I am *not* going back out there!
Jul. 4th, 2010 09:52 pmI thought I'd take the family out for ice cream this evening. After dinner we all got in the car and drove down to Dairy Queen.
We were one car away from the drive through window when a old car whipped around the corner and pulled up parallel to the car in front of us. When the first car in line pulled away, the driver of the old car started yelling at the man working at the window.
He yelled, "HEY! I bought three ice cream cones at the walk-up window about twenty minutes ago and you only gave us two! I don't have a receipt!"
He yelled about ice cream cones and receipts for another 20 or 30 seconds before a woman (I assume a manager) came to the window and yelled back, "No problem! I can check it against our receipts! Come around to the front!"
The driver pulled away and left the parking lot in the wrong direction to actually do as the manager asked. I assume he just left because he realized that his scam was idiotic.
The guy in the PT Cruiser behind me started honking before the driver in the old car had left. He could honk all he wanted, but there was no way I was putting myself between a mad man and his ice cream scam.
We were nearly home when we had to stop because a man in a van with a picnic table strapped to the top had stopped in the middle of our road and was yelling for a dog to come to him. I could see the dog. It was enjoying my neighbor's lawn. I'm still not sure why he didn't just get out of the van and collect the dog.
I think the weirdos are out tonight and I am not going to join them.
