That's cute! I think I'd freak. I hate lack of control, like when you're flying and there's someone you haven't seen taking you someplace 30,000 feet in the air! Yikes! It reminded me of my first job at 16 when I worked at Dunkin Donuts. The owner saw me and shoved a uniform in my hand and said, "you wear this." I was apparently the only girl he wanted to wear this micro-mini version of the dress. I said, "My butt will hang out." He goes. "Oh yeah, here" and hands me matching panties! I was so mortified to lean over to get donuts. Well, there were some creepy characters including a Middle Eastern guy with a chauffer who came the same time every day and eventually brought me a diamond ring to marry him. (probably wife #4). Ick! So, one day I was working alone. Yeah a 16-year-old with no one in the entire store and no camera. A guy came in after drinking his lunch (construction worker no doubt) and decided he was coming over the counter. I freaked out and backed up. I thought he was going for the register. He was going for my butt! I pushed open the side door and yelled into the baking room "Hey Jim! Come out here and take care of this moron!" Then I turned to the guy and said, "Jim's 6'4" and 250 pounds, you better get going. The last guy he broke his nose." The dude stumbled from the store and left. I was lucky he didn't call my bluff! Talk about the kids running the show.

Hello darlin. Hope your feeling good. That would have scared the crap out me to! Too funny!

Lol. I could think of crueler things to do from that safe.

More store stories huh?! That really was a wonderful time of your life. We all have those times. I can't believe you got into that safe!! I'm not claustraphobic or anything but I'd be afraid it would get stuck or the person with the combination would leave without telling anyone, or something! But I have to admit that would have been funny to see.

sj--you & i could have terrorized that place!

shiny--admit it...you'd have screamed like a little girl!

You are such a nut, I can just see you doing that, it is a wonder you didn't give the poor girl a heart attach, haha. But that was pretty funny....

Well I am back from California, it was a nice trip, even if it was for a funeral service, well actually a memorial, that last of my Mother's brothers passed away, he was 97. I got to see all the cousins, and I even spent the night with my very best cousin, she and I are like sisters. We had a great visit. Winter is coming and then I will spend a lot more time on the computer, so I won't be such a stranger. Good to visit with you again. hugs.....

nea--i missed you! i'm glad you had a good trip, but sorry it had to be for a funeral...i hate it, you know, that when we get older the only times we get together with family is for sad things...

I'm thinking about dragging my hubby on a haunted tour of Detroit for our anniversary. I bet this is something you would love-historical buildings and ghosts all in the same night.
Love your stories!
