I thought I found an alien but it was just a McDonald's employee.

This is like my third post in a day but I have so much on my mind so I wont apologize.  Anyway

Let's me start this by saying I am not a believer in aliens. With that being said, at the time, I could not just dismiss the possibility of aliens. So I took to getting some alien hunting equipment. The alien hunting department is not as equipped as the ghost hunting department, so I just took what I knew. I didn't have tin foil, but I did have a baseball cap with the words “tin foil” on it, and I assumed it was a matter of effort rather than the foil actually doing anything. I took a camera I bought off of Amazon for 12 dollars (it broke) and some binoculars I had bought from the dollar store (they broke).

I’m a scaredy cat, so I didn't go very far, but people on the Ring app had been talking about seeing weird lights and sounds from a nearby empty lot. So I hopped on the bus and went there. I searched around for as long as my feet would let me (20 minutes; I don't like sand). I got tired and decided I might as well get some McDonald's after doing all that hard work. Also, I broke the camera and binoculars at the same time because I was wearing heels, and I’m already clumsy, so I fell. The binoculars were hung around my neck, so I fell on those, and honestly, the camera didn’t fall that far, but it still broke. But anyway.

I went to McDonald's, and I was in the parking lot walking towards the door. And I hear rustling and see flashing lights. So I’m already in alien detection mode, so I’m terrified. At first, I couldn't even really see the guy, but he had a really weird build (is that body shaming? I’m sorry). He was really tall and lanky, and he was like 90% legs, and they were really skinny legs, and his torso was like rectangular?? But I don't know; he creeped me out. Then he stepped into the light, and it’s just some guy, and I’m staring at him like he’s a serial murderer.

So we’re awkwardly staring at each other, and I probably look insane. I speak to explain myself, and I’m like, “I thought you were an alien.” But then I realize this dude is Mexican, so now I feel racist because I just implied he was an alien. So of course, I backtrack, and I’m like, “Not that kind of alien, but like the alien alien.” Then he just gives an awkward “oh.” So I just kinda stared and then left quickly. This was like three months ago.
