I was on my way to my weekly viola lesson and was just pulling to a parking spot close to the police station. A white minivan pulled into the space across from me. While I was pulling my music together a shirtless guy wearing basketball shorts walks out of the van and walks up to my partially open window. "Hey dude, do you have a flat-bladed screwdriver I can borrow?" I looked at him for a second and asked, "What?" He responded with some giberish that sounded like, "Whazat you're trying to shove through my speakthing?!?!" He looks at me for a second and says "Duh, I was just wondering if you have a screwdriver." I'm like "No..." and he's like, "Well then can you go down to the police station and ask for one?" I'm like, "Uh, I'm going the other way."
So he looks around and sees 4 people walking around the street who stopped to see if anything was happening. However, he didn't see the police officer who was walking along the sidewalk who had stopped to watch the situation. So the guy leans down close to the window and rests his hands on the top of the car and asks, "Dude, you wanna get robbed?" and then started looking at the other people and smirking. But the way he said it was so ridiculously non-intimidating and the fact that the police officer was quickly walking over to my car made me almost start laughing. So I looked at him and said, "Okay fine, I'll go to the police station," Then I acted scared, paused for a second, and said, "No wait, I have a better idea" as I pulled out my wallet. "Here I have this 2 mm guitar pick that works really well as a screwdriver." So the guy gets starts fidgeting, his hands start shaking, and he says, "No wait, I wasn't serious. I didn't mean that." and I'm like, "No really take it, I don't need it." Then I stopped and looked over at the cop walking over. As I'm doing this, the guy looks over to see what I'm staring at and he starts yelling "NO KEEP IT, I NEVER WANTED ANYTHING FROM YOU!" and runs away. So the cop walks over and asks me if I'm okay and I'm like "Yeah, the poor guy just wanted a screwdriver."
