So today at work morning (Lowes) I'm walking some nikka throughout the entire store getting helping find a list of items he needed for his new pool. Dude looked about 65 years old, had a heavy ass italian accent and he reminded me of a character out of Eyes Wide Shut dressed in all black, something real sleazy and eerie about him
So I helping this dude get all his stuff (including rocks and bricks) and loaded it up on his uhaul, get into the uhual and see a big ass bible verse painted in graffiti that say; Humble yourselves therefore under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up that is testimony of Peter chapter 5 verse 6, didn't think much of it so I left it alone plus I didn't have to do any of this, but because it was extremely slow earlier this morning I decided to make myself look busy and assist him. I think he noticed so before he left he handed me a $50 dollar tip, which I couldn't take.
He forced me to take it, shoving it into my vest pocket, I'm looking like
then he wrote down a number on a piece of paper and said
What do you make doing this job? Like 10, 12 an hour? Not a very rewarding or exciting life. I'll tell you what, you give me a call when you get tired of this crap and I'll expose you to a lifestyle you could never even dream of, so then I'm thinking like
You seem like a good kid, you look out for others and stick by them even when you don't need to. Good qualities I could use in my line of work, if you know what I'm saying and proceeded to say; And they had
tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months that is the prophecy of revelations chapter 9 verse 10; I'm just standing like
Then he winked, got in his truck and left... dead serious
Although there is a possibility he prolly wanna rape me, I'd like to think that I had just been offered an opportunity to join a cult. I don't know if I should call or not...
EDIT: UPDATE
So I went into my to car to call, I ain't want none of my noisy ass co workers listening in the conversation, left out some bits but here;
