So, I got my check cashed today, and on my way home I swung by the grocery store to pick up a few items. Just the basic necessities to get me through the week, Diet Coke and Ramen.
Anyways, I'm at the check out aisle and there's one woman in front of me. She's maybe 45ish + clearly doing her grocery shopping for the month as she has loads of items, and while they are being bagged away she keeps giving me these odd looks. It goes on and on and she can tell I'm getting a bit nervous so eventually she says to me "hey, I'm sorry, but you just look exactly like my dead son". She goes as far as to pull a photo of him from her purse. I see no resemblance between me and the deceased, but I feel bad for her anyway.
She requests a favor from me. Says she never got to tell her son goodbye, so would I mind saying "goodbye mom" as she walks off. "Sure" I say...feeling odd about it, obviously, but what else am I supposed to do???
As she begins rolling her buggy full of grocery items away, I say "goodbye mom". She stops, turns around, and replies "goodbye, son". I then proceed to walk the three steps to the cashier to pay for my own stuff, and he says "that will be $367 dollars and some odd change I can't recall. I say "what the heck man, for Diet soda and Ramen? He then tells me my supposed "mom" said I'd be paying for her groceries as well. FUCK THAT! I then chased her to the parking lot and grabbed onto her legs, pulling them....just like I pulled all of yours.
