coworker: Hey is your phone the one with the dog on it?
me: Yup, is it ringing?
coworker: Well sorta...it has a "heart, two people holding hands and BC" I think it's time..
(realizes birth control alarm is FAR too recognizable to the public eye)
me: Thanks, that's an important one for sure!

[my phone is in the back room while I'm working on the floor helping customers]
coworker: Your alarm is going off
me: What time is it? shoot, yea it is...my bad

[gross lady running, literally running out of the bathroom at Starbucks]
gross lady: [staring wide eyed at me as she opens b-room door] it wasn't me, it wasn't me! I washed my hands in the sink and there wasn't no toilet papers
me: enters scene of toilet paper thrown all over bathroom, sink left running, mounds of disgusting piling over the toilet seat and a stench that might take years to forget.
gross lady: continues running through store lobby, straight out the door
...it was her

Lol, wow!
ReplyDeletestrange week, i know :) ha!
DeleteOH MY GOODNESS! that's absolutely ridiculous. it sounds like you had a very interesting week! that guy sounds creepy!
ReplyDeleteright?! i don't even know haha!
DeleteOkay that last one is unreal!! How crazy. Don't leave your door open, k?! :)
ReplyDeleteno more door opening unless Jeff is home :) hehe
DeleteThese conversations are hilarious! Especially the last one, even though it was a little concerning. I don't know which is worse, the old man riding around pretending to be famous or the 11 year old boy who spend $200 of his parents money on jewelry. It's a toss up.
ReplyDeleteit's definitely a toss up! the people in my neighborhood are clearly nuts :)
