The weirdest thing happened to me at Walmart. I was getting groceries and minding my own business. I'm a pretty friendly person, and when I make eye contact with people I just naturally smile at them. Nothing freaky and huge, just a polite smile. As I was bagging apples I looked up and saw a couple walking by. I made eye contact with the woman and smiled. But instead of a normal smile back (or sometimes even a "hi" from some people) she said, "Don't you smile at me!" and kept on walking. Her husband just looked at me and continued on with his wife. I was kind of thrown off for a second, and it momentarily made me feel bad. But then I just laughed to myself and brushed it off.Kind of a random story, but I thought it was pretty funny. Some people just don't want to be smiled at, I guess! I'll be sure to watch out for her next time.

Ha ha ha ha ha. I can only imagine this happening! I can't stop laughing!
That is hilarious! Who says that?! I would never have the guts to say something like that to someone after they smiled at me... thanks for sharing!!
Lol; you should wave to her or pat her on the back if you see her again...people can be so strange!
That is SO funny. You keep being your happy and bubbly self!
Oh my gosh what a weirdie! That is so funny! Well at least she was the one who looked like an idiot. ha ha Love the page smiley!
Oh that is too funny! Sad, but really funny. How random of someone! hahaha, i just have this image of you smiling really big at someone and...oh man, this has got me laughing good!
I wonder if she thought she recognized you and you look like someone she's not very happy with at the moment. Some people can be so funny. :) I'm glad you didn't let it upset you because I love it when people smile back at me in the store.
well i love it when you smile alli! haha funny story that has totally happened to me before too!
What a wacko! She obviously was having a bad day. Good for you for smiling! I don't know about Idaho, but in Utah, it seems like people avoid making eye contact or smiling, It bugs me so bad! When you go out of state, like when I was in Nashville, it was so awesome how friendly people were.
I don't blame her. I probably would've done the same thing. You're smiles are really freaky Alli. j/k. :) I hate it when people don't smile back! I remember when I moved down to SLC i would walk around the Walmart and no one would smile back at me, and then FINALLY this huge scary looking guy smiled back at me--and even though i was scared he was going to follow me to my car, i almost went and hugged him cause someone had finally smiled back!! You keep smiling Alli, and I'll beat up anyone who gives you a bad time. :)
You should have asked her if she would rather have the finger instead!!!!! Heee Heee
That is so funny! I can't believe someone would say that! Love your new Easter background...so festive and fun!
That is hilarious! Who does that?!?! She must be a very unhappy person!
That's terrible! I can't believe someone is that much in a bad mood to actually say that to someone!! Wow! I do the same thing and would be totally caught off-guard! Wow!! Have a happy day! Lataz~Love always, Kasey
