Her: Good morning. How are you?
Me: Good thanks. Yourself?
Her: Not good. Last night…
Me: FUCK
Mum wanted to know why I was going to school so early. “To avoid her”.

Worked in a grocery store during HS and uni. Always was friendly with customers, but at times (especially the elderly) would chew your ear off.
Now I understand they just wanted human contact and conversation but my stoned teenage brain did not.
One chap sticks out in my mind…I was loading up the grape display and bloke comes over and starts off “Can’t enjoy grapes anymore since my wife died a few years ago…”
How the fuck does one respond to that!!!

Start by checking whether he is talking about actual grapes or the modern internet code-usage of grapes. Once he figures out what you are suggesting he could have been confessing to he will probably never want to speak to you again, and you can avoid getting into trouble by pretending to be traumatised by what you thought he was saying. #unethicallifeprotips

As this was about 25-30 years ago, it was definitely fruit related 😜
