"Hey! Hi. I just wanted to say I like your shirt."

There are some weird people in Costco. But weird in the good way.

Weird as in a guy who would recognize the WoW Warlock symbol from a good 40 feet away, walk over, and strike up a ten minute conversation about WoW just...because. Meanwhile, Daddy dearest is ten feet away trying to decide which pair of dress pants to buy; olive or khaki? Oh, the choices.

Weird as in a lady who talks to you endlessly about Dean Koontz because she happens to see you picking up one of his books you're thinking about buying.

Weird as in a guy who gives you advice about the best way to tell when a watermelon is ripe.

Weird as in a 10 year old who has seen as many Bond movies as you have and wants to know which one is your favorite. (By the way, that ten year old so could've been me. I was a Bond-fiend at age ten.)

Weird as in discussing with you why no one ever eats the peach flavored yogurt. (Which, by the way, is a damn good question.)

....

People are so weird sometimes.
