I thought I would share some recent strange interactions that I've had-- mostly with men. Another time I'll write about my strange experiences with men from years ago. It might take me a while to remember all of them. Because I'm lazy, I'm just going to upload the text messages of the events. I like to text people in real-time whenever strange things happen. Mostly because I like to read the reactions I get. Below is a conversation I had with a family member; my part in blue:
I got to Trader Joe's a lot. I was there last week and I didn't know if I should avoid the peanut butter/sticker cashier or specifically go to his line. After I got to the store I decided I would go in his line, just for the entertainment value. Then when it was time to check out he wasn't there. I admit I felt a bit let down.
A few weeks ago I was at Walmart and I needed to pick up an item that had been ordered online. When I got to the order pickup area, a man in a stained navy blue t-shirt said to me quite out of the blue, "You smell wonderful". Which was a nice thing to say I guess. But he was a COMPLETE STRANGER and I didn't really know what to say, other than thank you. It felt weird. Then I kept running in to him around the store and I kept getting a "stranger danger" vibe.
A week or so later I was at Walmart again and I had this text conversation with a friend:
The "Did anyone smell you" question made me laugh hysterically. I probably made the Bluetooth lady seem quite sane by comparison.
While on the topic of Walmart, my son and I saw this last night in the toy department:

Thanks for always keeping it classy Walmart.
