Freaky Friday
OK, anyone who knows me knows i so don't believe in this kind of bullshit, but i am totally freaked out by something that happened to me a couple hours ago. I either went through a time warp or there was some sort of spirit or ghost playing some shit on me to freak me out and it worked. Something fucking weird happened tonight and i am totally dumbfounded.
I left work. Got in the car. Drove across the bridge. I needed to buy dog food and stuff for dinner. So I decided to go straight to the Safeway at 51st and Broadway, because I could also pick up dog food at the Pet Food Express that's right next to the Safeway (only Pet Food Express carries the brand my boys like). So I pulled in, parked midway between the Safeway and the Pet Food Express. I decided to go to Safeway first, since it would most likely be the more painful of the two stops. Did my shopping. Got to the checkout. Paid with my bank of the west debit card. Took my groceries and went back to the car. Put my groceries in the back of the car. Then I went to the Pet Food Express. Got my bag of Premium Edge Senior Lamb and Vegetable. Got to the register and paid with my bank of the west debit card. As usual, the woman at the checkstand had trouble running my debit card. I have trouble at WHole Foods, Pet Food Express and Market Hall (except not the meat market there, just the produce and pasta shop). She had to punch my number and name in by hand. I told her I always have a problem with that card at Pet Food Express and Whole Foods, but that I had just used it at Safeway with no problem. So she types in my info, prints out the receipt and I sign it. I pick up my bag and head back to the car. As I am reaching in my pocket for my keys, I feel that I don't have my wallet. I pat all my pockets, reach in and check them all. No Wallet. So I throw the dog food in the front seat of the car, and head back to Pet Food Express, figuring I must have left my wallet at the checkstand.
I get back to Pet Food Express, go to the checkstand and ask if I had left my wallet. She says no, and we both proceed to look around for it. No Wallet. She says maybe I took it out over by the dogfood aisle. I go over and look, no wallet. I retrace my steps from the dogfood aisle, to the checkstand and through the parking lot. No wallet. I get back to the car and think maybe I put my wallet on the seat when I put the dog food in. Nope. No wallet anywhere around the seat. I think, maybe I put my wallet down in the back of the car when I put the groceries back there. No wallet. So I think I must have left my wallet at the checkstand at Safeway. So I head back to Safeway to check. On my walk through the parking lot though, I am thinking. If I left my wallet at Safeway, how did I pay for the dog food at Pet Food Express? I think, I must have put my Bank of the West debit card directly in my pocket after I used it at Safeway and left my wallet behind. So I am entering the Safeway, and I go to checkstand #6, which is Dorothy's, and I ask her, did I leave my wallet here? She says no. But the bag boy at checkstand #7 overhears, and says I found your wallet. He walks me the few feet to the customer service counter and signals to the woman behind the counter that I am the guy for the wallet. But I have to wait while she deals with some other customers who were ahead of me. I am standing there waiting, thinking it was lucky that I had put my Bank of the West debit card in my pocket by accident, or I wouldn't have been able to pay for the dog food. But I am saying this to myself while my hands are in my pockets. And my hands aren't feeling my Bank of the West debit card in my pocket. I check my pockets more carefully. Nothing. My cell phone and a 20$ bill. Nothing else. Now I am freaking out. So I left my wallet at Safeway and lost my Bank of the West debit card somewhere else? What a night. And I am someone who never loses my wallet or credit cards. So I am standing there waiting in the customer service line thinking my Bank of the West Debit card must still be at the checkstand at Pet Food Express, because I had to have it to pay for the dog food. So I am thinking once I get my wallet, I need to go back there again and look for my debit card. Or, I think, maybe I threw my debit card on the car seat when I put the dog food in the car.
So now it is my turn, she checks my name and id and hands me my wallet. As I am walking away from the customer service desk, I check my wallet. And my Bank of the West debit card IS IN THE WALLET!!!!!!
How the fuck did I leave my wallet, with the debit card in it, at Safeway, and then go to Pet Food Express and pay for the dog food WITH THE DEBIT CARD?????? This totally freaks me out. Something fucking wierd happened here. I have the reciepts to prove it I paid with my debit card at both stores. WTF????????
