- Rob,
- Nice one.. *grin* Here's one I like better.
-
- You get all the people together and start telling them of a story they
- WON'T believe, that happened to you earlier that day.
-
- Well, it started out in "Village Inn/insert your fav. family
- type food place" and I was eating lunch minding my own business when I
- noticed this lady staring at me while I was eating.
- Not really worrying about it, I continued eating, but almost
- every time I looked up that lady was staring at me!
- Well about halfway through my meal I had to go to the
- bathroom, and as I got up the same lady just stared at me and watched
- as I walked to the restroom.
- On the way back to the table she again stares at me, so I'm
- getting kind of pissed off, and decide to confront her about it. I
- walk over to her table and say in a peeved voice, "Excuse me but WHY
- do you keep staring at me?"
- She says" I'm sorry, buy you remind me so much of my son. You
- look very much like him and are about the same age."
- Then I said, "Yeah, so?!?!? I don't appreciate you staring at
- me while I'm eating, it's beginning to bother me."
- She says, "I'm very sorry, but when I saw you I thought you
- were my son."
- Me saying, "SO?!?"
- She says, "Well, he died a few months ago, and I still miss
- him. I'm sorry if I was staring, I'll stop now."
- (Me, feeling like scum of the earth) says, "Oh, I'm sorry. I
- didn't mean to be so rude towards you about it."
- She says, "No, that's quite allright. Will you do me a favor?"
-
- Well at this point I just wanted to go back to my table and
- finish eating my lunch so I said, "sure why not."
- She says, "When I leave would you say bye mom?"
- I then start to think this lady is crazy, but I just want to
- get away from her so I say sure, I'll say "Bye mom when you leave."
- And then head off to my table.
-
- Well I'm almost finished and I notice she is done and about to
- leave and she looks over at me and smiles. She then heads over to the
- counter and starts towards the door and I call out "Bye mom."
- She just smiled and waved at me and left.
-
- I then start finishing my food when the waitress comes over
- and gives me two tickets. I ask her why the second one, and she said
- that "my mother" told her I would pay for her meal.
-
- At this point I'm ready to kill this lady and see her just
- about to get into her car, so I run out of the store and confront her.
- I say, "There is no way in hell I'm gonna pay for your food lady" And
- she just laughs at me and says "Oh well" and then starts to sit down
- on the seat. I'm gonna kill her and start pulling the seatbelt out
- from her hands threatening to call the cops and then proceed to get
- her out of the car, so I start pulling on her coat, and then start
- pulling on her leg,
- Just like I'm pulling yours!!! ;-)
