“You’re coming with us.”
After my internship, I was walking through the Georgetown campus to get some food. There is some high school visitor program going on, so these high schoolers and their parents are everywhere.
I’m walking on the sidewalk, and this lady and her kid pull up next to me to get directions. She rolls the window down:
Lady: “Excuse me, do you know where I can find the Darnell dorms?”
Me: “Yeah, that was my dorm freshman year. Keep going straight, then take a left, and it’s at the end of the road on the right.”
Lady: “We can’t get through that way in the car because they are doing construction.”
Me: “Okay, uhh… try taking a right and then–”
Lady: “You’re coming with us.”
No one had ever asked me for directions and then told me to get in the car and show them. I had nothing to do, so I was like yeah alright, let’s go.
We find the dorms. Her son gets out and goes to do something for the program, and we are waiting on him. She proceeds to show me pictures of her German Shepherd and two cats on her cell phone. It was getting kind of weird so I asked her to take me back where I was so I could get some food.
All things considered, a very odd sequence of events.
