Looking professional in public occasionally convinces strangers they are entitled to an explanation.

This shopper in this bite-sized story only wanted eggs, but another customer demanded credentials.

That assumption became an interrogation when a simple “no” failed to satisfy him.

One blunt response caused a total system crash.

“I don’t owe you answers.”

I made the mistake of stopping into a local grocery store while wearing a suit.

I just needed eggs.

I got my eggs and started walking up to the check-out when a man stepped in front of me and asked (demanded, really), “Are you a manager here?”

I said, “No,” and tried to step around him.

The customer just couldn’t understand why he was dressed like that.

He moved to block me and demanded, “Why are you wearing a suit then??”

I said, “I don’t owe you answers.”

He blanked. He gave me that “cursor blinking—404 file not found” look while failing to process that not everyone answered to him.

While he was processing that, I stepped around him and walked to the checkout line.

Wow! As if only managers can dress like that.

Let’s see how Reddit readers relate to this guy.

This person has never seen a grocery manager in a suit.

It sounds like this reader is a pro.

This lady acts like a kindergarten teacher.

Great point.

The man blocked this shopper twice, first demanding a manager and then demanding an explanation for the suit.

Instead of defending his wardrobe, the suited customer reminded him that no answers were owed and continued toward checkout.

The stranger encountered one firm boundary, and his entire operating system stopped responding.
