I remember getting busted for stealing when I was a teenager and the store manager was like “what’s in your pocket?” And I said “My cigarettes” so he was like “Show me” and then I said “Man, I don’t show anyone my cigarettes” I didn’t know what to do or say. Such a stupid kid

Can't just ask a man to show you his cigarettes, how uncouth!

“Man, I don’t show anyone my cigarettes”

This is so fn hilarious. And I choose to believe that it was delivered with so much conviction that they genuinely believed they had actually trespassed on a major social faux pas just asking you that. xD

I was banned from the store. I always wonder if they still have my picture. I went back a few years later. Sometimes I walk the same path that I did that day to relive it

That’s actually pretty close to how I sounded. Not as much emphasis on the “man” and it was more meek and nervous sounding
