I accidentally left my receipt at the self-checkout machine. A woman rushed over, handing it to me with a smile. “You dropped this,” she said. I thanked her and left.
When I got home and unpacked the groceries, I noticed something odd. Written on the back of the receipt in hurried handwriting was: “Check your tires. Someone slashed mine in this parking lot.”
My heart raced. I ran outside and found that one of my tires had indeed been slashed. I called the police, and it turned out there had been a string of similar incidents in the area.
A guy at my old job gave me a lottery ticket. I scratch it. It’s a 10k winner.
Later, he stopped by and asked if I scratched it yet, and I said no. He left. My heart was beating like crazy. I decided to say it wasn’t a winner next time he drops by.
I turned it over to read how to redeem it and saw that it was a prank ticket. I’m glad I saw that before he stopped by again.
