Weird And Warming Thoughts
(It’s a slow night at work and it’s cold. I decide to verbally air my thoughts aloud and didn’t realize people were around me.)
Me: “Man, it’s cold in this store. I wish they’d fix that.”
Customer: “Are you serious? Like, are you for real?”
Me: “Excuse me, ma’am? Is there anything I can help you with?”
Customer: “No, but you didn’t answer my question. Were you talking to anyone specifically or were you talking to yourself?”
Me: “Uhhh, no, ma’am. Just kinda talking to myself. Ya know?”
Customer: “Why?”
Me: “Why not?”
Customer: “You shouldn’t do that.”
Me: “Oh? Why’s that?”
Customer: “Talking to yourself is weird. Only weirdos with mental issues do that. People will say stuff about you.”
Me: “Oh. That sounds pretty neat.”
Customer: “Um… okay, then.”
(She gave me a weird look and quickly shambled away.)
