It's been a few months since I last posted something in my blog....since September actually. Wow! I guess that means nothing has happened in the world to spark my interest enough to blog about it, until today! I try to stay away from the ghetto Walmart in town, mainly because well, it's ghetto! We're talking straight up white trash with a side of prostitution. Today I sucked it up and went to the ghetto Walmart because I needed to get a few things, more or less a quick stop which should have been uneventful. Nope!
My shopping trip in itself was fairly uneventful except the hoards of people blocking the aisles and looking at you like you have 6 heads when you say "excuse me". I know, politeness is not part of these peoples world! I get to the checkout and the cashier starts telling me how his best friend (who is female) thinks he looks like Johnny Depp and how most women think Johnny Depp is SO hot. It was a very weird, awkward moment that I could not escape fast enough but not before telling him I think Johnny Depp is disgusting. Finally, I can make my way to the parking lot and get out of this shit hole.
I load my bags into my vehicle, return the cart to the corral and get in my car. This is where my trip went downhill. There wasn't a car parked on my passenger side and suddenly a hobo looking guy appeared. I locked my doors super fast, as he was only 3 inches from my door. He was way creepy and I'm not one to get weirded out by people that easily. He made his way to the front of my vehicle, literally about 6 inches from my front end. He started making weird motions with his hands, saying something and was looking under my car. WTF! So now I'm thinking there is something under my car that shouldn't be there but don't dare get out and find out whats up. He travels over to my side of the car and motions for me to roll down my window. I roll it down just far enough (barely 2 inches) to hear what he says. He starts talking about how his car broke down, the radiator hose blew up, his car is parked over at Applebees and the parts store is telling him he only has $3 on his credit card and he needs $14 more to buy the hose and repair his car. Then he asks me for money. I politely tell him I don't have any and good luck.
In the midst of our brief conversation, a car pulled into the parking spot on my passenger side. Naturally, he left my car and went to panhandle from that car. I notice the lady (maybe early 20's) has 3 young children in the car, the oldest being maybe 3 years old. When the guy walks up to her car, he's making the same weird hand gestures and she rolls her window all the way down and talks to him. He's leaning on her car, they are talking and I'm guessing she said she didn't have any money either cuz he walked away quickly. At this point I had to say something to her. I rolled down my window and asked her WTF she was thinking rolling her window all the way down for a strange man. At first she was appalled that I was saying anything, I don't think she was following me why I was even saying anything to begin with. First of all, there has been a string of robberies in the broad daylight the last few weeks. Secondly, she has a car full of kids for Christ sakes! I don't remember what my exact words were but it was something to the effect of her being a total dumbass for allowing a stranger that close to her children, opening the window for him to do god knows what. Finally, after a few minutes of me having to explain to this dumb ass why what she did was retarded she thanked me and said "oh my god, I never even thought about that. My parents tell me to watch out for people and be weary of strangers but I never really knew why" SERIOUSLY?? Ugh! I had to roll up my window and leave cuz that would have started a whole new argument. Some people....for real.
