Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay, total weird thing just happened.

I was taking a nap on the couch when I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. This is odd, since all of the people who usually visit my house have keys to get in. I called out to ask who it was, and she said that she was a neighbor named Debbie. I don't know any debbies, but I opened the door anyway.

This Debbie chick explained that one of her relatives was in the hospital and she was babysitting the baby daughter, and that she was in desperate need of diapers. And diapers apparently cost 8 bucks. So she was selling frozen meat. And she presented me with a bag of plastic wrapped frozen meat, which she proceded to dump on my porch to show me what kinds she had.

I was pretty much speechless about this. This lady looked to be in complete distress, but... selling frozen meat for 8 dollar diapers? I should have questioned her on how no one in her family could have 8 dollars to spare, why she couldn't buy afordable diapers from the dollar store, and why if all else fails, she couldn't make an old fasioned cloth diaper for the baby? But, I'm a sucker and felt sorry for the lady.

All I had was a 20 and a 1, and I wasn't dumb enough to give her a 20. As if I wanted a bag of frozen meet, god knows what could have been done with it. Unfortunately she saw the corner of the 20 sticking out of my pocket. I tried to explain to her that I couldn't afford to spend my money because I needed, but she kept begging and going on about the quality of her meat, and how she spent 30 minutes going from door to door trying to sell it.

Eventually I gave her the 1 for nothing just to get her to leave. Small price to pay for ending this creepy situation. I called my mom, and she dosen't know any Debbie's in the neighborhood.

So either this lady is desperately poor and dumb, or that was the worse excuse for booze money I've ever heard.
