Ira Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 The pump housing of our spa pool was cracked and leaking. Went to a Pumping Supplies and Installations in Petone. I walked in and said, "Can I get another one of these?" and handed the pump housing to the guy and he said, "We've sold you one of these before, haven't we?" "Yeah, about 4 years ago." "I can't quite remember your name, what does it start with?" Then I hear from around a divider so she couldn't see me a woman says, "Is that Ira?" These people even recognizes my voice! And I only go in there maybe once every year or two! They must be stalking me! I'd be sleeping with a gun now if I tended to get paranoid.

I remember some of my customers. Even after not seeing them for awhile. Funny how certain names/faces seem to stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 :lol: that is always an odd feeling! Soon after the D.vice (um... 'adult') shop opened up here I went in. I recognised the staff member as having working in the Wellington shop (but didn't say anything). The thing is SHE recognised ME as having been to the Wgtn shop.... a random customer who has visited maybe five times in the last five years and didn't buy much....! You get recognised by people who work in pool shops, I get recognised by people who work in adult shops! Hope the pump isn't too dramatic or expensive to replace.

Caryl Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Grant just booked a motel we had previously spent one night in 2 years ago on the previous rally. The man said "Oh yes, you do the communications with the car rally don't you?" He had remembered him (he also remembered another Ham who had also contacted them to book a room again). On a similar note to Stella. Do you know what sort of looks you get from young (and they are all a LOT younger than me these days) policeman when you go to report your bag stolen and he asks you to describe it so you say "It was a black shoulder bag with D-Vice Designer Sex Gear written on it" :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spink Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I had something weird happen to me last night, but not of the shopping experience kind....... I had my first thrashing about, had to be woken up nightmare dream. I distinctly remember my hands pushing someone away and saying stop, and hubby told me I was tossing around and pushing him and calling out no in my sleep, then he decided to try and wake me. Good thing he did, God knows what THAT dream was about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing he did, God knows what THAT dream was about! Glad he woke you. I sort of remember having a dream like that sometime. My head felt like lead on the pillow and I just couldn't wake. Maybe I was dreaming that I couldn't wake...who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spink Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I've had all the weird dreams in the past, woken up with a start, done the whole starting snoring and woke myself up thing too, but never anything like this, and what gets me more is that it has stayed with me all day. Kinda creepy, but I'm taking my herbal sleeping pills tonight to relax a little more - that is if the hail storms and police sirens don't keep me awake!

Cricketman Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 whats really creepy is when a cop rocks up to your window, looks inside and says your first name before you even hand your licence over... though she was quite cute... but i never seen her before... lmao, weirded me out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
