Awkward moments

So we ended up going out to run a couple errands today and we had a odd encounter in one store with one of the cashiers.

She needed more change in her drawer so another cashier left to get her some. She turns to me and says "well as we wait, here's something we can talk about: our space heater was covered in ice and our downstairs flooded. Now I have 83 years worth of cleaning to do." WTH (and I don't understand the 83 years thing. She looked around 35-40ish)

I was so confused by what she had just blurted out and it didn't even make sense. So I was like "oh no, that's awful..."

Then she sticks her hand in her pocket and brings out a handful of cough drops and mints and is looking at them, then offers me one! Uh, thanks but no. Hell no.

Luckily the other cashier returns so we're able to finish and get the hell out of there but then she's like "we're giving away calendars for free today" and motions to a display of them on the counter. I look and they are snowboarding calendars. So I politely say "oh nice thank you, but that's ok" and she looks at me and says "but they're free!!! Take some!!!" So I told her we didn't have room for anymore calendars. Then she turns to the other cashier who was still standing there and said very loud: "geez!! I literally can't give those things away!!!! I'm trying!!!! But she won't take one!!!"

It was so awkward.....

So anyone else have awkward moments recently? Please share!

    A random lady in line at Costco kept asking me questions about Em. Was she a boy or a girl (Em was decked out in pink), what's her name, how old is she...all in rapid succession and almost like interrogation style. When I said Em was about a year and a half, she demanded her age in months instead. Then Em kept ducking her head, so the lady reached out and was trying to fold up the brim of her hat and pet her cheeks. It doesn't sound like much, but the vibe was just so weird!

    LO loves dogs, and we live in a condo...lots of people here have dogs and walk them frequently. When Will sees a dog in the vicinity he usually barks and runs over to them. This one guy is always walking around. He's about 60, little white dog named Rookie.
    Anyway, Will and I were out walking around the parking lot the other day and we were within earshot of this guy walking Rookie. Will starts freaking, but instead of barking he starts blowing. Like he is blowing out a candle. I say to Will "No. Say "HI" to Rookie. Why are you blowing him"?

    Uh. Yea. Why are you blowing him? It felt awkward.
