My Funny Friday Night

     This past Friday I made a spontaneous trip to Shell on the corner of South University and Barry.  As my roommate and I bundled up in about five layers we faced the cold and started walking. Michaela, my roommate made a pit stop at Sweet Frog to indulge in some froyo as I continued to Shell to get a fountain drink. I tried opening the door but for some reason it was locked. Even though it was about 9 at night, I knew they weren't closed because there were lots of people in the parking lot. I walked around the convenient store and tried the second door. It was unlocked so I proceeded inside. I headed towards the drink station as I look around and realized there was no one in the store, not even a cashier or sales clerk. Feeling slightly out of place, I headed to the door to leave seeing as though if there were no cashier, I wouldn't be able to buy a soda. Somehow both doors were now locked. I walked back in forth inside the store and called Michaela who was just next door.
     Michaela answered as I began to ramble/panic because I was now locked inside the gas station...alone. In the midst of me trying not panic, I could hear keys clattering as the door was being unlocked. In walked the cashier who was probably around sixty or seventy years old. He didn't even notice or question as to why and how someone was inside the store since he had been outside the whole time I was in the store alone. Relived to the fact that I wasn't going to have to spend the night in a Shell convenient store I proceeded to get what I had went there for originally. I bought my Diet Coke and met back up Michaela to walk back to our dorm.
     While the event was happening I wasn't laughing too much, rather I was trying not to have an anxiety attack. But as I look back just a few days later, I can't stop laughing! It was definitely an event I will remember, but I'm so glad I can look back at myself and laugh. It is evident that I was a victim of the relief theory because as I told my friends the story they couldn't help but laugh either. I'm sure they were glad to not be in my shoes in that moment. It's safe to say I can add this event to one of the many events that has triggered myself to laugh uncontrollable.
     As many say, I believe laughter is the best form of medicine especially being able to laugh at yourself. To leave you with one last memory of me as a blogger, I would like to share a humorous video that resulted in me rolling on the floor laughing.   
Farewell my blogger fans!

  1. Katelyn,

    I just first have to say that that video is pretty funny. I lol'd, literally, when I saw it. Also, I quite enjoyed your story. I one time walked into a shop (that said it was closed on the sign, so I should have figured that out), and when I walked in an alarm went off, and when I walked by an hour later a bunch of police cars were there, so apparently the alarm was triggered by my opening the door (even though they forgot to lock it). Well I am quite happy you didn't have to spend the night there, I would have been hyperventilating if that were me, haha. Good story Teammate!
