Ok, this happened awhile ago, but I need to share...
I was at Giant Eagle one day after work, picking up a couple COMPLETELY un-related things (as is the norm with me at stores, today I bought a CD and Listerine from Target). Anyways, I'm standing in line and this woman (a little older than me, but still my age) strikes up a conversation. We talk for a min and then go back to standing in line. Now I'm standing there thinking "damn, this very attractive blonde just started talking to me for no reason... That's AWESOME!" and I kept thinking about all the articles I've read online about how people are now using the grocery store to find dates (although I didn't believe a word of it.
So I played it cool...
And she started talking to me again! So it was at this point I became suspicious, and I had to do "the check" and every single person my age knows what "the check" is. For the rest of you, I had to check and see if she was wearing a wedding ring.
Get this shit... she was! so that's when I'm officially thinking to myself "WHAT THE FUCK? Why is this person talking to me" and while all this is going on I'm trying to pay the cashier and everything (in retrospect, it was chaos). So anyways, as I finish my transaction, she drops the bomb on me and explains why she's talking to me. She asks if I keep my business options open outside of my job, I said yeah, so she pops up with "My husband works with several businessmen in the area, if you give me your name and number, I'll have him call you to talk to you about it". Fine, whatever, gave her my digits and left.
The fucker ends up calling me and tells me "What he does is rather complicated, so he'd like to meet with me somewhere to talk about it", and the whole time I'm thinking, great, this fucker is in a pyramid scheme and thinks he has a better shot of convincing me in person. But I figure "whatever, fuck it why not, it could be entertaining" we set up a time to meet at a coffee shop, I got sick and cancel, and I never called him back to set up another meeting...
In the end I think I avoided getting annoyed at some guy trying to get me into a pyramid scheme. But it's just a big fucked up story I had to share. Who sends their wife to the grocery store to look for and coerce potential "business partners"?
