Speechless...
So I dropped my daughters off to school the other day and then stopped at the local convenience store to get a paper and drink. There were 3 telephone maintenance vans in the parking lot and the drivers from all 3 were gathered on the sidewalk in front of where I parked, but offset so that they could not see me get out of my truck. I got out and went to walk past them toward the door of the store. There were 2 men and 1 woman. The first guy was telling a lively story to the other 2. As I cam around the corner of my truck and he caught sight of me, he went silent in the middle of a sentence and just stared! I walked by him and did not say anything (although I was dying laughing on the inside!). I got my drink and paper, chuckling the whole time, then paid and walked back out. The same 3 people were still standing there and the first guy immediately starts apologizing! "I am so sorry, you got out and I just never expected that!". I said no problem, it was a common reaction, and went on my way. But I was chuckling the whole day. He was not being mean or derogatory, just got surprised, but his reaction was priceless!
