(little old ladys, dollars, and such!) POST PEOPLE!
We need more people to post their stories >.<
Come on everyone I know you have one or two freaky experiences!
For Instance I walked to the local library with my friends Katie and Jessica the other day. We had to get hamburger buns afterwards for dinner, so we went to Walgreen's after we left the library. We walked all around the store for a minute then gave up on looking for the buns. We waited on the ladies at the counter to quit their gabbing so we could ask. Once we figured out we'd walked past it twelve times we finally snatched up two packages of the buns. The thing was that after paying late fees for books at the library we were short about a dollar.
Jessica, Katie, and me all freaked out, We'd get so much crap from Katie's mom if we didn't get them. So I suggested we ask someone for a dollar. Katie and Jessica, both shy as flip, refused to. This left me, so I was screwed into it. I don't like people very much, but I am very good with people.
So I turned around and found my person. This elderly lady and her granddaughter where in the isle next to us. So I put on my sweet little girl face, fixed my jacket and went up to this complete stranger. "Excuse me ma'am, My sisters and me came to the store to buy hamburger buns for our mom, but we're short a dollar. I was wondering, if we could ma'am, may we please borrow a dollar?"
No crap. I said EXACTLY THAT. Oh my gosh I could've punched myself in the face. I waited for the old lady to get us kicked out, but that didn't happen. She chuckled at me a little, probably because of my Oscar worthy performance, and replied "A Dollar?"
"Yes ma'am" She got out her wallet and gave me a dollar. Oh my god this lady gave me a dollar! THERE ARE STILL KIND PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD! I turned to Katie and Jessica and held up the dollar. Katie's face was buried in the beef jerky and Jessica was trying to pull her out. I quickly spun back around to the lady, "Thank you so very much ma'am!" I heard Jessica say thank you and Katie mumbled something I think. We did it. We bought the buns. We felt amazing, realizing there still are good people in the world.
Anyway, people, please tell your tales, there are so many of us, why can't we all tell our little old lady stories?! This place would be filled with dollars, and candy, and that old lady scented powder, and those little packages of Kleenexes, and something fun for us all to laugh at.
Peace -
