Very Shy To TMI
(I am a cripplingly shy teenage girl, in line at a dollar store. The elderly customer behind me has noticed my shirt, which says ‘Top Ten Reasons I Procrastinate:’, and is otherwise blank.)
Customer: “Hey, I like your shirt! You know, I wanted to procrastinate, but I kept putting it off.”
Me: *laughs nervously*
(The man starts putting his items on the conveyor belt.)
Customer: “We’re gonna have fuuuuun tonight.”
(I glance back and notice that he’s buying 10 bottles of baby oil, and nothing else. I turn bright red and turn away.)
Customer: *laughing* “Aw, I think I scared her.”
(An elderly woman has just come up behind the elderly customer.)
Woman: “What’s that?”
(The customer explains what’s just happened to the woman—his wife.))
Woman: “Oh! Haha!” *she walks up to me* “You see, things tend to dry out when you get older!”
