I Received a Letter from a Stranger Pleading for Help, but I Never Imagined How It Would Turn Out – Story of the Day

 

After my fiancé betrayed me and kicked me out, I was lost. While sitting on the steps with my belongings, I found a letter from a stranger asking for help. With nothing left to lose, I decided to find out more.

Stan, my fiancé, had been out of work for months, but when I came home after a long shift, I found him in bed with someone else. Furious, I confronted him, and within minutes, I was outside with my things.

Feeling lost, I found a mysterious letter asking for help. I followed it to an address and met Lorelai, an elderly woman in the hospital. She needed help with her home and offered me a place to stay in return. Over time, she became like family, and I learned to value myself through her kindness and wisdom.

When Lorelai passed away, I found out she had left me her house and garden, turning one of my darkest days into a new beginning.

Sо I аm аt Wаlmаrt sсаnning аnd bаgging my аlmоst $300

So I am at Walmart scanning and bagging my almost $300 worth of groceries while the employee that wants $15 an hour “monitors” and then this happened.

Her – why are you double bagging all of your groceries?

Me – excuse me?

Her – you are wasting our bags!

Me – if you don’t likе the way I’m bagging the groceries, feel free to come on over here and bag them yourself.

Her – that’s not my job!

Me – okay, then I will bag my groceries how I please if that’s all right with you.

Her – why are you using two bags?!

Me – because the bags are weak and I don’t want the handles to break or the bottoms to rip out.

Her – well that’s because you are putting too much stuff in the bag. If you took half of that stuff out and put it in a different bag then you wouldn’t need to double bag.

*10 seconds of me just staring at her.

Me – so you want me to split these items in half and put half of them in a different bag so that I don’t have to double bag.

Her – exactly.

Me – so I would still be using two bags to hold the same number of items.

Her – no because you wouldn’t be double bagging.

*me pressing two fingers to my left eye in an attempt to make it stop twitching.

Me – okay so here I have a jug of milk and a bottle of juice double bagged. If I take the milk out and remove the double bagging and just put the milk in the single bag and the juice in that single bag I’m still using two bags for these two items.

Her- no because you are not double bagging them so it’s not the same number of bags.

*me looking around at about 10 other customers who at this point are enjoying the show.

Me- is this likе that Common Core math stuff I keep hearing about?

Her- never mind you just don’t get it.

And with that, she went back to her little Podium so she could continue texting or playing games on her phone or whatever it was she was doing before she decided to come over and critique my bagging skiIIs.
