At the airport, I walk up as the elevator door is closing and there is a woman inside with a stroller. I slowed down because I wasn't in a hurry and would rather catch the next one. Then I saw a little girl about 2 or 3 is playing in a flower pot thing nearby. I realize she was likely meant to be on the elevator with her mom, but the doors are closed by the time I put it together.
I walk up to her and said "did your Mommy get in the elevator?" She just shyly smiles. I sit down with her and decide to wait in place for a few mins for the mom to realize.
A minute or two later, a man walks up and says "excuse me can I have child?" in a thick russian-y accent.
I was trying to decide what to ask to figure out if she was his kid, when the elevator door reopened and the woman came flying out yelling for the girl. She hops up happily and runs over to the mom. I stared at guy with an accusing look, then he turned and got in the elevator too.
Idk what the heck was going on there. Was he with them? Did he think I was trying to take their kid? Was he a creeper following them? So awkward. I literally sat silent through the whole weird encounter.
For you :What's the most awkward situation you've ever been in with a stranger?
