Whisky Tango Foxtrot

[HumasWanderingWeiner]

So this is a thread about things that make you say "what the fuck". Things that you see that cause that reaction. They can be while you are out and about or things that you see online, or ..... Google "weird things seen at Walmart" for an example.

I was out today, in an area of town where malls and heavy retail exists and I saw a woman walking down the sidewalk with a roller suit case. It wasn't near any train or bus station, much less the airport. And any homes or apartments were quite a distance away, and she wasn't going in the direction one would go to get to them. I thought, "whiskey tango foxtrot", where is she going with her suitcase and how did she get here? Was she headed for Home Deopot or Starbucks?

When the days of texting back and forth finally revealed the scam. I should have known. WTF.

Homeless perhaps? It's one way for homeless folk to carry their stuff around. Or perhaps she just bought a suitcase from the retail area?

(Things that make me WTF: the idea of a mall/retail area with no train or bus facilities!)

Yeah - my thoughts exactly Bramblethorn.

There is local bus service. And trains can't be everywhere. And she was not homeless. She was dressed well. It was a nice suite case too.

WTF. Why is my inbox so quiet today? It's never this quiet.

Around here, the tourists use those in shopping malls as we have several outlet malls. When you buy a lot, malls don't have shopping carts and it's tough to schlep everything around that you buy as they will spend the entire day shopping.
Theres a couple of vendors that stocks them cheap and sell out weekly. a shopper will buy one or more suitcases, buy all the clothes they want then ship them home in the suitcase. Nice, neat package.
