Years ago a very, very drunk man unsteadily approached my friend and I in the street. He was squinting at his watch and closing one eye to try and read it. When he finally got to us he asked “Is it 10 in the morning or 10 at night?”.

Many years ago while waiting outside a restaurant in New York City with my husband, his sister, and her husband, this lady came up to me and said “I love your coat, where’d you get it?“After I told her I got it from a thrift store, she started excitedly saying stuff like “I think that coat is designer, you could probably sell it for a lot of money, I’d love a coat like this” etc., and the whole time she was grabbing different parts of the coat and examining them like she was appraising it or whatever, and then she suddenly just quit and walked off without saying another word.I’m pretty sure she was just trying to distract me while she looked for my purse or searched my pockets or something but the joke was on her because I wasn’t carrying a purse and my husband had everything in his pockets so there was nothing to take lol.

Do you want to see the elephants.Someone said this to me in the mall. It took years to find out what tf they were talking about. I looked at them all confused and they walked away.Later I found out they were trying to sell me acid. Oddly enough it was my exhusband as teenagers. I was talking about the odd time someone asked me about elephants at the mall and he started laughing. Not the only time we had run into each other when we were younger. Another time I was walking out of someone’s house and we had a hey what’s up moment and went about our business.
