I’m grabbing something to eat when the guy behind the counter is unnecessarily talkative. He asked me about my cell phone, and I told him that I bought it at Best Buy.
“Me too,” he replies. “I have mine charging right now, because I just got it today.”
Wonderful.
I don’t even know HOW, but the topic of conversation changes…
Wait, I know. His eyes burst open, so I ask him what was wrong.
“Nothing, two hotties that just came in.”
I turn and look, and two young ladies entered the place, though I wouldn’t call them “Hotties.” I think he felt the same way because he decided to correct himself.
“See, it’s been a dry spell for me.” That should have been it, but no, he continues, saying, “A good year and a half, and I don’t know what happened.
“My girlfriend and I were together, then all of a sudden she’s gone, no way to get a hold of her, nothing.”
Silly me, I ask, “That was a year and a half ago?” Basically, I was just trying to feign compassion so I can get my food and leave.
“Yeah,” he replies. “I’m still waiting for her, too.”
Insert double take. “What do you mean?”
He looks at me as he gets my food which is finally ready. “I call her almost every day, hoping she’ll answer.”
Let it go, son. Let. It. Go.
