Like A Certain Bunny, He Just Keeps Going

(I work at a movie rental store. One night, a strange man comes into my store and asks me a question.)

Customer: *without making eye contact* “Do you guys have batteries?”

Me: “No, I’m sorry, but we don’t have batteries.”

Customer: “Are you sure? ‘Cause… uh… I was sure you guys had batteries.”

Me: “Yeah, I’m sure we don’t have batteries.”

Customer: “I could have sworn you guys carried batteries.”

Me: “No batteries, sorry.”

(For five minutes, he keeps asking me if I was sure that we didn’t carry batteries. He eventually leaves. A friend of mine who works at the store next to mine comes in about a half-hour later.)

Me: “Batteries?”

Friend: “Yeah! How did you know?”
