People Say the Darndest Things

Another day, another interesting comment from a stranger:

Nurse tech at Red Cross Blood Donation Center: Do you have a valid driver's license with you today?

Me: Yes, I do.

Nurse tech: You look a lot different in this photo. You look really pale. But I guess the photo was taken in November...

Compliment or... not so much

So, I'm standing in line next to a stranger, a woman probably in her early-to-mid 50's. She says, "I think my daughter would REALLY like your cowboy boots... she likes to wear weird stuff."

Ummm... thanks?

Overheard** in Atlanta

Random stranger guy (Rando) stops near a girl to tie his shoe: Wow, you have great hair — but I bet you hear that a lot.

Girl: Umm thanks. I actually don't get that a lot.

Rando:  I mean, it's kind of straight on the top and curly on the ends. It's cool.

Girl: Thanks?

Rando: You have split ends — but you make them look good.

**Okay, this wasn't so much overheard as it was me. What the? Seriously.
