(5,946 posts)I was in my 20's shopping in the old Hammacher Schlemmer when she was looking for a gag gift and decided to try a prank out on me. The store clerk was in shock, she said Greta came in often in the quiet part of the day, but never talked to any one.
When I left the store, she came out and asked me which direction another store was in and then went off inthat direction.
Let me tell you, I am the stranger everyone talks to, I must look either knowledgeable or totally harmless. Or both. I can't leave my house without people asking me directions. I went to Germany for 2 weeks and had Germans asking me directions. A good deal of the time, the people asking me directions do not speak English. I do not speak many languages, so it is always interesting.
