I attract the weirdest people

I ran to walgreens today. Tried to get in the checkout lane and this guy was in my way. I said “excuse me”, he apologized and I replied “no worries, you’re good”. He seemed to think this was an invitation for conversation. The next thing I know, he is standing in my personal zone asking me the most random question. Here is our conversation:

Random Dude: “What did you think of Whitney Houston’s death?”

Me: “It is so sad, I hope she knew Jesus.”

Random Dude: “Why was it sad?”

Me: awkward pause…”Because she died?”

Random Dude: “WRONG!” (walks away)

Excuse me, I thought that death is generally sad. While it can be a positive experience when a person’s suffering has come to an end and they have come to terms with their death, it is still entangled with sorrow.

I need to stop making eye contact with strangers. Without fail, I attract the weirdos.
