My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
As you may have read in my subway post last week, city life lends itself to witnessing the unusual.
However, sometimes I witness things that even “I” can’t believe I witness. Because after all these years of living in a city, I thought I was immune to being shocked.
....I thought.
Sometimes I see things and say to myself, “Is it me, or are some people just plain FREAKS?”
I witnessed two things last week that took the Olympic gold medal for Best In Freak Show.
Allow me to say that what I'm about to share with you is 100% true. Yet, if someone was to tell me this I think I would believe they made it up.
But you know what they say….real life is often times stranger than fiction.
-----------------------------------------
First up, was a man who came into the store and decided to use the Q-tips on one of the cosmetic counters to clean his ears.
Yes, you heard me…TO CLEAN HIS FILTHY EARS.
I watched, as this Neanderthal man took a handful of wooden Q-tips and then proceeded to SWAB his ears, whilst nonchalantly walking through the cosmetic department.
Now, that’s not the most freakish part. The most freakish part was that after he swabbed his ears, he tossed the Q-tips on the floor; leaving them for all of us to look at.
And can I tell you?
This man did not only have a few potato’s growing out of his ears, but more like every potato field in the state of Idaho.
He was Mr. Potato Head.
And what truly appalled me about his nasty deed was that he acted as if he was entitled to do this; without so much as a look around to see if anyone was even watching him.
I stood there bug-eyed, as he deposited his last Q-tip on the floor and then sashayed out the front door, whistling.
----------------------------------------
Second up, was a woman I saw walking through my department with her dog on a leash. Personally, I see nothing wrong with people walking their small, well-behaved dogs through a store, however many find it offensive and feel it should not be allowed.
After witnessing what I’m about to share with you, I may have to change my mind and agree.
As this woman got closer to the exit door of the store, she stopped to look at something in one of the cosmetic cases. It was then, that her dog lifted its leg and PEED all over one of the visual displays. She saw the dog do this, but instead of picking the canine up, she allowed it to completely empty its bladder and then SCURRIED out of the store.
All of us sale associates just stood there with our mouths hanging down to the floor and looked at one another, saying in unison and pointing, “ OMG…CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT SHE JUST DID?”
And it was fun to stand there and guard it, so that the other customers wouldn’t accidentally walk into it until housekeeping got there to clean up the hefty pool of doggie piddle.
So, I ask you…..
aren’t some people just plain FREAKS?
Note: Thank you ladies and gentlemen for sharing your advice and feeback on my last post. I so appreciated it....X
