[civilian/former officer] Outed my own history
Okay so went to the store with family to pick up stuff my daughter needs for school. As we are about finished and heading to the registers up front we pass a young couple standing by the bottled starbucks beverages. She is opening them one by one, describing what she likes about each then having him take a shot before she recaps them and puts them back on the shelf. I pause watching this and she says "What? He needs to know." To which I respond "Whatever waffle twat." and carry on my way.
Now I happen to like wearing funny shirts so at the registers the loss prevention officer walks by and give a smile and a "I like your shirt."
"Thanks man. BTW, you have a couple in the bottled starbucks popping them open, she is describing what she likes then having him try them before closing them up and putting them back on the shelf."
His face falls, he calls for a lady in the area to run over there and asks me if I can give him a basic description of the couple.
"Sure no problem. Female Hispanic about 5'4" around 160 lbs in jeans and a V cut light blue shirt. 931
Caucasian male about the same age but about 5'9" and 200 lbs. Basic button up shirt, blue, faded blue jeans and athletic shoes. Brown hair. Basic frat boy, former athlete look who has let himself go after college."
Loss prevention guy, gal a register, older gal at next register and a couple other customers were just standing there staring at me as loss prevention asked "You in law enforcement?"
"Former, is it obvious?" to which my teenage daughter pipped up "Yep, never more so. Outed yourself." I just gave her a look "I'm not trying to hide it or anything." We were done by then and went ahead and left with me wishing loss prevention a good day.
As a note my daughter just likes giving me crap whenever I do something "not normal". She is actually thinking of going into law enforcement herself but wants to be a "lab geek". 536
