Just Becaues It's Pretty Doesn't Mean It's Nice

This happened awhile ago. I just remembered it last night. I was ringing up a somewhat edgy looking blonde woman upstairs. I noticed that she had a very nice Japanese character tattoo on her arm. It even had some subtle shadows around it.

Me: "I really like your tattoo. Does it mean anything?"

The woman glances at me coldly and replies curtly, "Evil".

She gathered up her purchuses and walked away after that. My initial impression of her as someone to avoid ended up being correct.

They Aren't Flamingos, They're Vultures!

I witnessed this on the way back from one of our remote gift shop locations. Another classic example of people saying the funniest things.

Woman with a stroller: "Look kids, vultuers!" *pauses upon realizing what she said* "I mean, flamingos!"

I waited until she was mostly out of ear shot before I burst out laughing. I passed a woman sitting on a bench who was laughing too. Apparently she had overheard what the other woman had said as well and thought it was pretty funny. I chuckled for a good minute over this one.
