TIFU by thinking I was dead after getting my shot and causing a McDonald's worker to think I was insane
I stood in queue in the cruel and unusual March heat for two hours to receive my vaccine shot. After feeling no side effects whatsoever, I decided to go to the McDonald's near the vaccination site.
I stood in front of the one service person in there silently for a bit, when she looked up and asked me, "You are dead?"
I thought I must have misheard. This is the chaos that then ensued:
Me: Huh?
Service person: You are dead?
Me: Excuse me?
Service person: You are dead?
Me: Come again?
Service person: YOU. ARE. DEAD?
Me: No! Why would you think that of me?
She then went to the cash register and said, in a thick West African accent, "Can I take your order?"
An hour later I got back to the hotel and it dawned on me what had happened: The poor woman had simply asked me over and over again if I had ordered.
"You ordered?"
I was just too woozy from the heat to really filter through the accent. It sounded exactly like "You are dead?" She must have thought me a complete imbecile.
On the plus side, I am not dead.
TL;DR: Thought I was being told I was dead after my vaccine shot, but it turns out the McDonald's worker was just asking if I had ordered.
