Unfiltered Story #259759

My dad is at a store buying some large items, so an employee helps him bring his purchases out to his car. My dad likes to make small talk with retail workers, so he strikes up a conversation with the guy who is helping him. It happens that I have a friend who works at this store, so my dad mentions the friend’s name. After my dad leaves, as told to me later, the employee approaches my friend and says the following:

“Some guy asked me if I knew you. He was kind of weird.”

My dad was initially a little embarrassed about being characterized as such, but ultimately laughed it off. He is well aware that he can come across as a bit quirky sometimes, and many people appreciate him for it.
