I went to the Dollar General to get some snacks with my mom. They were out of cream cheese. My heart broke but then I got over it. We left. We drove to Sheetz to get gas. We drove home.
On the way home, we passed a few guys walking with their hoods up. We live in a sketchy area of a sketchy town, so we made some joke about "quarantine shenanigans" and forgot about it.
Here is a bad depiction of the order of the places we were at.
We unpacked the snacks. My mom got on her phone. HERE'S THE FIRST THING SHE SEES:
THE NEXT DAY:
My mom gets on Facebook. HERE'S THE FIRST THING SHE SEES:
IT WAS A JOOOOOOOOOKE! WHAT!
Anyways, thought I should share that fun time with everybody :-)
THEY TRIED TO SAY IT WAS A JOKE?! The quarantine has definitely made us all loose our minds. I am sitting here trying to understand how anyone could possibly think that is something to joke about. I feel like we're in some sort of an apocalypse but like the complete opposite of what we have seen in movies. We have all lost our minds but the natural world around us is flourishing. I'm glad you're okay though, even if they said it was a joke it is still terrifying especially since they were armed.
ReplyDeleteRule of Thumb: if you have to explicitly say it was a joke, it wasn't a good joke.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha this is a GREAT rule of thumb!
DeleteThis is why I'm trying to stay the heck of my phone/computer because if the real headlines weren't scary enough, jokes are even worse. I get trying to lighten the air with humor, but jeez dude bringing a gun is never a good time. I particularly enjoy dark humor jokes about quarantine and essential workers. They do break the tension with a laugh every now and then.
