It caught me by surprise when a 20 year old struck a conversation with me at a self check out at a store.
"Would you buy this for my girlfriend" and he showed me some flowers he had picked up.
"Sure, they're nice flowers".
Then he started scanning them into my cart. Then scanning all the other stuff he had in his basket. I tried to be nice and told him to go to the next checkout stand with his stuff.
"But you said you would buy it"
He kept making noise and being extra dramatic. I got really pissed and pushed him away. He came back telling the clerks that I was to pay for it. I was boiling red until i saw another kid capturing the whole thing and laughing...
Something similar happened a month ago. This time I was taking the elevator with my son and we saw tree kids in torn clothes.
The elevator was packed. They kept pressing the top floor, forcing everyone to go back up before they get a chance to exit. one was begging for money, while the other was yelling and making it very uncomfortable.
My 3 year old son, a big fan of paw patrol, decided to join in the fun. He pressed the alarm, press the emergency button and started yelling "help! Rescue team, fire fighter, help!" The operator answered immediately, that he is sending help.
The kids freaked out. One of them climbed the elevator to remove a hidden GoPro that was recording the whole thing. They apologized and said it was just for tiktok, before they ran out.
The rest of the riders cheered for my son.
