so i went to PetsMart today to get some stuff for my boys' dog party tomorrow. while i was checking out the toy aisle, an old man made a comment about his dog. i just chuckled a little bit and thought nothing of it. i guess he thought that meant i wanted to talk so he turned around and began telling me about his new dog. he adopted it from the Humane Society and it's a long haired chihuahua. i made little comments like 'aww cute' and 'exciting.' this guy, and he was an old man with grey hair, began telling me about how he is the third owner of this dog and he was told if it didn't work out and he had to take the dog back it would be put to sleep. he told me that it's been hard to train him and the dog is still relieving himself inside. so i piped in and told him i had a chihuahua too and he eats poop! anyways, the conversation kept going for about another 2-3 minutes then i finally told the man good luck with his dog and i walked away.
well a little bit later, i was in the checkout line, and in comes this man from outside. he came straight to me, whipped out his cell phone, and showed me a picture of his dog. i said the normal 'aww how cute, what's his name' and after the man answered me he walked back outside to his car. omg. did this man go out to his car and get his cell phone just to come back in and show me his dog?!?!
i kinda thought it was all a little awkward but then i thought to myself...'this happens a lot. people everywhere just start talking to me.' maybe this guy would've just talked to anyone, but considering the fact that no matter where i go, people talk to me, telling me all sorts of things, i reconsidered. i know i'm a really nice person and easy to talk to, as well as the fact that i like to listen and i'm pretty good at it but seriously...do i have a tattoo across my forehead that says 'talk to me. i'll listen!'
anyways. have a good weekend!
