This is the strangest and craziest thing that has ever happened to me, so here goes.
This story takes place back in 2020 or 2021 after the mask mandate was lifted in my area. So, considering it's gone, why not go to the grocery store to see what it was like way before we had masks?
It was nice, and being able to smell the fresh produce and the bread being baked at the bakery was really nice. But there is always someone who will try to ruin those great times.
There's this lady who is wearing a mask. She was really eye catching, not because of the mask, but the fact that she had a neon orange-1piece spandex sorta thing, and she legitimately had a bowl cut and large glasses with big rhinestones. Needless to say, she looked funny.
I noticed that she was staring at me angrily. I don't know why she was, but I kept glancing over, a little confused. So remember, I'm not wearing a mask. So when I see this lady point at her mask, I realize that she is mad at me for not wearing a mask, even though I legitimately didn't have to. I kind of just ignore her, because she didn't work at the store and she didn't have any kind of authority to make me wear a mask.
I go to another aisle in the store. The lady then walks into the aisle I'm in, and walks over to me. She says to me, "I think you're forgetting something." So I kindly tell her that the mask mandate was lifted. She then says, "I know it has, but I don't care. Put a mask on." I was trying not to laugh because her outfit was ridiculous. (I forgot to mention that I was only 11 at the time and I hurried and ran into the store to grab one thing because my dad was on a work call(I also realized that the lady looked a lot like vector lmao))
I try just walking away, but she follows me. I start getting a little scared. She keeps saying things like, "I said put a mask on!" and "I'm not leaving until you put a mask on." I eventually turn around and say, "Get away from me! I'm not putting a mask on!" She freaks out and SHOVES ME TO THE GROUND. Other people in the store are watching, and they look uncomfortable. But there was one person that saw that happen that really got mad.
Her husband.
He instantly marches over, yelling things like, "What did you just do to that kid!?" And the lady is clearly scared. He gets mad, and starts yelling that her husband is being abusive. (Quite ironic lol.) After them arguing even more, the man apparently didn't know that his wife was like this. He says something like, "You are not the one for me." (I know that that is not what he said but he said a lot of stuff about not wanting to be with her anymore.
So I go get my dad, the lady still arguing with her husband, and we walk into the store My dad yells at the lady, and she starts saying stuff like, "I didn't shove him! I haven't seen this kid!" But it's hard to lie when there are a few dozen people who saw it happen.
My mom picks me up, just to get me away from the situation, and my dad stays in there. Apparently the police got called for child abuse, and she had to do several hours of community service and pay a fine. I haven't seen Vector... I mean the lady since, but I'm sure she's still mean, still orange, and still single.
Karma exists I guess.
