i was at popular yesterday purchasing a blank cd for some army matters. after paying for the above mentioned product, i lingered around the store, looking at some books, games and whatever it is that they sell for the sole purpose of killing time. it just so happened that i was carrying with me my usual big black nike bag and i was rummaging through the contents searching for army camp pass. unfortunately, i looked rather suspicious, searching through my bag and hanging aroung the store for a really long time. at least i did to one particular woman that worked there.
it started with the one too many eye-to-eyes; whenever i looked up there she was, eyeing me, just watching while falsely busying herself with some shit or another. she started to tail me around the shop. everwhere i went she moved with me, carrying a book or something that she seemed totally involved in shelving.
it was so stupid and quite ridiculous to think that i was being tailed for suspicion for shoplifting that i almost burst out laughing. sure i've shoplifted before, but hey, almost getting caught for something which you totally didnt do is just funny. its like a situation where you cant wait to say i-told-you-so. but it this case, i took my time. i gave her a run for her money.
i purposely walked up and down the shop so many times that i'm sure she almost wanted to give up or approach me. i also increased the number of times i rummaged through my stuff. at the same time, i picked up books and stationery while going through my stuff to make it seem like i was trying to steal the items. i also started to look really nervous and all that.
it was a riot.
this charade carried on for about a good 20 minutes and that lady (god bless her suspicious soul) didnt take her eyes off me. i finally decided to give her a break and went through the usual scanners flanking the exits. obviously, nothing sounded and i walked through it without any hassle or fuss and on my face, a nonchalant expression.
after exiting, i turned back to look at her (for she followed me to the exit waiting for the scanners to go off so that the bitch could pounce) and she had an expression i will not soon forget. she was bitching about wasting her time to one of the other collegues, crestfallen and all. and you know what i did?
i smiled.
