When I got robbed in the Post Office
It was the 20 th of December when I went to the Post Office to
collect a parcel.
I also wanted to withdraw some money.
As I stood in the queue everybody seemed in good humour because it
was close to Christmas.
When I approached the counter I thought I would chance my luck on
a scratch card.
As she passed out my money from under the window I passed back
€3 and asked,
“Can I get a Winning Streak?”
She looked up and said “I will, thanks very much!”
I can only imagine she thought I said
“Get yourself a drink!”
I stood looking gobsmacked.
I was too embarrassed to say anything so I turned around and
walked out.
When I say I was robbed I mean it was really a misunderstanding I
think??
