idk if Iβve posted about this before but by far the strangest things thatβs happened to me in retail was the time someoneβs total came out to my birth-year and I saidΒ βhey! thatβs the year I was born!β and then the next customerβs total came out to like $12.57 and just bc Iβm a weirdo I saidΒ βhey! thatβs the year I was born!β and without missing a fucking beat this like, 70+ year old man said
βAh! Another like me! Weβre few and far between these days, arenβt we?β
And I was like oh man this guyβs sense of humor really aligns with mine! And I laughed and made some other joke about being immortal and thought that was the end of it,
but this man.
He stood by the register for five more minutes. Maybe more. Which let me tell you is an EXCRUTIATING amount of time for something like this to happen.
And he just kept upping the ante!! He starting talking about some REALLY specific details regarding day-to-day life in the 1300s to the point I started getting worried that Iβd misled a genuinely immortal being to believe I am also immortal.
He eventually politely left when I got too busy with other customers to awkwardly respond.
Who the fuck was that guy.
βAh! Another like
me! Weβre few and far between
these days, arenβt we?β
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
