This was especially true when I was in college.
And in high school.
And when I got out of college.
And in junior high.
Okay, so maybe the monkey has always been and will always be with me.
But there was this one time...
See it all started at the Mall in Opelika, Alabama.
Fast food chains inside the mall would have their workers stand in front of the restaurants and hold samples of their food.
Oh, you know, you've seen them before.
Well...
One day I was at the Mall with some friends and I walked past the Chick-fil-a and saw a worker standing there holding a tray of chicken nuggets handing out samples.
So, as I walked by him I reached out and grabbed one of the nuggets and popped it in my mouth.
He said "Hey!" and looked at me like I was crazy.
It was then that I realized that his sample tray was really small.
So small that it really just looked like an actual order of nuggets.
As in, his actual order of nuggets.
Apparently the dude wasn't handing out samples.
He was just about to eat his lunch.
Except, I had walked by and stolen part of it.
Sigh.
The crazy thing is that's not my only embarrassing story about chicken nuggets.
Once in high school we stopped at a McDonalds to eat after a basketball game.
I got my McNuggets and set them on our table and then went to wash my hands.
When I came back I opened up my nuggets and one was missing.
I couldn't believe they had shorted me a nugget.
So I went back up and waited through the line again.
I explained to the worker that they had shorted me a nugget and she made this big deal about how careful they are about that and am I sure I didn't miscount.
It was a six count.
I don't think you can miscount six nuggets.
Finally, she begrudgingly gave me the McNugget.
When I got back to my table one of my friends said "Hey, I didn't have any money so I took one of your nuggets - I hope you don't mind."
Dang.
Why am I still talking about McNuggets?
I don't know.
It sounds gross though.
I'm in Auburn tonight.
We actually passed the Opelika Mall earlier this evening.
Here's a list of things I did at the Opelika Mall in College:
Camped out for Garth Brooks tickets
Got a second hole in my right ear at a Claire's Boutique
and
Ate a lot of Great American Cookie Company.
Well, all that and of course:
Stole chicken nuggets from workers.
