About a month ago, while grocery shopping, I went to the aisle with the laundry supplies to pick up a jug of detergent. When I got there, a young woman asks me for help getting to a bottle of fabric softener from the top shelf – it’s pushed back on the shelf to where she can’t reach it.
So, I say ‘sure’, and hand the bottle down to her.
She then makes a show of setting the bottle down on another shelf, says ‘Fuck you’ to me, and walks away with her friend, laughing.
Okay, it seemed a little odd to me. But, I just shrugged and went on with my business, and didn’t give it another thought until Monday night – when I got burned again in a similar setup.
I mentioned this to a friend at work, who said he, too, had been the target of this particular prank.
Obviously, this is a trend of some sort. Being an older fellow, I don’t always get the joke, and this one has me completely baffled.
Can somebody clue me in? What’s the appeal in this? Is this just the latest Really Stupid Annoying Thing To Do? And exactly how pathetic is your life if you consider this to be ‘fun’?
