Yuck and weird

[NightAngel]

This isn't as gross as many things I've read here but this lady come in and hands me a frying pan. It's full of grease and food bits. Apparently, it had been laying in the parking lot just as though someone had fried up some dinner out there and left it.

I got grease all over my hands- yuck.

You want to guess how often people leave their used frying pans in front of a video store? First time for everything I suppose.

Weird.

[powerboy]

Oh my. That is nasty.

[Banrion]

But why? Why would she bring it to you? Why not just throw it out? Video stores & frying pans do not go together in my world.

[Knightmare]

Exactly! Why did she hand it to you? But more importantly, WHY DID YOU TAKE IT?

[upsidedown_orchid]

So... strange...

[NightAngel]

There is no outside trash can which is why she brought it inside to throw away. There used to be but we think someone stole it. Go figure.

I took it because I don't want the outside of my store to look trashy. To me a nasty old frying pan in the parking lot looks trashy. Besides, I wasn't going to make a potential paying customer (which she did wind up buying quite a bit) upset over it.

I'll reserve my battles for used tissues or soiled diapers.

Sides, you can clean the pan and use it to recreate classic Tom n Jerry scenes when its slow

That or a scene from "The Beverly Hillbillies." Remember Granny chasing Jethro w/the cast iron skillet?

[Becks]

Well, that's a new one. A frying pan?
