... and had me sobbing for humanity and my old favorites from when I was a kid.
Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?
Not really sucky, just amusing. I was stocking shelves when I overhear this conversation
OL1=old lady 1
OL2=old lady 2
OL1: My son just graduated medical school. He's thinking about going to Miami for a celebration.
OL2: My daughter went to Miami last year. She's always travelling all over the world. Mexico, Peru, Egypt, practically every country in the world. Why just yesterday, she called me from all the way from Asia.
OL2: Wow! That's impressive! Do you know what country she was calling from?
OL1: Brazil.
Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?
Again, not sucky. Just stupid. A couple is waiting in my line. As I'm ringing someone else up, I hear this nice tidbit.
W=wife
H=husband
W: My sister took her kids to the museum today.
H: Hmmm.
W: She said they saw dinosaurs, cavemen, and some historical artifacts.
H: That's nice dear.
W: I hear that the kids had a blast and just absolutely enjoyed hearing about the ancient Romans.
H: Alright.
W: *sarcastically* She also says that the ancient Romans had a war with the cavemen and eventually, the dinosaurs became the Romans allies. Meanwhile the cavemen joined up with King Henry VIII's army and invaded the North Pole.
H: Yeah, that's fine, dear.

Something really spooky happened today. I was taking my break in the breakroom. I'm the only one in there. There is a little table in front of me with a pad and a pen on the table. The pad has no writing on it. I'm reading when I accidently drop the book. I bend over to pick it up and hear a tap on the table. I look up and on the pad is "D: 10:00-4:30 2/24/83" I think it's a joke, but then I realize that no one left or entered the breakroom or else I would have heard the door open. I open the door and look out. Seeing no one, I turn back and the pad now has "S, Can't make it to date tonight. Have to drive sister to hospital for tests. -D" Needless to say, I grabbed my stuff and high-tailed my ass out of that room!
Adventures in Wonderland
There was some sort of bizarre convention going on in town and the people attending the convention arrived here. Today I rang up a rabbit, a purple cat, someone who claimed to be a caterpillar, an egg, twins wearing matching beanies, a walrus, a mouse, and a guy in a very tall hat. My god, all these years back when I was a kid of me trying to find rabbit holes and bashing and bruising my head while trying to go through my mirror have finally paid off! I'm in Wonderland! Oh, wait, I'm still in reality. Dammit.

Surefire method of seeing if he's listening or not.
Next time you're in there you should try to communicate with it. Maybe through the pad, since it seems to be able to use it?
