  • Funny sighting

    I stopped in the bookstore after work because my friend was going to borrow a book for me, and I had a check to cash*, so I was waiting at customer service while she finished helping a customer, a woman and her teenage daughter. As the mom was turning away after ordering her book, the daughter said to my friend, "I just want to let you know, that little kid was picking his nose and then putting his hands all over here" (as she waved her hands over the front of the desk). (Thankfully, I did not see said little kid.)

    *A couple weeks ago we had a bomb threat at work and we got evacuated at noon but we got paid for the full day. So they paid us for 4 hours under some miscellaneous category, but they applied the wrong tax to that part and took out too much. This was in Friday's check, so today we got a check for the difference. Rather than go to the bank, I just had them cash it in the store, since they can cash our paychecks. I am now $11.29 richer than I was yesterday

    At least the kid told you. When I was growing up my mother wouldn't allow us to tell workers anything we saw like that because "they will think you did it".

    And woo hoo to the $11.29! My first check at my new job (part time) was $33, and that money feels so good. I can almost fill up my truck with it.

      Well, she was telling my friend. I just got to laugh and think, ha I don't work here! And her mom rolled her eyes and laughed like, I can't believe you said that

      EDIT: Not like my friend was going to do anything about it...there was no visible evidence to clean up lol

      Yeah, that 11.29 will pay a bit less than half of the gas I put in my car the other day. My gas light came while I was waiting in line at the station
