People Never Cease To Amaze

Most of you all know that I work nights at a gas station on the weekends. As can be imagined, I have run into some pretty interesting people, heard all kinds of stories, and seen all kinds of things. In this short little post I thought that I would give you a list of my favorites (not necessarily in order) so far…

1. A guy brought in a boa constrictor snake around his neck in the middle of the night.
2. Little girl in a dress (SO CUTE) has too much punch, cake, dancing at a wedding… right in the middle of the store…yeah, you guessed it: punch+little+cake+dancing and spinning=Not so cute anymore!
3. Guy with glasses walks, attempts, out the “in” door… WITH HIS FACE!
4. Drunk people in a gas station.
5. A regular noticed my music, practicing for a History of Western Music listening exam, and says “you’re listening to Scarlatti.” True story my fellow HWM classmates!
6. Telling random children “you’re grounded.”
7. Watching a guy, not drive-off, but, rather, walk-off with 10 gallons of fuel.
8. Answering the question “if I put this [cold] sandwich in the microwave, does it become a hot food?”
9. Selling cigarettes with massive “this product causes cancer” signs behind me.
10. A good friend coming to “rob me” with his friends, who didn’t show up, late at night, 9 PM, which ended up with my friend leaving with nothing because he didn’t actually have money to afford the stuff he was going to “steal” for fake.

Well, I hope you enjoy this list. Make sure you pay attention to the people around you in public and just think, what kind of story they will give you to tell your friends. And, think about what kind of impression/story you might be giving others that you have never met before, or potentially ever see again. People are awesome and people never cease to amaze me.

Until the ends…
