Just had a very strange conversation with an elderly lady

I went to the local convenience store to get a lottery ticket (I don't always win, but I always lose). The lady in front of me was having trouble figuring out how to use the card reader, and the clerk was helping her. When she was done, the clerk handed her the receipt to sign, and she couldn't figure out how to use the stylus.<br><br>Anyway, after she left, I went up to the counter and started to tell the clerk that story about how my dad used to complain that he couldn't use payphones anymore because he didn't have dimes. He would grumble about how he would always carry dimes when he was a kid, but once they stopped being useful, he just stopped carrying them because they were stupid.<br><br>Then I was going to tell her that story about how one of my grandmothers was so confused by the debit card machine at a restaurant that the waiter started to think that she was trying to get out of paying the bill.<br><br>The clerk interrupted me and said "I know, I had to help another lady use the card reader earlier." I thought that was a little strange, but I continued with my story. "An elderly lady couldn't figure out how to use the card reader?"<br><br>"No," she said, "I had to help another lady use the card reader just a few minutes ago." There was no other lady! I continued with my story again, and she interrupted me again with the same line.<br><br>At this point, I started to feel like I was in some weird time loop. Then it hit me that we hadn't actually spoken, she was just mimicking me. I said "Did you just think that I was mimicking you, and you started mimicking me?"<br><br>"Yes!"<br><br>I don't know if that's the weirdest conversation I've ever had, or the most boring. Am I being paranoid, or should I get out of Dodge?
