    Just for the exchange of odd experiences.

    For example. Today at the supermarket.

    Me:
    - Isn't there a stop-button?
    ( stuff was piling up in front the cashier and she didn't know what was going on)
    - Yes, but nothing is happening. It's not working.

    ( she had to give me money back, but couldn't open the box either)

    - Wait, I have to call someone.

    A woman came by and gave me my money back and I left, but they still couldn't get the trail to stop.

    It happened when I arrived.

    When I got home I started to think about candid cameras and such, because it was one of those moments. But it wasn't really funny, just slightly amusing.

    Naturally, I expect you to share similar experiences below, and if you refuse, it will anger me.

    so what is exactly being classified in your scenario as a syndrome?

    No, I couldn't have used another register, because I wasn't the one using it to begin with. I was just being a humble customer and things around me went bezerk.

    I regret starting this thread.

    Someone tried to bum a smoke off me a while back and I don't smoke, didn't give any indication that I smoke and was somewhat annoyed at being asked for one.

    So I asked for 25c and of course they didn't have it, so I could rightly tell them to piss off.

    Probably. You can never be sure. It's not much that goes through those layers and layers of lard pasted upon heads and padded with hats.

    I am not sure if I understand what Carrie syndrome is... is it like when a person doing something but have no idea why is he/she doing it...? Like, why do we have to have 30 pair of shoes when most of them are never used?

    Did you have an extremely strict, religious mother, with fried out hair? It also helps if she desperately didn't want you to go to the prom. If so, then you probably have telekinesis!

    That book/movie was creepy. Stephen King for the win!

    Yes. Thank you.

    And when I called my ex today ( to make him testify against my mother) their fire-alarm went off, for no apparent reason.

    Perhaps you should start calling yourself "Damiana" instead of "Female Messiah"
