    i met a time traveller...?

    ok... im new to this forum so this is my first post@!
    Just a few mins ago i met a time traveler and/or wizard at my c-store!
    im an overnight c-store clerk in some college town on the east coast.

    it is 430 in the morning and some guy with a fedora and a red scarf came in to buy some snacks or whatever.

    ill copy the format you guys use when telling about these things

    TW = time wizard, dr who style!
    G = gateau = me
    RG = random girl who came in after he left the first time

    im in the back filling up the mop bucket to swab the deck when some guy came in to the back where i was, looking for chocolate milk. i point to where it is and move my bucket to the front and go behind the counter to serve him.

    TW - i met a time traveler on the bus just now.
    G - wow.. great.. your total is $7.17
    TW - what do you think about magic?
    g- do you mean the card game? (yeah i play it...)
    TW - no i mean like harry potter
    G- well... it makes for good reading...
    TW - i mean real magic
    G - that is kind of contradictory since magic *isn't* real
    TW - have you ever met a wizard before?
    G- uhh i have to go clean the floor excuse me...

    so i walk to the bucket grab the mop and hurry to the back of store to begin.. he follows me and continues:

    TW - can i speak a foreign language to you to see if you understand?
    G - uh. sorry i probably wont since i don't speak any foreign languages
    TW - "blahblahgarbledgook" random sounds ect.
    G- hmm i don't even recognize language...
    TW - its the language of time travelers and wizards. (continues gibbering at me)
    G- oh.. great...
    TW - i just asked you in *time traveler/wizard* if i was making you uncomfortable and if you wanted me to leave
    G - yeah you kind of are. you can go...
    TW - (more gibberish), then " i just said ill go if you tell me to go"
    G - oh.. right.. please leave
    TW - thanks for being polite *leaves*

    few mins later

    RG - omg theres some crazies walking around out there
    G - a time traveler and/or wizard, right
    RG - yah, he said meeting him just now was the most important event in my life or something
    G- uh huh...

    she buys her cigs or whatever and goes

    i continue mopping up when TW comes back into the store, apparently on his "phone"

    he walks the circumference of the store (right where i just mopped GRRR) and right out the door, buying nothing. he was talking to his phone in the same weird language... loudly so i would notice it..

    1. How would he know if it was a time traveler? What does a time traveler look like? Would they be dressed differently, give different vibes, what?

    2. Magic IS real, if you believe in it being nothing more than using candles/herbs/oils/certain astrological conditions/chants/prayers to deities or spirits to make a change in your life: more money, a new love, protection, etc.

    3. *high fives* Another New Englander! Welcome to the boards. I've got the brain bleach, Whiskey's got the Whiskey, Jester's got the booze and someone will come along with cookies in a bit.

      He was probably wearing a bowtie. Or perhaps a fez. Or maybe he had a celery stalk in his pocket. Who knows.

        I think you were being pranked. This guy went to too much trouble to dress the part.

        *offers cookies* Welcome aboard!

            Oooh, you missed out on several good replies which could have shut him up . . .

            "If magic was real, I would not need to be here today. And neither would you."
            "Magic, like Harry Potter? No, it's usually more complex than that. I'd show you, but I ran out of belladonna."
            "If you are a time traveler, and you are from the future, can you please go back a little further and ask yourself to try a different location? Thanks."

              Nothing like a random nutcase to liven up a slow day at work.

              I haz Girl Scout cookies. Here, you can haz some too! Peanut butter, lemon sandwich cookies or dulce de leche...mmmmm...

                a time traveler? too bad he didn't travel back to 17th century New England instead...they'd have given him a welcome he wouldn't forget.

                Sorry, but while I can do many things, extracting heads from anuses isn't one of them. (so sayeth the irv)

                    Welcome and good to meet you!

                    I once worked at a gas station. Had my own fair share of assorted nuts.

                    One guy in particular who stands out to me was the guy (and this was when ear-buds were newer and much larger, he was not wearing one) who walked into the store having a full blown argument/debate with himself.

                    After he left and I was just standing there like this a regular customer came in and said there was a man parked next to a gas pump who was yelling at himself. I looked out the window, and there he was, now with arms flaring

                      Welcome, here is a beverage and some snacks.
                      Here's your goggles, gas mask, hazmat suit, and big rubber gloves, you'll need them for the crazies. Plus, it looks good.
                      That sounds like something me and my brother would do, we sometimes do stuff like that to cheer up people at work, but we don't try to annoy them...

                        Not to threadjack but to the OP, are you aware your name (although missing an accent mark) is French for cake?

                          Or a really long multi colored scarf. Single color ones don't count. I don't know of any time travelers with fedoras or fez's.
