Stalk Much?

In a day where we depend on Myspace and Facebook to tell us who our true friends are, it’s always refreshing to have confirmation come in other forms.  Such as yesterday as I spent my lunch break on my laptop in a quiet and secluded niche (or so I thought).

Patron: Hey, didn’t expect to see you here today.  Did you park somewhere else?
Me (knowing that he was referring to the fact my vehicle which I traded in over the weekend was no in the parking lot): Nope, I’m here.
Patron: Oh, well I didn’t see your car out there.
Me: [insert name here], are you stalking me?
Patron (suddenly beyond flustered): Oh, no, I mean, my girlfriend wouldn’t like that.  And besides… we’re just to good of friends.

Wow… I shared this with Conan and we got a laugh on so many levels.  One that this patron even has a girlfriend, and two, that we are just such good friends.  I had no idea.   Too add to the flavor of this story the patron came in later in the evening and had a closed door chat with one of my co-workers about our conversation.  I’m not sure if he was more upset that I thought he was stalking me, or that I would accuse him of such an act.  Good grief…
