An Idiom In Sheep’s Clothing
(I am a running through a rather elderly lady’s groceries.)
Me: “Did you find everything all right today, ma’am?”
Customer: “Yes, I did. Well…”
Me: “Anything I can help you with?”
Customer: “Your shirt is nice; such a lovely material. I will add that to my purchase, please.”
Me: “Oh. Well, actually, I purchased this at [clothing store].”
Customer: “Yes, I’ll take your shirt please.”
Me: “Um, ma’am, I’m afraid I am unable to give you my shirt.”
Customer: “No, I’m the customer. You asked if I needed anything. I need your shirt!”
(At this point, she attempts to pull it off of me. Upon seeing a fleet of coworkers heading towards me, she runs out of the store, leaving her groceries behind.)
Manager: “What did she want?!”
Me: “Literally the shirt off my back!”
