Foot in Mouth
Alright, thought I would share a somewhat embarrassing experience I encountered.
I normally stop in at a gas station each day on my way to work to get some Krispy Kreme's (mmmm....krispy kremes). Anyway, the guy that works overnight (I go to work at about 4 am) is a somewhat strange character. He talks to himself specifically. And I don't mean the normal way either...he has full on conversations where he agrees and disagrees with himself and offers opposing views. Other than that, very nice guy.
Well, I went in later in the morning on my day off and as I was paying, was briefly talking to the girl at the register. I didn't really know her, but enough for casual talk. As she was ringing up my stuff, I asked her if there was anything wrong with the guy that works overnight. She then asked what do you mean? I proceeded to explain the self conversations fairly similar to the way I did above. She got quiet for a sec, you could tell she was thinking about it...then stated
You know, I've never noticed it and we've been married for 7 years.
Doh!
Needless to say, I will now have to go elsewhere for my Krispy Kreme. What are the odds that those two would be married? I can only imagine the shade of red I turned.
Another Homer moment.

I don't know which is scarier, the guy that has multi-level conversations with himself or his wife that doesn't notice a thing...
Krispy Kremes are worth finding somewhere else...

Now that's funny!
but the question is which is funnier: the guy who converses with himself, the wife who didn't notice, or savageghost telling the wife her hubby is odd.
I suspect the poor guys wife doesn't let him get a word in edgewise at home, so he has to speak his mind when she is not around.
Anyway, I doubt she told him, so go right ahead and continue to get your krispy kremes there.
I encounter quite a few night shift people, and I can tell you they are a bit quirky. Mostly alright, but a bit quirky you know?
I must have that kind of face because they just spill all kinds of things about their job, and personal life. I have even met a few that Jerry Springer would love to chat with. I just figure they need to vent, so I just let it go in one ear and out the other.
Sometimes I find myself privy to both sides of the story, (they don't know that I know the person or coworker they are talking about) and I have to hold back my thoughts (or laughter) until I get back in my truck.
I learned long ago (and sometimes still get reminded now and then) to keep my mouth shut.
It's a small world after all.DANG DANG! DANG!!™
I know ***** ripped off everybody else, but they wouldn't do it to me.
