I Want To Return This Item To The Past

(I am an artist working primarily with fancy art markers that you buy individually. I am looking for a particular color marker I need to finish a project. The first store I visit is sold out so I go to a second store.)

Cashier: *after searching the inventory* “Yeah, sorry. It looks like we’re sold out of that color right now.”

Me: “The last store was out of that color, too. Someone out there must also be doing a marker project and is using a large amount of the exact color I need and they came in and bought all of this color marker in all the art supply stores before me!”

Cashier: “MAYBE IT WAS YOU FROM THE FUTURE!”

Me: *bursts out laughing*

Cashier: *shrugs* “I just thought I’d throw a plot twist in there.”

(I’ve never laughed so hard at not finding what I wanted.)
