strange event
okae, this just happened a few minutes ago:
there i was, walking in the mall back towards the parking garage, when one of those kiosks selling hair curlers/straighteners employees says "excuse me" to get my attention.
kiosk guy: "can i ask you a question?"
i stop walking to listen to him.
kiosk guy: "do you curl your hair?"
(trying to find a good way to just end the conversation)me: "no, it's already curly. i got it permed."
before i could turn around, he quickly asks me: "do you ever straighten your hair?"
me: "no. sorry, but i'm in a hurry."
i turn to go, and this other guy (looked like a stereotypical wannabe-thug type wearing a huge t-shirt that made him look like his body shrank) purposefully walked straight at me, his whole body colliding with my left side. i was about to say sorry, thinking that i wasn't looking where i was going, but the wannabe-thug said, grinning:
"i just pick-pocketted you." and he continued to just walk in the opposite direction.
immediately, i check my belongings thinking, wait, my purse is zipped up on my right shoulder, completely protected by being underneath my arm, so that would be impossible for him to have pick-pocketted me.
out of complete shock of what just happened and fury, i quickly walked back to the parking garage.
when i got back to my car, i confirmed my suspicions - nothing was stolen. i could have said so many things to that wannabe guy. i wish i could've said, "what, a piece of lint?" if anything, i keep nothing but tissue in my pockets.
and that kiosk guy. what an idiot and a jerk; i hate pushy salespeople. i mean, i already told him that i permed my hair. why the hell would anyone who just spent nearly $100 to permanently curl her hair want to straighten it again??!?
*fuming*
oakridge mall, thanks again for reminding me what kind of idiots roam your aisles.
