The other day I went to Kroger's to buy my mom a birthday balloon. When I was ready to blow it up, I walked around the floral section, but I did not see anybody. A few minutes later a short senior aged lady walked up and asked me what I needed. I told her I needed my balloon blown up. When she got done blowing it up she asked me if it was for a guy or girl, because she needed to know what color string to put on the balloon. Before I could say anything she said, "I assume that it is for a girl since you have a box of chocolate. I dont think that you would be giving a box of chocolate to a guy, but you never know these days."
"Ya its for my mom, but you never know these days," I replied as I laughed under my breath because I could not believe she just said that. I guess when I agreed with her she understood in such a way that she asked me."Are you gay?"
I answered, "No!!" very promptly.
"Good, because if you were then I would have to insert my foot into my mouth." she replied.
This is a prime example of not watching what you say. I could have very easily been a gay guy (although I personally think that it is an abomination to God) and gotten angry at her and would have sued Kroger's which would have cost them a large amount of money. Or worse, I could have gotten so mad at her that I could have stalked her and jumped her outside of work. It could happen, but the best way to avoid it all is to watch what you say.
