Weird Thing That Happened Today
This morning I was getting into my car that was parked right outside of the apartment. Parked next to me was a truck, and in the bed of the truck was a man who was putting away his tools. He was parked pretty close to me and had his front door open which was going to make it difficult for me to back out.
“I’ll be done is a second, man,” he said.
“No problem,” I replied.
I got into my car, and after he finished putting everything into his truck and shut his door, he motioned to me that I should pull down my window.
When I did, he said, “Hey, just wanted you to know that I do a lot of utility work around here. Plumping, carpeting, whatever.”
At this point he took a business card out of his pocket.
“Here you go. This isn’t my business card, but if you need any assistance in your apartment give me a call.”
“Will do.”
I took the card, said goodbye, and drove away. As I was driving, I looked at the card. When he said, “this isn’t my business card,” he wasn’t kidding. He gave me the business card of a woman named Rebecca who distributes natural supplements that strengthen your immune system.
?
What the hell? How… wh…. I… I don’t get it. Why did he give me this? He knew that it wasn’t his. How am I supposed to contact him when neither his name nor his number is on the card? I’ve tried to come up with possible scenarios all day that would explain why he did this. I’ve come up with three…
1) He pulled out the wrong business card, and instead of going back into his pocket and picking out the right one, he felt that he was too close to handing me a business card and decided to just let me have it and inform me that it wasn’t his. But that just seems too stupid.
2) He actually isn’t a handyman, but a full time business card distributor. And I must say, if that’s true, it kind of works. I’m a little interested in this supplement that improves my immune system… or at least contacting the person who sells it to see why this creepy dude had her business card. Either way, he delivered that card this morning, and it’s all I’ve been able to think about since. He might be a marketing genius disguised as a handyman.
3) He kidnapped the woman on the card, and in her attempt to be found, since she knew he had a knack for handing out his business cards, she switched his cards with hers. The man, not wanting to appear suspicious, gave me the business card instead of withdrawing it rapidly and saying, “WHAT HAS SHE DONE?!?! ANOTHER DAY IN THE DUNGEON FOR HER!!!!!”
