happy sunday everyone!
i've been laughing about something that happened in town since yesterday...i may not be fit to go "off farm" heh heh heh
so i went to our Giant Eagle grocery store for a few things - but of course i ran in without my store card and the cream cheese WAS on sale so i wanted my $0.20 off.
when i got to the register i said, kinda loudly, "oh geez i dont have my card - can i just enter in my phone number in the card swipe thingy?"
cuz you can do that at kroger. and i said it loud enough so that the mom in the next aisle over with a HUGE cart of stuff and a big handful of coupons could hear me. i figured she turn around and say "oh here just use my store card" - so that i could get the discount and she could get the "gas points." i've done this before - and i've let other people "use" my card when they get stuck at the register.
but she didnt hear me
so i turned to the man who was in front of me (i saw that he had his store card) and said,
"unless i can use yours? and then you'll get the credit for the gas?"
he looked at me like i just asked him if my dog could take a big crap in his yard. then he hurriedly turn, muttered something like "not likely" and then ran off like i was standing there with chicken pox, measles, and the swine flu.
so the checker and i kinda looked at each other.
then she said she had to get the (insert customer unfriendly way of looking up the card thingy).
so i did this and that - still wondering why someone would be so mean.
and then it hit me.
so i looked up at the checker and said, "OHMIGOSH! i bet that man thought i was asking him to buy my groceries!!!!"
and then we all laughed - including 3 people back in line.
oh geez. i bet he went home and told everyone about some weird gal who smelled like chickens who wanted him to be her sugar daddy.
i was so embarrassed i could have died. i had a thought to run after him and say 'thats not what i was asking'
but i have a feeling that would have only made it worse
weird man to friends: and THEN she chased me in the parking lot! i practically had to run her over to get away
friends: people are SO WEIRD
so if anybody knows that guy.. thats not what i was asking!!!
sheesh!
