Something To Shout About
GROCERY STORE | RIGHT | JULY 7, 2016
(I’m walking into a local grocery store like any other day, when suddenly I hear a guy behind me shout something very loudly and incoherently for no discernible reason. Obviously, this scares the living daylights out of me. I turn around and see two men and a woman walking behind me. The woman, whom I assume to be the older gentleman’s wife, has clearly seen me jump out of my skin and smacks her arm across his chest in a scolding manner. I say nothing and go about my business. Later, as I’m checking out
Cashier: “I saw what happened when you came in. You okay?”
Me: “Yeah, I’m fine. A little unnerved, though.”
Cashier: “The guy who yelled at you was getting an earful from his wife when they came in.”
Me: “Well, I’d imagine so…”
Another Cashier: “No, she was PISSED! She said something along the lines of, ‘What the H*** is wrong with you?!’ and ‘You might be a walking heart attack waiting to happen but that doesn’t mean you can give someone else one!’”
(I and the other cashier started laughing. Later I found a note on my windshield saying, “Sorry my idiot husband scared you.”)
