“ she was referring to the guy on a ladder who was lingering over my head spraying chemicals into the walkway from above and yet directly into the path whereat i walked by. I felt shocked and upset because what the cashier saw was telling she must had thought that the person was doing something truly improper. I walked out bothered and came back inside seconds later to ask that guy what he was working with in case i felt sick later on and he replied it was an AC cleaner ... he showed a can to me so i photographed it. as i traveled with Djoric, I complained to him about the numbing tension, pain and funny tightness in my chest combined with some kind of heartache that were present due to this incident and those irritating feelings have been lasting up to this very moment  ...
