I didn't know I could go to the bank for my outdoors activity supplies!

Scene: Too early in the morning at Chase bank. A VERY perky male employee greets me and asks how I'm doing. I reply as I begin to fill out a payment slip.

Perky Employee: And how are YOU today?

Me: Well, my socially acceptable answer is that I'm great!!

PE looks at me...

Me: Sorry!!  I'm not quite awake yet, and I'm running late so things are sort of not so great, but no one ever wants to hear that... (laughing)

PE: Ah… Do you need help filling that out?

Me: Naw, I got this. (laughing) I’m awake enough that I can write my name......What's the date? (I look up, realize I'm standing directly in front of a very big calendar), Oh. It's the 16th.
Other perky (male) employee: And (name of teller) can help you with that right here! Is is cold out?
Me: Well, yeah...
OPE: Would you like some toe-warmers?
Me: (tilting head) =what=?! (brain comes to a screeching halt and I start laughing...) no, wait...what did you just say?!
OPE: We have toe-warmers if you want them...Oh! and you can use them--you don't even have socks on!
Me (looking down): Well, yeah...I'm from outside Buffalo, socks and gloves are the last things to pull out in the winter and it didn't seem cold enough for them today...
First Perky Employee: How do those even work? (Looking at the toe-warmers the teller has handed me)
Me: You put them in your shoes, and something with the air contact makes them heat up...I birdwatch, these will be useful, thanks!
OPE: See!? Have a great day!!

And... end scene on a surreal beginning to my day...
