That's NY for ya..

I just had to share my crazy experience. So I'm at WalliMart today to get some dog food, and this old lady comes up to me and asks me what my name is. She said she just had to know because I looked exactly like her deceased daughter, which is sad, but creepy, nonetheless. Anyways, she seemed like a really sweet lady, so I was talking with her for a few minutes, when she asked me the strangest question. She asked me if I would accompany her around the store while she did her shopping. I said okay, she was old, maybe she needed help. We're walking through the toys section to pick out something for her grandson (probly a little homosexual, due to us looking at the barbies..I didn't ask questions) and she calls me "Emma"..I quickly corrected her, where she, in turn, quickly corrected ME saying that's her late daughter's name and she would like to call me that if it was okay. Again, creeped out, but hey, good deeds usually don't go unnoticed, right? Whatever. I didn't catch her name and since she made one up for me, I called her Betty. She asked me to call her Mom. MOM?! This is going too far..but I had nothing better to do, and I agreed. We continue on and looked for a greeting card for her dead husband's birthday...Again, sad, but...eh. Moving on..to groceries. This is a long process, since she only moves about 1 step for every 3 I could take..Finally the cart is full and I was hoping I would be relieved of my duties to play house. Wrong. I had to help her unload the groceries and other various goods onto the check out counter. Almost everything gets bagged and she decided she wanted to call me Emma one more time, where I responded by calling her Mom...big mistake. She asked the bagboy to help her to her car with the groceries that were already bagged up, and asked me to find an associate to double check a couple prices..When I got back to the register the cashier was standing there looking at me, as if she was waiting for something...but what? Then it happened..."You're mother told me you'd be paying. You're a good daughter." I ran. Fast. I caught her in the parking lot and started screaming. "You SCAMMED[/colorc76d9b01e2] me?! Do you even have a dead daughter?! OR HUSBAND?!" I got in her face, old as she was, and of course, since it's how my luck goes, she fell. I guess she was afraid of me kicking her in the face because she grabbed my leg and started pulling on it..kind of like what I'm doing to you right now.. lol You know you like it.

HUGE lol if this is true.

I've heard this before...I think I saw it on the urban legends show on TLC.

FON It says she's joking at the end of the post.


I read this years ago, quite old. And it's not like you'd be obligated to pay for her groceries anyway.

FON only read the cliffnotes. ;)

THATS AWESOME! Way to stand up to old folk!!!

there was a joke behind it...and i should probably take it down one of these days....but really it just comes down to the fact that i have little desire to do something with such a low time/reward ratio.
