Having not had another strange Walmart encounter since the "injured marine" played the rube in me for a decent amount of money for "cab fare" at 3 AM, I was not prepared for this.

Earlier in the night I went on an intoxicated Walmart walking trip (...there's not a lot to do around here) with a friend and had a really weird experience. As we were standing in the check out line there was a loud commotion at the front of the store down the way from us. It was a... uh... noticeably retarded voice shouting about a mailbox. The few workers milling around the registers seemed to be largely ignoring him, except for one younger cashier he seemed to be focused on. While my friend has stepped up to be rung up, I'm just kind of staring over towards the other end of the store watching this. I hear my friend ask if he could get a pack of cigarettes.

This seemingly inconsequential request found us redirected to the single (currently closed) lane that has tobacco products... at the other end of the store, smack dab in the the eye of the storm. The girl he was bothering was told to ring us up at the "tobacco register". She speed walks away from the guy towards us as we walked down, and then walked back with us to the register. She starts mumbling about how he has been here every single night this week, walking back and forth in the front of the store bothering everyone, but no one wants to do anything about it. The poor girl's eyes pleaded with me to kill her. As I'm listening to the harrowing tale I notice movement from the corner of my eye - he approaches me with something in his hand.

"I trust you. Will you send this to my mom?"

I...what was that? Before I can fully process it I reach my hand out and take the letter from this older man's hand and...give him a thumbs up.

"You got it chief, I'll make sure she gets it."

Why am I agreeing to involve myself in this? Why did this have to happen while I was in an altered state?

"God bless you."

He walked off towards the exit closest to us (which is locked down at this time of night) tugging on a pair of dangling ear buds that were draped around his neck. At some point my buddy had finished the transaction and wandered away from us, apparently perfectly okay with the scenario of the guy possibly burying a pocket knife in my throat. The cashier thanked me for buying her a break from his badgering.

Perplexed, I walked towards the functional exit to join back up with my friend, with this guy's letter in my hand.

The letter	+

2008? Has he been holding onto this letter for 5 years? Choose my course of action.

A.) Throw the letter in a random USPS drop box and wish him well in his future endeavors? B.) Open the letter, don't read it, put it in a new envelope with proper postage, make sure the address is legible, and send it out from my home to give it the best chance of making it there? C.) Burn After Reading

TL;DR Walmart, 2 AM, faded, loud retarded man hands me a letter to send to his mom. What do?

A.) tbh.

Although in a situation like this I'd want to let my curiosity run wild, I'd more than happily just toss it in a mailbox and be done with it. I like to be a good samaritan but there's a limit. And since the letter is 5 years old and the guy who gave it you has some kind of a problem the actual contents and the prospect of it arriving safely might be immaterial anyway.

I wanted nothing more than to either read it or start a talk show solely to try to help him reunite with his family this morning before I fell asleep, but upon waking up I feel the same way. He's probably this far away from home for a reason. I'll drop it at the post office tomorrow.

I don't agree that the body guard is reptilian but I do believe there is something strange going on.
