Your brain fart(s) of the day

[Caulfield]

and file this one under The Further Restroom Misadventures of Caulfield:

I just can't seem to win for losing.

left out of Paula Deen's in Pigeon Forge a little while ago but stopped off in their restroom before I walked out.
saw another person coming through to the restrooms so I politely held the door open for them to enter.
only to realise it was a woman going into the women's restroom.

double whammy, brain fert/faux pas

I was outside and my back towards the fence while I was doing something.

Neighbour: Hey mister, do you mind helping me for a second?

Me: Sure.

*Turn around*

Nobody's there. They weren't talking to me. They were in their yard talking to someone else. I'm hoping they didn't hear my response, but they probably did.

I just held an automatic door open for someone.

I gotta eat something.

Was grabbing something at WalMart, had a gift card for it. I ring the item up, then the gift card, wondering why it wasn't taking. Turns out I didn't hit "Pay" first and the register thought I was buying the gift card too instead.

this probly isn't a brain fart but it's auto door related, I set the alarm off when I went through the door at the store, so I pulled back and waited for someone to check my receipt.

no one came. There were people sitting around on benches being like "just go, man", but they weren't workers. I want the "all clear" from someone to let me know I'm good to go

I'm standing around like "um hello?" finally I started running my cart though the detector over and over so the alarm would go off continuously lol, finally the U Scan worker waives to me, but she didn't really waive, her hand was steady, like a stop signal. She stares at me like she's saying "just go!" but her hand signal was to stop! I say "am I good? are you sure" and everyone was annoyed with me

but it's like, if I ran though the door after the alarm went off they might've thought I was legit stealing

I'm the same. I'm too honest at a store, haha.

Sometimes I feel guilty when I leave a store not having purchased something. Not guilty that I didn't make a purchase, but in making them think that I was stealing something in the process haha.

I thought I had a scheme down where I could buy a gift card with a gift card.

It was where Jamba Juice gave you something like a $30 gift card value for $25 or something, so I had this whole idea in place... and I can't remember what it was anymore.

Bottom line, you can't do it haha.

I literally don't even browse stores anymore for this reason, especially smaller locations where it might just be you and the cashier there. If I don't know for sure there's at least 1 thing I'm getting from a place I won't even bother.

Some locations are actually making this hard too. The only way you can exit is through the cashier section, but if you didn't buy anything, you're not waiting in line just to leave, and just walking past everyone thinking you're cutting and just leaving makes it look like you're stealing.
