I ALMOST DIED!

I have a creepy story. At 11:30 last night I realized there were some things I need for today. So I put an over sized sweater on, hoping no one would notice I wasn't wearing a bra (then I remembered where I was going and didn't actually care) and made the trek to Walmart. Which isn't actually a trek cause it is just down the road. I had that uneasy feeling that you sometimes get and wisely parked under a light in the parking lot. I step out of my car and see another car pull up and that uneasy feeling level went from 4 to 11100. The windows were darkened to the point of not being able to see into it, even under a light and it was a very nice car. And there are nice cars in St. George but they are all owned by old people and as we all know, old people go to bed at 4 so for this nice, dark, creepy car to be at Walmart it was for sure out of place. I'm walking toward the entrance keeping the corner of my eye on this car, 4 mean creepy drug lords looking like mexicans step out. And my uncomfortable level jumped to one trillion and seven. My first thought when I saw these guys was "Great they are going to rob Walmart, take me hostage and do some kind of drive by." Well I stare them down a bit, kind of a "hey I won't go down without a fight so don't try anything" look. I enter the store to get what I need and I notice one of the guys seems to be around every corner, I think he was following me. Pretty sure he was so I walked around Walmart kind of passing time til they leave or I figure something out cause I sure as hell was not going to walk into a dark parking lot with nothing but a bunch of banana's and a Swiss army knife. After about half an hour I didn't notice this guy following me anymore and I decide it's probably ok to go but I still wasn't walking out to my car alone, so I spend a little more time walking around looking for a man to walk me to my car. There are about a million women and old men around and I'm like "REALLY WALMART THIS IS WHO YOU ARE GONNA HIRE TO WORK AT NIGHT?!!?" Finally I notice some frat boys checking out so I hurry to check out and ask one of them to walk me to my car. So it was fine in the end and obviously there are some points where I am exaggerating the story a bit but really it was a frightening situation. And I was so scared I had a hard time sleeping last night which has made today a very middle of the week kind of Wednesday. Today people were honking at me and I did the jerk awake thing and I found myself in the drive through at Del Taco. Apparently I had ordered a chicken soft taco and some cheesecake bites. But I was like 'Who honks in the Del Taco drive through?!" Are you all really that anxious to get your burrito's that are gonna give you explosive diarrhea?!?
