Things that happens to me.....I'll share this story with you guys since I haven't shared in a bit.

My Aunt is a wholesale firearms seller, but worked retail for many years and everyone knows her around these parts. So, she had someone that used to know her from retail who said their sister wanted to sell a gun. My name was brought up with a description of what I do. They set up a dinner meeting , which led to other people we know being invited. In all there were 8 of us planning to come.

It was set that we meet at Chilis at 5:30 on Friday. I was coming from a retail store on the other side of Birmingham to this meeting and got stuck in traffic. It was a HORRIBLE wreck that involved raw chicken and a semi truck. Raw chicken all over three lanes of traffic....and an enormous truck dripping with raw chicken from end to end. It was SOOO YUCKY! So, I walk into this a bit late and sit on the end of the long table where there are 6 people already there.....sharing the "chicken wreck" tale with them.

We are visiting and having a nice time when my Aunt gets the text from the lady who is selling the firearm. She finds us and she sits next to me. She is talking very fast and kind of fidgety. She has a backpack and a purse....I tell her I'm the seller and explain the process. To keep her from pulling out a gun in Chilis....which I didn't know if she was going to or not?.....just to be careful.....I tell her "lets go out to my car and I can see what you've got." It turned out to be a general everday firearm, nothing out of the ordinary.

We head back in and she keeps talking on and on and on.....it was NUTS. She has tales of a murdered spouse....a room mate.....crimes commited to her that are so over the top that its unbelievable. It was sooooo unnerving and crazy that the person on the other side of her couldn't keep a straight face and had to keep turning her head to laugh at the mess I was stuck in. Nobody else could hear anything she was saying because of how loud it was in there. She kept digging in her bags....she had two phones...she kept looking and digging in those bags....pulling out one of the two phones here and there to show me pictures of her kids that she said she hadn't seen in several years "for their safety"......UGH!!!! People start to leave.....by the end of the night this person had not eaten any food, had only sipped on half of her margarita.....but had managed to talk non stop for two hours.

She says its time for her to go....we say goodbye and I look over at the lady who has sat on the other side of her who happens to be a deputy mayor. She says "let me buy you a drink" and we move over to the bar where I am a frazzled mess by this time. She said she couldn't hear all of it.....but WOW what she did hear was entertaining. We catch up and decompress a bit.

I get texts from my Aunt says "Soooooo Sorry!" I tell her she owes me big time! I got a friend request from that nut and ignored it. I also got an email which I replied to and told her I'd get this sale done asap. I will NOT have any further interactions with this person beyond that.
