Think about this one. Have you ever known someone that you liked and respected (a friend, relative, co-worker, authority figure, whomever) that did something that was totally out of character for that person, and you never found out why he/she did it? I’ll give you a few:
A friend told me used to have an old friend of his for many years whom he along with their wives did “couples dates” (FYI–NOTHING SEXUAL HERE FOLKS, just friends getting together to have dinner, play cards, whatever). A few months after their Christmastime get-together, my buddy runs into this guy at a park coaching a soccer game, and the guy acted very coldly to him. All subsequent attempts to visit and socialize have since been ignored. My buddy even wrote a letter apologizing for whatever he might have done, but there were no responses. My friend has since moved on.
Another guy I know said that when he was a boy he was visiting his friend and for some unknown reason the friend’s dad yells downstairs that “YOU ARE A GUEST IN MY HOME AND I WANT YOU TO LEAVE NOW! GET OUTTA’ HERE!” Neither my buddy nor his friend knew for sure if dad was addressing him because dad’s voice came from upstairs. Dad said it again. They were not being loud or obnoxious and he had been going over there for years. My friend left the house but a few weeks later he chance encounters the old man in the grocery store who says “Hey Tony did you and Steve get into an argument or something?”
“No Sir, why?”
"Well I haven’t seen you over at the house in awhile. Where’ve you been?
“Well…uh…just busy with schoolwork and baseball”
“Okay well, don’t be a stranger.”
Tony felt that since he was on dad’s good side again that there was no reason to ask why he was evicted the month before.
So…any odd encounters with your friends or relatives that made no sense? Did you ever find out why those incidents occurred? Feel free to be detailed.
