Animout ...

I'm going to try to keep this one short. So I was at the grocery store today during my lunch cause I really wanted a snack. Had it not been for my unwavering snack craving I would not have this little anecdote to share with you today, so next time you see her, thank my IFG for this one.

I'm in the pudding isle trying to find some pudding. Apparently I didn't find it quick enough because I was there for just enough time for someone to approach me. "Excuse me, miss" I hear. I look up surprised cause I couldda sworn I was in the isle alone. There standing in front of me is this random dude. I don't know where the heck he appeared from, but he was surely on stealth mode cause I didn't even register his presence until he spoke. He proceeds to ask me if I have a husband or a boyfriend. Now of course with that question, I know where this conversation is going. I look at him from head to toe and immediately know I am completely and totally uninterested, 100%. By now I would think that I would have learned to LIE when people like this ask me that question. Had I lied, the conversation would have ended right then and there. No story to tell, no jokes to be made, no laughs to be had... unfortunately my supremely scrupulous inner conscious implores me to tell the truth, so I do.

This random, who I later find out is named Roger, asks me if he can give me his number. I'm thinking...Do I want his number? Of course not. Am I going to call him? Hell no. CAN he give it to me? um, I guess he can if he wants to, although I don't see the point. But he doesn't know all that. So I'm just like, whatever. I didn't have my cell phone so I thought I was gonna get off. I think this dude is about to hand me a business card right? Wrong! I take the card, look at it, and I pause. This isn't a business card this is a... a bus transfer?!?!?! And why does he hand me bus transfer that ALREADY HAS HIS NAME AND NUMBER ON IT!?!?! Then he's like, yeah I'm riding the bus at the moment. Really? ya don't say? I never wouldda guessed that seeing as you just handed me a bus transfer with today's date on it. I didn't say that, but it's what I was thinking. But that's not the best part. Yes, there is more, but let's just pause here for a second. You just so happened to have your name and number already written down on your bus transfer of all things? Really? Ok, moving on...

Ever have someone say something to you that you have no words for? Well after Roger hands me the bus transfer, he tells me that the number on there is a shared number for where he's staying... at a halfway house.
