Ok, so I was at the Grocery store with my sister. We were just picking up school supplies and random crap that my mom wants because she's odd. So we're just walking by the breakfast grains isle and this old lady with pink hair, yes PINK HAIR and an oddly colored left eye just walks up to us.
She starts rambling to my sister about her days as a child. My sister, still shocked at the fact that this lady has some tall pink hair and an oddly colored eye just rolls with the conversation. Meanwhile, I'm trying not to make eye contact as I muffle my laughter with the sleeve of my jacket.
Eventually, this old lady says, "Oh, you remind me of my daughter. You look just like her when she was a little younger." My sister, not wanting to seem completely uninterested says, "Oh really? How old is she?" The old lady responded with, "Well she would be 28 now. Unfortunately, she died two years ago during an accident." Now I'm starting to think that maybe this lady has some possible issues. My sister later on told me that she had the same feeling as me. "Well, I know this may sound weird, but I want to know if you could please do something for me. Before I leave the store, can you just wave at me and say 'goodbye mom.' You just look so much like my daughter and it would help me get over losing her." Now I'm laughing again, though slightly freaked out at the fact of what this old lady was asking. My sister had a perplexed, yet scared look on her face. "Um, hold on" she told the old woman.
My sister turned to me and I told her that it would be nice to do, and that the lady seemed crazy, so it would be best to just say yes and leave before she does. "Alright.." my sister said. The old lady seems ecstatic and leaves to go do her shopping. Around 6 minutes goes by and we leave to check out. Somehow, we end up in the same line as the old woman and she checks out before we do. She goes to leave, turns, and looks at my sister by the entrance. My sister turns to look at me, and I have no idea what to say. My sister says, "By..Mom," and does a little wave. The old lady scurries off.
So we both walk up to the cashier, happy to finally get rid of the old lady. He scans our stuff and the total comes out to be $345.42, which is ridiculous as we only brought up about $12 worth of items. The cashier said, "Oh, your mother said that you'd take care of her bill."
All I could think was 'Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.' I tell the cashier that there's been a mistake and tell my sister to wait there with the cashier. I run outside and see the old lady scurrying as fast as she can to her over sized minivan. I yell at her and tell her to wait, but she just tries to scuttle faster. She gets into her car with me not far behind. Not thinking, I reach into her car from the open door and grab her leg. "You're not getting away," I yell. I just start pulling. PULLING, PULLING, and PULLING!
Just like how I'm pulling your leg right now.
Anyways, has an awkward situation happened to you at a public place with a stranger? How did you get out of it?
