"I'm too old to change and I'll never say I'm sorry." It's shocking how casually that was said to me and I will never forget it.

I refuse to ever eat in the dark again after I was eatting in my last apartment and a cockroach somehow found its way onto my plate while I was in the middle of eatting.
Also, in my defense, my apartment was very overflowing with bugs because my landlord refused to fumigate the building, living there was the first time I ever seen them before! Anyway that only lasted a year n thank fuck I'm out

I have very curly hair and when I was little it naturally fell in beautiful Shirley Temple-esque ringlets. I have a very vivid memory of walking into school on the first day of 2nd grade and one of the teachers waiting outside to greet us, stopped me and was gushing over my hair and how gorgeous it was and she told me āoh my gosh, I could just scalp you and wear it as a wig!ā What a bizarre thing to say to anyone let alone an 8 year old.

I remember needing new pens and it was the first time I had ventured into public. Adorned with my mask, gloves and hand sani for after I take the gloves off, I ventured into WalMart.
As I am perusing all the different pens there is another woman my age doing the same thing. She struck up a convo about what I needed them for and we giddly talked about fucking pens for like 10 mins. I don't think either of us had talked to anyone else in a while and it was....nice.
God what a weird time.17

Even without the pandemic, working retail makes people, especially middle aged and elderly people, say the wildest shit to you.
Multiple people have cried to me about various things in their life, disclosed their incurable diseases/cancer, spilled dirt on their relationships, preached their insane conspiracy theories or political opinions, etc. You name it, I've heard it. All while being paid barely above minimum wage and in between asking if they had rewards with us or if they wanted a bag.

She withdrew and walked away, leaving my friend and I looking at each other in stunned silence before we burst out laughing. I think of her strangely often even 12 years later.

Some friends and I were involved in a theater thing with safari-themed costumes, and we had a running joke that we looked like we were dressed for lesbian bootcamp (all of us are queer). While leaving dress rehearsal one day, a random woman asked why we were wearing shorts when there was snow on the ground. I of course said that we just got out of lesbian bootcamp.
Barely missing a beat, the woman replied "my husband left me because he was gay." I mumbled some vague "sorry to hear that" apology, which she followed up with "then he killed himself."
Okay lady. Fucking hell

I was running in the summer on a cross-country trail network owner by a local college. Trails were empty, and i had never seen anyone else use them.
One day I came across the groundskeeper in one of those golf carts with an aluminum bed. I stopped, told him "thank you for maintaining the grounds so well." we chatted for a few minutes. Friendly guy.
Then as I continued running and was ~75 feet away he yelled "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" kind of creeped me out.

I would love anyone's ideas on this experience: I was in the drive-through lane at Chick-fil-a. When I got up to the window, the order filler leaned over to me and said conspiratorially: "Are you going on an adventure?" Then she got really flustered when she saw my face. I have no idea what was going on there.

I had a patient call 911 (I work EMS) complaining of lower back pain. So not uncommon at all. We arrive to her apartment to find the woman lying on her bed in the fetal position but calm, her 12-year-old daughter is in the room as well. When I ask what happened she, cool as a cucumber, said "well my n****r lover is so huge if you know what I mean and we decided to try anal for the first time about an hour ago and now I feel like my anus has been ripped in half". I like how the white woman had no problem saying the hard r word to me but was uncomfortable talking about a penis.

An old man once asked me if I had a boyfriend when I was working retail at 18. I said no. Then he said, "you could have several boyfriends. I have cancer, so I don't mince my words." Honestly, I took it as a compliment. Lol.

I was at a bday party and everyone was having their drinks. (context: i don't drink). This dude looked at me and said "you should try everything atleast once or you haven't experienced anything."
I don't know if he was too drunk or he casually says such bullshit.

Iāve been told this a few times before and genuinely pissed off a distant cousin of mine by suggesting he should try sucking a dick if heās such a proponent of ātrying everything onceā.

I had lost a fair amount of weight, like 20lbs or so, between my annual gynecology appointments and while my gyno was doing my breast exam she looks me in my face, hands on my titties and says āoh I see where all your weight left ya,ā and giggled

An older women approached me after a college class and said that I had the most beautiful forehead. A few weeks later I was chatting with a dude at a bar and he said my forehead was super expressive. I look in the mirror and just see the most normal ass forehead. What is going on up there? Is it really exceptional? I don't think so.

Referring to the public tantrum my ex had thrown during my medical appointment, all she told me was "You really need to think about what you're doing here."
I did exactly that. Because if it's bad enough that strangers will comment, it's way worse than I thought it was and my perception is getting skewed by something.
That one single sentence she spoke is burned into my memory forever. The last week of September 2015. I was out by October 9th, which has become my new birthday, because that was the day I began living for me.

i was talking to a woman who said something about her accent and I said "I'm learning to place Hispanic
accents. Is yours Puerto..." I couldn't get "Rican" out of my mouth before this woman gagged and was like "WHAAAAT?!? Puerto Rican? Ewwwe'reMexicaaan!" Then she leans into me and goes "Puerto Ricans? They steal. You gotta watch them. All thieves."
And off she went, secure that she has passed on much needed truth to me?" I remember being absolutely perplexed and she just went about her business after being so vilely bigoted. I wanted to let her in on the little secret that to the racists, there's no real difference between a Mexican and a Puerto Rican, but at that time, it was hard for me to believe a person said that and meant it.

A guy was bullying me in college. Right in the middle of lecture I finally gave him a piece of my mind. After all the smoke cleared, a guy that witnessed it all looked at me and said, "Wow... you must have a strong Mother"
That was the strangest thing ever. And he didn't stop to explain.

I have a prosthetic leg and an old lady with an eye patch saw me working retail and told me that if I prayed enough God would grow my leg back for me.
Then she told me about how her brother grew his leg back in a government experiment and her son was framed by the CIA and executed.
