Note to self: Be a slob.

[ShadowTiger]

Oooookay.

So I'm in a certain Mart of Wal a few days ago on a day I was lucky to have off. I'm walking around in the computer games area, (Love the stuff.) looking at the various things they have. An old man walks up to me. He's apparently the sort of old man who mumbles and has liverspots and crouches and uses a cane and all that. The stereotypical variation of elderly human. I am overstaying my time in the computer area and have to rush back to meet my ride in mere moments, so I can't stay and chat with this guy.

Old Man.
Me.
Random lady.

Man: Cameras?
Me: ... ._O' ... um ... wat. (I like to spell it that way in a case of genuine WTF confusion.)
Man: Where are your cameras?
Me: I'm actually not sure myself. Gotta be around here somewhere though.
Man: ... Cameras?
Me: ... I still don't know where they are. Try asking someone who works here?
Man: Where are they?
Me: Not sure.
Man: Why not? You work here!
Me: I don't. What makes you think that?
Man: You're not dressed like a slob!
Me: Why um, thank you my good sir; I appreciate that, I suppose...
Man: So how about you be a good little girl (WTF?! In what universe would he think I'm a ...) and tell me where the cameras are.
Me: I don't know. I'm sorry but I still don't know. Perhaps find someone in the blue vests who works here? They can tell you. I kind of have to go. I get up and start to leave.
Random Lady: You work here, man! You should tell him where they are!
Man: Where are the cameras?
Me: I ... ... G'haa! I have no idea! I don't work here! *Starts to creep away from everything*
Random Lady: What is with you Wallypeople, never wanting to help a poor soul out. I swear.
Me: But I DON'T Work here!
Random Lady: So now you're trying to cover your 4$$? Typical.
Man: Oh, maybe you know where the cameras are? (He was talking to ME.)
Me: O_O' ... ... *Blazes over to the Electronics service desk and PLEADS with them to tell me where the Cameras are.*
(Aside) Man: Maybe you know. Cameras?
Random Lady: Oh hell no,, I don't work here. *Does a snide turn and walks away with her cart*
Me: (Genuinely WTF'd out.) Cameras are (apparently) in the next aisle...
Man: Where?
Me: ... I'm not sure I know myself.
Man: Okay. *Walks in the opposite direction, out of the electronics department.
Me: ... Of course. Of course he walks away from it.
Salesman: Yeah, they do that sometimes. :-/
Me: I'll bet. ._.' Sorry...
Salesman: *Laughs* I wouldn't think too hard about it.

bahahaha! hehe...ooo...i love the gender confusion part the best. i've been called a boy before, so it's always good to know i'm not the only one getting mixed up...
i'm glad the sales associate was so...helpful. why didn't he show the guy where the cameras were?

[ShadowTiger]

They were out of audial range, as was I, obviously so. Old man was in my way, and random lady was blocking my way with her shopping cart in the opposite end of the aisle. I was blocked in.

[Green_Fairy]

aww! cornered by wal-ers ...that's the worst kind of torture. at least you made it out alive and caught your ride...

*snerk*
good little girl...do you have long hair? are you in the least bit feminine? how did he get girl?

[ShadowTiger]

Well, no, but stranger things have happened. Apparently. o.o'

[Green_Fairy]

well golly that's a perfectly understandable mistake...i mean, chickens, buses...they're so easily confusable.

True, except nobody ever died from stepping out in front of a chicken...

[lordlundar]

Man: So how about you be a good little girl (WTF?! In what universe would he think I'm a ...) and tell me where the cameras are.

"Sir, and for the moment you still are one as opposed to a corpse, turn up your god damn hearing aid and listen to me when I say I. DO. NOT. WORK. HERE! Now be a good little idiot and go away before I give in to my dark side."

But then, I'm a mean little bastard...

[ShadowTiger]

Then he'd go up to a Manager and go "Your girl in the electronics area were very rude to me! I demand that she be fired!" To which he'd reply "Sir, we don't have any girls working in the electronic area."

"You hire girly boys to do your dirty work for you!"

[rageaholic]

God that must have been annoying. What part of "I DO NOT WORK HERE" didn't he understand?

And I'm wondering if he was just being a condesending ass when he refered to you as a girl or if he was really that stupid.

[Lachrymose]

"Where are the cameras?"

That should have been your line!

[ShadowTiger]

True. Whenever I'm on break at work without a vest, just walking around, and someone blurts out "Hammers?" (My classic line.) I usually ask "Oh, I was going to ask you the same thing. :| " ... ... but they just stand there with the same expression as if I hadn't said anything. That's incredibly unnerving, because it doesn't even give you an out.

[Green_Fairy]

someone blurts out "Hammers?"

WHAT?! oh gawd noooo!!!! they found meeee!!!!
*run off screaming with arms flailing above head*

Being called a 'good little' anything is condescending all by itself, add girl/boy as opposed to wo/man and the only reason why you're not a corpse is because of the witnesses.

[jjllbb]

At least the old guy is old. He has some excuse. What i want to know is, what's with the snotty random lady who should have minded her own business!?!?
