I usually don't run into anything like weird people out in stores or anything. I'm like the opposite of Lupo honestly, I repel rude people (it's probably the look on my face, I look like I murder people in my basement most of the time). But this was very very odd. I was in a store at the mall by me and I had my stuff and was CLEARLY standing in a line. I was 2nd in line and this woman comes up to the side of me, standing fairly close and just stares at me.
STARES INTENTLY.
Finally I turn my head a little and she practically yells: "ARE YOU IN LINE?!" I say that I am and she gets behind me with her kid who's holding all his stuff.
This is where I turn invisible. I must have had some weird sort of cloaking device because when it's my turn the kid walks up to the counter next to me (it's a large counter) and puts down his stuff, blocking me from the card swiper thing. I'm looking at him like..."wtf are you doing???" and his mother isn't doing a damn thing about it.
Cashier saw the whole thing and realizes what's going on so she tries to do the subtle, "Are you together?" and I say very loudly, "NO." FINALLY the kid's mom jerks him backwards and yells at him to back off. It was her redemption really but they both stood WAY too close to me, like they were breathing down my neck as I checked out.
It was probably the strangest thing I've had happen to me when I wasn't working.
Story the Second: Same Day, different store.
Got asked again if I worked somewhere. But it was more like, "Are you working here?" from this little old lady. I don't know how she could have gotten that impression since I was geeking out with my friend over these cooking spoons that have faces on them. She seemed really angry when I said I didn't work there but she didn't smartmouth me or anything. I just think she thought I was lying.
I really don't get why this happens. I don't wear anything out of the ordinary T-shirt and cargos or jeans. My hair looks really spiffy so maybe I look professional from that? Who knows. It just gets annoying when everyone and their cousin thinks I work someplace.
Ten bucks she complained that I wouldn't help her.
