#1. Actual weirdness at the pharmacy:
Random Man: I'm here to pick up two prescriptions for my wife, Deloris Smith. It should be two different crazy pills.
Pharm. Asst.: (Stares uncomfortably and then turns to search for the prescriptions)
Random Man: There should be two.
Pharm. Asst.: Sir, I don't see any prescriptions for crazy pills under that name. I did find these two, but they aren't crazy pills.
Random Man: Okay, I will just take these then. She can call about the other stuff.
Pharm. Asst.: That's fine.
I was next and wanted so badly to ask for my crazy nasal spray prescription, but I chickened out, and the pharmacist didn't look to be in a good mood.
#2. Thrift store weirdness:
Yesterday, a guy in the thrift store asked the cashier if they had any Christmas lights. She told him that they did not, and suggested that he try Walmart. "They have cheap ones there," she shared. The man looked at the floor for several seconds, and then confessed "I'm not welcome at Walmarts [sic] any more... Not something I did, but I lent my car..."
*Very awkward pause.
"Well, how about the Dollar Tree, I think I saw some... " The man looked down again.
#3. It's nice to be nice:
I know nothing of women's footwear. I crossed paths with a very stunningly elegant woman, she wore amazing burnished silver shoes. It was obvious that she had taken great care in essembling her outfit. Everything about her flowed a silvery dance.
"Now, that's a pair of shoes," I told her! She stopped and looked down as if their beauty were a surprise to her as well. She beamed as she thanked me. I may have made her day.
I should add, I did not stop nor break my stride for fear of her response. The news has trained me to fear complimenting people. I do it anyway. ❤
#4. Let it go:
I have decided to let it go therefore, I will leave out the details. I will say that we have become a nation of petty bullies. I yelled at someone today that had decided I was fair game to flex their stupid on. "SHUT THE F' UP," I told him. I seriously hate that that was the only effective solution for ending a ridiculous exchange that should never have happened. People?
