My receipt was inadvertently left at the self-checkout kiosk. A woman came running over and smiled as she gave it to me. She remarked, “You dropped this.” After thanking her, I walked out.

I noticed something strange when I unpacked the groceries after I got home. “Check your tires,” was written in hasty handwriting on the back of the receipt. My car was slashed in this parking lot.

My heart pounded. When I rushed outside, I discovered that one of my tires was indeed cut. When I called the police, they informed me that a number of similar incidents had occurred nearby.

My new job’s first day. I approached a man and gave him my name. “No time to waste,” he says, and gives me some strange assignments, which I begin to complete. After an hour of work, my phone rings, and it’s from the job I recently started.

“Are you aware today is your first day?” the man on the phone asks when I answer. “Yes, I am here,” I replied. David gave me some tasks to complete. “Who’s David?” the man on the phone asks.

Apparently, I didn’t give it much thought when a total stranger began giving me instructions. We laughed quite a bit. © Reddit/Unknown author
