What the ... who says that?!

Okay, some strange things have happened to me at the grocery store lately. Today I was at the local grocery store, getting ready to check out and this man comes up behind me and says, "It's a good day not to die, isn't it?"

I'm sure I gave him the strangest look, and then I just responded, "yeah, of course it's a good day not to die."
It was the most odd thing I'd ever heard anyone say. Weird! Who say's that? Seriously... Now I'm wondering if I should have asked him if he had a brush with death or something. Then I was wondering if he was planning on killing me. It was very strange.

Now rewind a few months. I was at WalMart in Springville, I was by myself and I noticed this man looking at me in the store. I didn't think much about it, I just went about my business. Then, as i was loading my car up with a few groceries, the same man comes up to me and asks, "Do you want to be my friend?"

I thought he was trying to get some money out of me or something, so I responded, "Why do you want to be my friend? Do you need something?"

He said "No, I just want to be your friend."

I was so confused. I thought he would ask me for something if I said we could be friends. I just kept saying, "You must need something if you want to be my friend."

Finally, he said, "No, I just was wondering if you would like to be my friend, you know... like go to dinner with me... be my girlfriend."

I kind of laughed and said, "Well, sorry, I'm married."

He started to back up and began apologizing saying, "I didn't mean to scare you, I just saw you in there and wondered if we could be friends. Sorry, no disrespect, just sorry!" He walked away and I quickly got in my car and drove away.

Although it's nice to know the strange man found me attractive, it makes me wonder why these wierdo's keep approaching me. I must look like I'm a weirdo too...

I just had to write this down, strange. Seriously though, who asks someone out by saying, "will you be my friend?"
