I decided to go on my lunch break to our local Radio Shack, to see if I could score a few electronics parts for my games (needed a power transistor, and also wanted to see if they might have the transistors that go in a Tempest for the monitor).
I walk into the SHACK, and there's noone in there- not even a sales rep (they were in the back). When I walked in the little "ding-dong" thing went off, so the rep knew there was a customer in the store.
I walked to the back where the little drawers are that hold all of the electronics components, and I started my browsing. Out of the corner of my eye I see someone come from the store room, up to the register mid-way in the store. I continued looking at the electronics stuff, and a few minutes passed.
So then the next thing I hear is……..
"Finding everything O-Kaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!" CRASSSSHHHHHH!!! The woman, while looking at me and walking, neglected to notice the free standing rack in the middle of the store with all kinds of phone accessory crap on it. She completely clotheslined it. The rack went down, and she did everything she could to keep herself from going right down on top of it. She managed to succeed in staying upright (barely).
Maintaining composure I simply replied, "yup, doing fine- thanks.."
After I left the store, I laughed my ass off all the way back to work. I would love to see the security cam recording from the store's tapes today, just to see that happen again.
