weird interaction
As I looked in the car, relatively new, I saw inside two young ladies.
My brain alarms were really going off, "DANGER! DANGER!" LOL
I thought, "What the actual fuck? Why would i need help with trash? And who asks that!?"
Then I thought, "These girls ain't from around here, like not even from the island."
"I'm fine!", I shouted back, "I got this, don't you worry!"
i thought maybe the girls where just having a weird laugh, or on a dare, or something.
weird interaction
"Can I ask you something?"
I had expected the girls to keep going but they had remained. And the driver had completely rolled down their window.
"What's your name!?"
And again the alarm bells went off, I wondered how long until the missus came back.
"afreytes is the name, are YOU guys ok? Do YOU need help?"
"We are looking for someone..."
Alarm bells again...
"We are looking for Miss Such And-Such"
weird interaction
"I'm sorry, fam... I don't know her."
"We're looking for street Such-and-such"
When they said this I knew the where in the right neighborhood, but on the wrong side of the neighborhood. Because the neighborhood is actually between "counties" the streets have a different naming convention depending.
"Ah, I don't know the street myself, but you're pretty close. Let me see if I can pull up the map on my phone real quick."
"We tried that, but Google can't find it!"
weird interaction
I tried, to no avail. The girls were telling the truth.
"I see, I can't find it either, sorry."
"Oh, you're so nice, thank you, we will try calling Miss Such to see if she can direct us..."
Small alarm bells, why didn't they call her earlier then?
"Listen guys, you're pretty close, but you see there are 4 neighborhoods here, all connected, and all have a pretty similar name. Make sure you get the correct hood name from Miss Such. OK?"
I thought that would end it...
weird interaction
"Can we ask you something else?"
I steeled myself. Here we go.
I didn't think they were going to "offer services" because they were well dressed but they didn't look like sex workers. But for sure I thought they would be asking for money, next. Something about wandering around in the car and being low on gas. Hey at least it wasn't a gun-point mugging...
...
IDK... Maybe it was worse? LOL
"What church do you go to, sir?"
...
Me subió y me bajó
The fuck!?
weird interaction
"I don't visit any church for more than 30 years.", I actually laughed.
The girl said, "But... You are so nice! You tried to help us... Looked on your phone and everything."
I said, "Well, trying to help has nothing to do with going to church. I'd like to be as kind as possible with as many people as possible. Religion has no role in that."
weird interaction
"Well sir, The Church of So and So will forever welcome you. And we hope that you visit us someday!"
Everything clicked right then.
These were missionary girls from South America. And the Miss Such and Such they were looking for was their mission. They were gonna get Miss Such and Such to go to church. Their church. And they figured they could get me too.
"Thanks, but I don't think so. I respect your beliefs, but I don't need any myself."
weird interaction
@afreytes@mastodon.gamedev.place Eew, gross. I definitely do not respect those kinds of beliefs. Religion is like a penis, it's ok to have one, it's even ok to be proud of it, but don't try shoving it down anyone's throats and definitely don't go around showing it to kids.
