Ok. Shit has gotten real. I mean really, this has crossed into shear lunacy. So about two hours ago I'm walking to the library to renew the laptop I've been using. It takes, tops, 10min to walk there. As I'm in front of Walgreen's just about to cross the street to the library. As I approach the corner I come across these two black girls I see pretty regularly who sell candy to go to some basketball game. I don't know which though, they don't look like students so maybe it's high school basketball? Anyway, because it's break and there are only a handful of people in the city, they immediately approach me and ask if I would buy a bar. Well I didn't have any cash on me and I usually make it a point to not buy food on the street, since it's usually not the healthiest, so I declined. I go to the library and take care of the laptop business and leave to go home. As I cross back towards Walgreen's I remember that I'm out of milk and diet coke, so I stop in. While there I also pick up some popcorn and a pack of gum. When I walk out the girls are still there and they eye my bag for an uncomfortably long time. The older looking one of the two turns towards me and demands an explanation: "I thought you said you ain't got no money???" followed by the other one's "YEAH!" Now, again, in my defense this follows the other three incidents of public impropriety, so I could only raise an eyebrow until it disappeared somewhere into my hairline and responded with:
"For someone who just asked a service from some else no less that five minutes ago, it's beyond presumptuous- not to mention rude- to assume how they paid for their personal items and then demand an answer. For your information, I used my card. Goodnight..."
"Well, I was just..."
"I said goodnight!"
