Rock n' Roll Doggie FOB
First of all, if you read this and think "Oh it's not so bad" pleasseeee don't ever use me as an example of someone who was "okay" or whatever! Because I really think what I did was dumb! (Granted I do live in Mass where people are more conditioned to be wary of others, but ya never know, anywhere in the world..)
anyway here's what happened. three weeks ago i was heading home for Christmas, but I went to my hair salon to get a haircut. My car was filled with my stuff & presents.
The salon I go to is pretty fancy & expensive. So as I'm putting on my jacket I hear a woman asking the receptionist where her taxi was. And the receptionist saying she didn't know, should she call another? And the woman sort of complaining. Then I walk to the door to leave and the (old) woman waiting is standing in the doorway. And she asks me if I'm leaving.. (uh-oh) and I get nervous because I don't want to look like a bitch in front of the receptionist & people waiting.. (stupid!) anyway I'm like "well i have to pick up my sister.." and the old woman was like, "i'm just going up the street, the taxi isn't here, i'll pay you.."
For some really really stupid weak reason I said okay (not to take the money! but to drive her up the street, literally 2 miles). anyway it was clear after speaking to her for 30 seconds she was out of her wits. She repeated everything, constantly called me hon, kept asking me my name, saying thanks, telling me about her husband who had died right after he retired, how she was alone, how you can't get nowhere if you don't have a car, thanks hon.
Okay so I'm an educated and pretty cautious woman. I'm constantly aware of my surroundings and never do anything like this. But.. for some dumb reason I didn't say no. I did look at her purse before i accepted (small, couldn't fit a weapon.. haha it could have though, a weapon doesn't necessarily mean a gun).
But as I was driving she was rambling and all of a sudden I asked myself what would I do if she didn't get out of my car? Or if she needed to go down a side alley and who knew if she could have coherts waiting there.. who knows?!
Thankfully she remembered where she was going and got out easily (not before she says to me: "you are very nice, thanks hon." and i'm like "oh you seem very nice too." and she looks at me, with these empty, dark eyes *chill* and was like, "no, i'm not." (is there a smilie for fear?)) anyway..
just a precaution. yeah it was "nice" but it was utterly stupid. i should never have cared if the people in the salon thought i was a bitch to one of their customers. thank God nothing happened!
