I am sure a lot of us here have experienced being so excited to only get disappointed moments later. But nothing, I guess, compared to the excitement and disappointment this man (in my story) had experienced.
One evening at my work as a host in a large grocery store, a middle-aged man approached me and asked if the store sold condoms. I replied yes. He asked me to show him where they are. I could feel he was very excited. He kept glancing outside as if somebody was waiting for him.
Not very long he was paying the condom at the self-check-out. He could not focus to what he was doing. I asked him if I could do it for him. He gave me a $20.00-bill and I paid it very quickly. I handed him the condom and his change. He took the condom but told me to keep the change. He hastily left. Man, I was happy to receive a TIP! Who does not?
Surprisingly, I was still holding my tip when the man returned to the store looking like he lost thousand bucks in the casino. He looked so disappointed. I asked him what happened. He said: "She left, man. I got to return this condom for a refund!"
He was not the only one so disappointed. I was, too! So, have you ever been so excited but ended up very disappointed?

No, I think he needed the money . . I presumed he advanced a fee to the woman!

He should have saved it for the next would have saved him time and another trip to your grocery store. I hope he gave you another tip for your kind service. I hope you didn't have to return his tip.

Hi, @rosyrose! It feels good to meet you in another site away from Bubblews! We are like hiding from Bubblews! Anyway, I think he decided to return it because he thought that brand was bad luck.

He must've felt embarrassed then. Who knows to this day whatever happened and why she left. Maybe she got tired of waiting and went elsewhere.

What an honest man! Poor guy. I wonder what the story is about this couple - may be she was spotted by another 'customer' who promised more? (lol)

@else34 I don't know . . but the guy looked like a tramp. Long shabby hairs and I could smell that he smokes. So, the woman may have changed her mind . .

Q, well, that's life. Things like that happen to anyone. It is similar to a job that I already got, but the worker I was supposed to replace changed his mind - - not to quit. And the manager decided to keep him.

I never let anything that gets me excited to get the better of me, that way if I get disappointed, it's okay, and if it turns out for the better, than I am ready for it!

Oddly enough I tend to get disappointed every time I get my hopes up...and oddly as well, everytime I'm not expecting much, good things seem to happen and surprise me:)

It is also happens to me. Sometimes I am not expecting something when all of a sudden something comes up.

That is an unusual story to tell. Too bad it had an unhappy ending.

@Hatley do you want another story to make you giggle? I decided to go over this funny story that I wrote months ago and I was smiling to find out that all who read and commented were either giggling or laughing. I wish @OceanTiarasView could read it. I am sure she would be laughing hard!

No, no . . I would have never done that to a very disappointed man! He might have decapitated me! Can you imagine the disappointment he got to find out the lady in waiting left without trace?!

O, yeah! All he needed to tell was "She left!" . . Just kidding. A customer is allowed to return an item for refund within a week after purchase with no question asked.
