We have a couple who stop in weekly. They are....interesting. Is "interesting" a good word to describe people who are patently WEIRD? If so, then yes, they are interesting. A few years ago their kids were removed by SRS because their house was loaded with cat feces....oh, yeah, and the husband was making the kids speak Klingon. (You can't make this stuff up!) The husband is a little Manson-like in appearance; I can see him speaking Klingon as he's flinging cat feces...we'll call them Mr. and Mrs. Klingon from now on. (I'm sure there will be more stories about them to come!)
About two months ago Mr. and Mrs. Klingon entered the store, and Mrs. K. came over to a customer I was waiting on. The two had never met in their lives. The wife announces that her husband is cheating on her with one of his co-workers, and she's gonna kick both their asses! The customer was shocked and didn't know what to say; I was thinking, "WHO would sleep with that nasty guy?" but just tried to appear sympathetic to the distraught wife. After the husband and wife left, the lady leaned over to me and whispered, 'Who'd WANT his ass?" I couldn't help but almost wet my pants laughing!
Last week, Mrs. Klingon came into the store and asked me if she could borrow $5 or more. Now, having already lost an amazing sum of money in my young-and-stupid days loaning money to 'hard up' people who never repaid it, I've learned my lesson and the bank is closed. I told her sorry, I don't carry cash. She went on about how she needed to pay her phone and load some more minutes on it so she could talk on it; she just knew I'd have some money she could have until payday. I reiterated, with an apologetic shrug, sorry, I don't carry cash, I only use a debit card. Mrs. K. was so disappointed. It would never dawn on most adults to ask a stranger for money to put on their prepaid phone card, right? Tell me I'm right?
