‘Asked my friend how his mom was doing at his moms funeral.

‘He looked at me and then the casket and kind of smirked. I awkwardly started to try and explain and just said “I’m an idiot. You know I love you. Talk to you in a bit.” He makes fun of me now and I can’t stop laughing. It’s a positive painful memory.’

‘I was a cashier about a year ago and I had to unlock the bathroom for people when they needed to go, so anyways, I unlock the bathroom for this guy and he says thanks and I replied “have a good one”.

‘While she was gone, I touched my face and felt my glasses. I was mortified and apologized profusely when she returned. She was really nice about it though.’
