Selo and I stopped for gas on the way home from work. I went into the store to find the donuts I had been craving since his birthday.
Me *thinking* Hmmm, I know they are here. All c-stores have them. There they are!
Cashier Chick: This all for you today?
Me: Yes ma'am. *digs in purse for wallet* Shoot! Never mind. I left my wallet at my office. I bet it's still sitting in my drawer. *sigh* Never mind.
Cashier Chick: Oh. Okay. Sorry.
I turn and walk out of the store. I had barely gone out the door before the guy standing behind me in line called me back inside.
Me *thinking* Did he find my wallet? I wonder if I just dropped it.
Mr Man: I'll buy the donuts for you.
Me: *starring*
Cashier Chick: *shrug*
Me: Um, thank you. . . but . . . you know, I'm married.
Cashier Chick busts up laughing.
Mr Man *shocked* and then laughs: I'm engaged. It's okay. They're just donuts.
Me: Um, thanks.
Mr Man: I'm just trying to be a nice guy. It's really no big deal.
Me: I didn't mean to offend you, I just don't want to give the wrong impression.
Mr Man picks up the now-paid-for donuts and hands me the box.
Me: Thank you.
Mr Man: Your welcome.
