  • Ok. I admit it. I was dumb.

    For the past few weeks I've been sick with a cold and being a retail slave means I still have to work. Last week I was coughing so bad I couldn't breath. Fun times. Sunday I set out for work late and realized I had no cigarettes. Stop off at the 7-11 at the end of my road and realize I left my wallet at home. I keep and emergency credit card in the card so I decided to just use that. (Now the fun part: I realize I look young and get carded alot but the two owners and two other employees generally recongize me. Also note: I was wearing a hat) Go in grab a soda, go up front and request my Malboros. Kid asks for ID. This was were it gets bad. I was kinda confused cause this kid graduated from my high school (2 years younger) and I was his supervisor when he worked at boy scout camp and when we see each other around town we say hi. I think he's messing with me and say no. He asked again and I started getting irrated.
    *SC moment* "You dont need my id, we went to high school together, I graduated 2 years before you"
    Him: "What year did you graduate?"
    Me: 2003
    Him: "I graduated the same time you did. [...]


    Thats when it dawned on me. Its not J. Its his older brother, A. As I walked out of there I felt like and idiot and an ass. Mostly cause while they have a very vague resemblance, they look nothing alike (different height, body type, hair color)

    I to have had a similar experience I was down on my luck and money was tight and I needed every quarter i had literally so anyway i went to the convient store that was basically at the top of my drive and get a car auto magazine and ask for quaters in change from a dollor bill so I could use the pay phone well she gives me my money back and there is no quarters for the phone so I ask for the quarters and she saids she gave me the change back and I argued a bit but not with attitude just confusion then it dawned on me I never gave her the dollor (again I was down and kind of out of it from stress) I apologized immediately over and over and said i was so stupid and should have never questioned her...she never said it was okay which made me feel worse ...I felt like a complete loser!!1

        This is, perhaps, the longest run-on sentence I have ever seen on this site.
        I'm out of breath just reading it!

        Age and wisdom don't necessarily go together. Some people just become stupid with more authority.
