I’m not sure what it is about me and R, but it seems like bizarre things always happen to us. Always. It’s as if our lives are governed by Murphy’s Law of Whiskey.Tango.Foxtrot?!
And never do things go “just right” or “as planned”. Never. There are always wrenches flying into our spokes, causing us to go veering off in some wild direction and usually crashing. Or at least ending up at our destination with a nasty scratch.
Fortunately this story I’m about to tell falls more into the weird stuff category than the painful crash category, but it made me laugh and think “yeah, that’s about right” when I heard it nonetheless.
Hopefully you will too. Laugh, that is. Not shake your head at the oddity that is our existence. Ahem.
This conversation transpired one afternoon last week over IM. R had been looking to buy a juicer for a little while and finally found the one he wanted that morning. He had just returned from making his purchase when the following was relayed:
R: pretty sure I just bought a stolen juicer
Me: wha? uh-oh
R: dude was sketchy as shit
Me: yikes
as long as they don’t track you down
R: showed up in a beat down mini van
smoking a swisher
very “eccentric”
definitely not someone who “has two and is selling one for his fiance”
Me: ha!
is that what he said?
R: yea
Me: dang. yep, totally stolen
R: I overpaid knowing that
oh well, I got a story
Now let’s hope we don’t get a knock on our door from the cops looking for that hot juicer.
HAHA!!! Dude you cracked me up with this story. That’s hilarious! Mayhaps you shouldn’t have published this on the internet? Oh snap, are those sirens I hear??? LOL!!
@BeautifulSpitUp HAHAHAHA!!! Eve, I thought that SAME thing, but then hit publish anyway. 🙂 Fingers crossed they still don’t show up!
Sounds like something that would happen to us. That’s hilarious!!!
@natalie1 Thanks, Natalie! This is the kind of weird stuff that is constantly happening to us!
Really?!? Who would steal a juicer? So funny!
@deannabe1 I know! It was just such a weird scenario. At least the juicer worked fine and the cops never showed up at our house, ha!
Oh hon, he should hang out with my husband. He will buy anything, from anyone. Once? He bought speakers from some guy in a jeep that flagged him down as he was leaving a parking lot. He brought them home and I was all, “Don’t you bring stolen goods in my house!” lol
But worse was when he bought MEAT from a guy with a freezer in the back of his truck. DISGUSTING. I still make fun of him for that.
(please note that I would not eat it nor would I allow our children to eat it… in the end he said it looked crazy when he tried to cook it and he ended up throwing it out)
@thehhhousewife What – meat???? Ew!! I would definitely not eat that either! Well I’m glad mine isn’t the only “bargain hunter”, shall we say, hahaha! 🙂
And I’m so sorry – I have no idea why I didn’t see your comment until just now! Ugh.
