I was in Barnes & Noble on 2 different occasions:
One time I had my nose in a book, and I see this little blond boy, probably 4-years-oldish, walks by. His dad was with him, and the boy points at a book on a shelf near me and says "Book." Then, his dad picks it up and sort of mumbles to no one in particular "That's right, it's a book. There are many like it but this one is mine. My book is my best friend." The boy then, frowns and trots off. I laugh out loud in the quiet bookstore and the dad sees me and smiles and his face flushes and he walks off after his son.
Another time, I am wandering aimlessly between aisles and i pause by a shelf near the customer service table. I over hear a conversation between two employees; a blond chick, and a tall brown-haired guy. It becomes clear that the guy is fairly new to the job. She says "So, what did you do before this?" and then he pauses and then says "I worked in the adult film industry mostly." I turn around, facing them, suppressing a laugh but they don't see me. The chick looks like she just saw a ghost. A good 5 seconds go by before he says "Just kidding." and they both laugh awkwardly.
Have any good ones?
