Okay someone stepped in my oatmeal today and there's nobody to vent to and the dog doesn't want to hear it. I met our daughter at a thrift store "Grand Opening" today and it was very crowded. People were in eachothers way trying to shop but you have to expect that on the first day as soon as the doors open. That wasn't a problem for anyone, everyone seemed to be well in check. I have been collecting waist tie aprons for our daughter's bridal shower which will have a kitchen theme. I found several and went to a spot where I was out of the way to go through them more carefully to look for stains and tears. I was excited as they are hard to find used in good condition. While doing this a woman stopped and asked me where I found them. I told her the general area as best I could. I had one that turned out to be a full front apron and really couldn't remember just what isle they were on and it was grid lock in isles of that area still. So I put the apron back on the hanger and hung it on the end of the rack of clothes I was standing next to, and looked once more at the others. I thought it was not worth trying to get back to where I got it, and if I left it there the other woman might see it and take it that stopped me earlier asking where I'd got them. Just then a guy walks by and says something to me with a dirty look on his face. I really didn't hear what he said, so I said what? And in his best gay voice says "I said it really wouldn't hurt you to put that apron back where you found it". Then walks off, I follow him and he keeps looking back and moving through the store. I never saw him with anyone but my daughter and I watched him as he would walk up behind people and watch them. I asked an employee if he worked there and she said no. Was he doing this to everyone? At one point I decided I didn't want another item I'd picked up and he was at the end of the isle where I got it so we took it back and I said real loud I'm putting this back! He of course wouldn't even look at us. I know he heard me since others in the isle looked our way. I have shopped at this store several times in another town and never run into anyone like this.

Not a good thing especially before I've had coffee.
