Witnessed by Old Ladies

Man... you know how much it sucks to have people witness to you? Especially when you're working? Yeah, me too.

And usually, I'm really rude to people like that. Either through debating (though that obviously doesn't work with some) or by just plain being an ass. But this time... I couldn't.

See, we had these two old ladies come in on the 10th (I think...) and they were so cute. Couldn't make up their mind on what cat calendar they wanted. They were deciding between 365 Cats, Cat Naps, and Garfield. How Garfield got in there I don't know, but that's what they decided on after 15min of debate. And not just the box, but the wall calendar too.

Hey, I'm here to please (sort of). If you want to buy two calendars for no particular reason, be my guest.

So they're ringing out and making comments about the Christmas music (yes... it's been on for a while now. Since like... that day. >.o;;;) and I mentioned that I would prefer it after Thanksgiving since that was an important holiday too, and they agreed. By now the sale is rung out and they're getting ready to leave.

BUT NOT QUITE!

Just as they're about to go one of them turned around and pulled out a pamphlet.

You know it's not going to be good after that.

She genuinely seemed worried though. Told me that with the holidays coming up she wanted to make sure I had good faith and could be as happy as possible by knowing where I was going.

Well, I knew she had to be either a Jehovah's Witness, or a Born Again. In the case of the former, all I could do would be to offer her money to offend her and make her leave. Which I really didn't want to offend her because I just don't have the heart to do it to sweet old people. But upon opening the pamphlet, I recognized it to be the latter and kindly declined.

Told her through other circumstances, my soul had already been saved. And she then asked if I knew Jesus Christ was my Lord and Savior, to which I was able to reply that yes, I knew, and I knew that he died on the cross for me.

Her parting words were "Oh, bless your soul. That must be why you're so nice."

She took the pamphlet back and left...

And I CRACKED UP.

Seriously... come on. If anything at least dealing with the bible-thumpers at the county fair got me out of dealing with that lady super easy. But I don't really practice any faith at all and here I was convincing a poor old lady I did.

Man... I'm such a sinner. Lying like that to my elder. x'DDD

Ohhhh, how some people amuse me. LOL
